OK, setting aside the Nintendo crazification factor, what do we have for this Halloween week?
The horror is out in force with Luigi's Mansion 3 (review forthcoming), Vampyr, and Resident Evil 5, with a certain version of horror allowing for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. Disgaea 4 Complete+ brings the funny vampires with a side of strategy RPG, and there's a whimsy to Ghost Parade.
We need some more whimsy, though.
I was a big fan of Harvest Moon: Mad Dash at E3, so that'll bring a few marriages together. And there's a new Atelier game that seemed quite popular across the Pacific, so we'll have to get that to our review committee forthwith.
