Japan receives a mix of RPGs, shooters, mathematics training for youngsters and short quizzes about feudal Japanese history.
Virtual Console
Romancing Saga 3 (800pts, Super Famicom - Square-Enix) – The third in a series of RPGs from one of the RPG masters.
Exed Exes (800pts, Arcade - Capcom) – An early Capcom shooter we cannot say we're great fans of, but it's nice to see Capcom putting out VCA titles.
DSiWare
Arc Style: Robot Rescue (200pts - Arc System Works) – Arc System Works' DSiWare import parade continues; this time it's Teyon's robot Lemmings game. We though it was decent enough, read our Robot Rescue review for more information.
Sokuren Keisen Shōgaku 1 Nensei (200pts - IEEE Institute) – Mathematics training for Grade 1 pupils. Can't start them on that stuff early enough, eh?
3 Minute Tenka Tōitsu (500pts - Gakken Publishing Co.) – A quiz game about Tokugawa Japan - sound exciting?

Not much I'm interested in.
More SaGa for the Win. Too bad the Romancing series never made it to the West.
I love RS3! I think I might actually give that one a courtesy play in the next couple days...my favorite in the SaGa series.
Still no WiiWare? Wow. Other than that, not a bad week though.
Meh, nothing that looks interesting.
Didn't see Arc System Works porting Robot Rescue ... interesting.
Exed Exes is a noisy schmup. I was watching a video on it and there are very little weapon upgrades. I don't understand what the VCA is up to. I would think they would put out more popular games. I don't know what the limitations the developers have for these games, but I'd like to see some good 90's arcade games.
FF:MQ was one of the games I was waiting for, but after so long of little to no releases I just went out and got a SNES and the game instead! Too bad for you, Nintendo and Square!
@ LuWiiGi: Well, there was WiiWare two weeks in a row: a new puzzler from Nintendo and BIT.TRIP RUNNER!
I've gotta wonder if Exed Exes even has an ending point, because one time I tried playing through the whole game on Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded on the PSP. I left off at either stage 12 or 13; the stages are so darn long.
Romancing Saga 3 very awesome
