RPGs of the Week: Heavenly Bride Edition

Welcome to another week of RPGs. There's some good stuff this week, so I'll just cut to the chase and give you the low-down on the new RPGs shipping to retailers around the world this week (February 16 - 20, 2009).

North America
Blue Dragon Plus - Mistwalker, feelplus, Ignition - Nintendo DS
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride - ArtePiazza, Square Enix - Nintendo DS


Japan
Sacred Blaze - Flight Plan - PlayStation 2
Shining Force Feather - Flight Plan, Sega - Nintendo DS
Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope - tri-Ace, Square Enix - Xbox 360

Europe
Disgaea 3 - Nippon Ichi, Square Enix - PlayStation 3
Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride - ArtePiazza, Square Enix - Nintendo DS

Fans of old school Dragon Quest will likely be falling all over themselves to grab a copy of Dragon Quest V for DS in both North America and Europe.

Europe also grabs the PS3 SRPG Disgaea 3.

However, Japan gets the sweetest deal this week (in my opinion) with tri-Ace's Star Ocean 4 for Xbox 360. Aaahhh, jealousy! We have another week to wait in North America, while our European friends have to wait a couple more months. Sorry. :(

Japan also grabs Sacred Blaze and Shining Force Feather to fill that need for SRPGs.

What's looking sweet to you this week?

Game Informer gave it a 7. I disagree. Can't wait for your 3 hour review.
