Well, it's another slow week for the RPG across all three major gaming territories. I suppose with E3 just around the bend, it might be nice to catch a quick breather before some new announcements.I don't have much of an amusing preamble to go with the releases this week, so let's just get on with it, shall we?
The following RPGs are shipping out for the week of May 18 - 22, 2009:
North America
Steal Princess - Climax, Atlus - Nintendo DS
Japan
Mass Effect - BioWare, EA - Xbox 360
Takt of Magic - Nintendo - Nintendo Wii
Europe
Pokemon Platinum - Game Freak, Nintendo - Nintendo DS
North America bags Atlus' localization of a platformer/action-RPG, while Japan finally gets a piece of the Mass Effect pie, and Nintendo's latest SRPG. Europe gets Pokemon. Can or should they really ask for more?
Let me just say that if it wasn't for Atlus' seemingly undaunted support of the JRPG genre, these last two months would have been dry for North America indeed.
Anything on your shopping list this week?
