With nothing major dropping late last weeks (even a rare week off for the Archives in most markets) despite 60 games landing in NA, we go straight into this week with the biggest title being a major RPG remake. I speak, of course, of the Digital Eclipse-helmed and going 1.0 on consoles this week Wizardy: Proving Grounds of the Mad King remake. A full remaster of the game that predates me among other things, it will certainly be the most important remake of the week.
...what's that? There's a Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door remaster? Personally, I prefer to have my remakes improve quality and content, and it looks like all for the world that the new TYD does neither. And besides, we're also getting three - THREE - Neptunia this week, so I'm not in the mood to deal with much of anything. Updated 12:05pm EDT: The Neptunia games have been postponed in at least North America for now. Arceus be praised.
Other items to watch: Two Indie World veterans in Duck Detective - The Secret Salami and Hauntii, a duo of Spike Chunsoft localizations of games based on the manga/anime The Quintessential Quintuplets, and the EggConsole line adds Golvellius.
