I am once again asking for your help in getting Brave Bernadetta this week.
Before we begin a busy week, I must ask you to log into your Nintendo accounts and vote for Bernadetta (either one) in the Heroes Choose Your Legends poll so we can get a sweet looking version. Speaking of my BS, this week is rife with it as the year's first (North American) retail releases are squarely in it: Atelier Ryza 2 and Re:Zero - Starting Life In Another World.
This week's download-only titles are big as well: Cyber Shadow (published by Yacht Club Games) is the headliner tomorrow, but don't sleep on Devolver's exploration title Olija and cyberpunk RPG that actually works Disjunction. For those who like Earthbound-likes, the Citizens Unite game (Citizens of Earth and Citizens of Space) have combined into one - and also swapped publishers. (KEMCO ALERT!)
It's also a big week in Japan, with Disgaea 6, a new first party title that probably won't come west (Buddy Mission BOND brought to you by Koei Tecmo), and a couple of big visual novels.
