This Week in Imports

Last Ranker, Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Victory Road and Fire Emblem made last week a dream for import RPG players. Things are going to be slowing down quite a ways for this four day week (Monday was Marine Day, a holiday), but there are still a few notable titles coming out.

PS3 owners can look forward to Class of Heroes 2G, a remake of PSP's Class of Heroes 2 that adds new character customization options, full voice, Trophy support, and other features. On PSP, Sony is delivering Trick x Logic, the first in a series of mystery adventure games developed by visual novel master Chunsoft. MMV is finally delivering its RPG adaptation of the Fate/Extra license.

Nintendo players will find Lost in Shadow, arriving well in advance of its US counterpart (due for early 2011). On DS, Densha de Go has been drawing our eyes not because we're into trains and all, but because it's the first entry in the series to be published under the Square Enix label.


Here's the full list of Japanese releases for the week. Remember, to import these you'll need to make sure that your system is capable of playing imports. Check with your import source first if you're not sure.
