It's the rare occasion in which you can debate whether a Nintendo published game is the big game of the week: Bravely Default III: This Time It's Personal is countered by the full release of Persona 5 Strikers to give those who enjoy RPGs a coronary. But this week is busy even beyond that: the planning spreadsheet for this week runs 40 deep and it took two and a half hours to load the list.

Code;Realize -Wintertide Miracles- is also in shops this week, and Steam Prison is a) digital only and b) breaking the $59.99 US price barrier with what appears to be a randomly selected number (but is likely straight conversion). Capcom's doubleheader of old school concludes with Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, and we have a loving tribute to Crazy Taxi in Taxi Chaos giving me a lift. I'll also be monitoring Curse of the Dead Gods and Forward to the Sky, plus RetroMania Wrestling in the search for a good grappling game delayed due to cert issues, and that I MIGHT be able to finish prior to March 26.

Japan gets a fair few visual novels and two standalone Darius releases this week.
