Not long enough

Well, I was looking forward to this week, that was before Arc Rise Fantasia got delayed into next week. I should have see that coming, frankly. Japan isn't any better off. Fate/Extra is a Persona rip-off made by the same people who made the last few Persona games to begin with. Scandalous! Also, Ninety-Nine Nights II. Extreme! That reminds me, I sort of forgot to play that game over the past week. Oops.

Next week America gets the aforementioned ARF (that's an unfortunate acronym), and BlazBlue Continuum Shift. I've actually grown bored of BlazBlue as a whole, so I'm not really interested anymore, especially since this is just the original game with two new characters. While the pickings are slim in the US, Japan gets release-mageddon next Thursday. Eight games, of varied quality, but still a ton compared to any previous week. I'm personally the most interested in Metal Max 3, since it's a new entry in a long dormant RPG series, created by the original developers too boot. I hope one of these "niche publishers" comes through with this one, Pub Of The Year is still up for grabs. Next we have Neo Geo Heroes Ultimate Shooting, which is pretty much KOF Sky Stage with more characters. Sengoku Basara 3 also looks interesting for some reason, probably because it's a real console game. Ys VS Sora no Kiseki is the last game on the list that I'll admit has any merit. The rest is stuff I'll only point out because it fits the niche we've chosen for ourselves.

• Super Dimensional Game Neptune - Looks silly, but Idea Factory, bleh
• Agarest Senki Zero - 360 port, IF again
• Project Diva 2 - turned into sort of a big deal for SEGA
• Strike Witches - a shooter so terrible even I won't touch it
