Below is a tentative list of games available this week of October 1-7. Please note that all releases are subject to change.
The greatness of the all-stylus, all-the-time The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass hits North America this week alongside NOA's own dipping into the import pool for classic never-before-in-America releases Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels and Sin & Punishment.
Fans of GameCube cult hit Chibi-Robo may find love in Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol, but last we heard, it was a Wal-Mart exclusive—so get set to brave the... uh... other customers to get your copy.
A remarkably thin week for Europe this week. Unless you like... Naruto!
(European Wii Virtual Console releases are revealed on Fridays.)
There's not a whole lot to say this week except for one key point: ASH is actually releasing. You know, the game that was announced before the original DS was even available to buy back in 2004. Congratulations are clearly in order to Mistwalker—perhaps they can get a sequel out before the DS as a platform is entirely obsolete.
