Sorry this is late. I've actually had it sitting on my computer for a few days now, but have been a little swamped at work and am just getting it up now.Check out what's coming to a store near you this week (September 28 - October 2, 2009):

Lots of stuff this week. The biggest title in North America is probably the new Kingdom Hearts for DS. I don't like Kingdom Hearts, so that's on the table. But if you do, then I would imagine that you will be buying it.
Also hitting North America is the PC version of Risen, Marvelous' Valhalla Knights iteration on the Wii, and Media.Vision's latest RPG, Riz-Zoawd (which has been renamed to something super long for North America). Oh, there's another MMO coming out this week too. (Who has time to play all these MMOs?)
Japan, meanwhile, recovers from TGS with Level 5's soccer-RPG sequel, Inazuma Eleven 2 (in two different flavours), 2 crossover RPGs, Trinity Universe for PS3, and the 360 port of Cross Edge, and the PSP port of Mana Khemia 2. Also, Bahamut Lagoon is hitting Japanese Wii Virtual Consoles.
Europe has a PC-flavoured week with Risen and an expansion for Sacred 2.
Anything looking worth it to you this week?

I had a chance yesterday to order video games at Amazon at 20% off (loophole involving stacking ECA discount codes), so I went ahead and preordered most everything that I'm remotely interested in for 2010 that Amazon had available. Mass Effect 2, Fragile, Arc Rise Fantasia, Sakura Wars, Resonance of Fate, FF13, FFv13, and Monado: Beginning of the World (as well as some non-RPG stuff). Now I just have to decide which ones I actually want to keep.
whoa. you can preorder Monado? one under the radar trailer without even a hint of a release date and Amazon will already take your money? that's got to be some kind of new low.
Yeah, it's strange sometimes which preorders are available. Metal Gear Solid Rising became available within *minutes* of the very first announcement. Whereas other games like Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Final Fantasy Agito XIII aren't in the catalog yet even though they've been known for months. In any case, Amazon doesn't "take your money" until the game ships, so there's no penalty for preordering way in advance and then changing your mind.
oh, god. Bahamut Lagoon. I really need that one ! I don't know how many hours I've spent playing it ...
I never tried Sacred II (although I loved the first one), and don't know about Risen, so nothing for me this week.
Living in Europe sucks when it comes to games, I eventually see a little part of the interesting games but ... late, so laaaate ... :(
@Shryver: i know what you mean, but when a game isn't region locked i will import it.
