We have a good week coming up, and to make up for it, next week is (almost) completely barren. Triangle Service's Shooting Love 200X is getting it's long overdue budget re-release through XBLA's Games On Demand, and Star Ocean 4 International is hitting the PS3 a year late, with marginal "improvements." The real deal this week is Sandlot's Zangeki no Reginleiv, which as far as I can tell is a made up word. I've been on the fence about SO4I. On the one hand I like that it's technically competent, using the Blu-ray storage capacity to fit the entire game efficiently on a single disc, while incorporating all region distinct version features (anime/CG portraits, five different voice and subtitle tracks). On the other hand, SO4 isn't really good enough to slog through again, for what seems like very little in the way of new content. Maybe if they threw in a new planet to explore, or something that's not part of the post-game super dungeon. I might grab this when it hits the bargain bin at Amazon.com. I'll pick up Shooting Love, since that one's already in the bin, and Zangeki since it'll be 2011 before any other regions see it.
The only thing of barely marginal note next week is the Data East Arcade Classics collection for the Wii. On that Amazon page, you'll notice that the game's release date is listed as this week, but do to the incompetent nature of American distribution channels, next week is the most realistic date for when boxes will actually appear on shelves. Data East is easily a fourth string dev, and exactly how "classic" their games are is up for debate, but anything that keeps the old 16-bit arcade magic going is OK in my book. If I find a few extra bucks in the couch cushions, I'll grab it. The Year Of the Wii continues.
