RPGs of the Week: Third for 3

I'm slowly starting to come out of my post-E3 depression, which I seem to have to put up with every year (since E3 every year seems to let me down).

As such, a couple of weeks have come and gone without a proper new RPGs list. So here are the games that have/will come out this week (July 5 – 10, 2010):

North America
Persona 3 Portable – Atlus – PSP

Japan
Bokujou Monogatari: Futago no Mura – Marvelous – Nintendo DS
Shiro Kishi Monogatari: Hikari to Yami no Kakusei – Level 5, SCEI – PlayStation 3
Zikande Fantasia – Idea Factory – PSP

Europe
Breath of Fire III (PSP Essentials) – Capcom – PSP
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP Essentials) – Capcom – PSP

North America gets the third edition of Persona 3 (which though I love, is starting to border on excessive - and who wants to put down money that there will be a Persona 3DS?).

Japan, meanwhile gets the approximately 100th Harvest Moon for DS, the "sequel" to White Knight Chronicles, and Idea Factory's take on Half-Minute Hero, Zikande Fantasia (previously known as Jikan de Fantasia), which looks like the most promising title this week (to me, anyway).

Europe, meanwhile, will have to be satisfied with Capcom PSP reprints.

Oh, and by way of catch up, here are last week's releases (June 28 – July 3, 2010):

North America
N3: Ninety-Nine Nights II – feelplus, Phantagram, Konami – Xbox 360
Puzzle Quest 2 – Infinite Interactive, D3 – XBLA
Trinity Universe – Idea Factory, Gust, Nippon Ichi, NIS America – PlayStation 3

Japan
Boku mo Sekai wo Sukuitai – Poisoft – WiiWare
Digimon Story: Lost Evolution – Namco Bandai – Nintendo DS
Elminage II DS Remix: Sousei no Megami to Unmei no Daichi – Starfish SD – Nintendo DS
Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen!! Bomber/Spark – Level 5 – Nintendo DS

Europe
(none)

I'm working on NieR at the moment, but I hope to eventually get around to End of Eternity, Puzzle Quest 2, and N3II before the summer ends. What about you?
