Unlike last year, when it seemed like ten indie games got released on the same day about this time, the first July update of 2015 is light in North America. The biggest Wii U release is, of course, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For those of you who can't find a retail version of Ocarina 3D for MSRP or lower, you can get an inexpensive version of the N64 version that still plays somewhat portably... and if you happened to own it on Wii, it's even cheaper.

In North America, the other spotlight release is Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3, which follows up a 3DS launch title and has a ton of DLC. We've got a preview video on NWR TV from Curtis Bonds, and should have a review of the game proper soon. There's also Roving Rogue on the Wii U, which Neal will be reviewing very soon.

What didn't come out in North America probably came out in Europe, though, because we have three Virtual Console games this week across the pond. In addition to the previously mentioned Ocarina, we've got a pair of Intelligent Systems portable rarities in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Also, dinosaurs, a stanking amount of sales, and a 3DS game that is best avoided for the sake of your sanity.
