RPGs of the Week: Sleepy Monday Edition

Ugh, I'm really having trouble staying awake today. I think it has something to do with the whole "Monday" thing, but I have no solid facts to back that up.

Anyways, RPGs continue to roll forth onto platforms around the globe this week (March 23 - 27, 2009), and as usual, I have a nice little list to tell you what they are.

North America
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time - Square Enix - Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii
Pokemon Platinum - Game Freak, Nintendo - Nintendo DS

Japan
Dragoneer's Aria: Ryuu ga Nemuru made (The Best) - Hit Maker, Nippon Ichi - PSP
Makai Senki Disgaea 2 Portable - Nippon Ichi - PSP
Rogue Galaxy Director's Cut (The Best) - Level 5, SCEJ - PlayStation 2
Wild ARMs: The Vth Vangard (The Best) - Media.Vision, SCEJ - PlayStation 2

Europe
Drakensang: The Dark Eye - Radon Labs, Eidos - PC
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time - Square Enix - Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii
Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis - Gust, Koei - PlayStation 2
Mana Khemia: Student Alliance - Gust, Koei - PSP
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix - Infinite Interactive, D3 - PC
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure - Nippon Ichi, Square Enix - Nintendo DS

Lots of NIS this week everywhere but North America, with Japan getting a re-release of Dragoneer's Aria and the PSP port of Disgaea 2. Meanwhile, Europe bags Rhapsody DS courtesy of Square Enix.

Square Enix's first DS-Wii multiplatform title, Echoes of Time, hits both North America and Europe, while Nintendo's multi-bazillion dollar Pokemon franchise makes its latest debut in North America.

Europe gets both versions of Mana Khemia on the same day, along with the PC release of the new Puzzle Quest and Drakensang.

Besides the re-releases of Nippon Ichi titles, Japan gets a couple of Sony-published RPGs re-released on the 6th gen platform that won't die.

Anything worth your hard-earned cash this week?
