If you're going to flame me for the headliner, send it to connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com
It's already been a busy month for NIS America, but they have one more headliner for this week with the long-awaited worldwide release of R-Type Final 2 which is the week's headliner. The latest iteration of the long-standing shooter franchise drops Friday and I, for one, can't wait. (There is a demo if you need convincing.)
Other titles this week: A shorter game than R-Type Final 2 hits with the new Pokemon Snap, or a whole lot of visual novel with the Grisaia Phantom Trigger collection. Death end re;Quest is the rare Idea Factory International game that doesn't immediately get cancelled on sight, and the follow-up to train game Conduct Together comes here with Fly Together. Also, Ultimate Custom Knight is a crossover title of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. Name of the week honours fall to Angels With Scaly Wings.
Japan gets the shooter, the other shooter, a Fate universe cooking game (???) and a new contender for "most Japanese game".
