New Releases 11/28-12/4: No Stranger to Danger Edition



Between helming a commercial crab-fishing boat in dangerous waters, playing an imperative part in the Battle of Berlin, and racing over mountainous courses at breakneck speeds, many of this week’s new releases are bound to produce tragedy. For those less thrilled to ride the paths to injury, there’s always a cartoon mouse and kitty which also are seeking guidance.

DesertEagle’s Pick: Beyond a few niggling camera issues, Disney’s Epic Mickey is everything I anticipated. Combining Super Mario Galaxy-inspired platforming, a bit of Portal-light puzzling with decades of Disney lore had me awake through the A.M. hours. Welcome back, Mr. Spector- it’s been too long.

  1. Epic Mickey. Ive been waiting for it.

    (I didn’t know the name had “Disney” in it.)

  2. Wait a few weeks before Christmas and that’s all there is?

  3. Nothing for me this week.

  4. The only thing worst considering is Disney Epic Mickey.

  5. Ive been looking forward to No Releases for the PSP for a long time.

  6. Sounds like a perfect week for me. Too bad there’s no games I want to play. 4

  7. I’m curiosu as to how a Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos game might work.

  8. You forgot to capitalize Nail’d.

  9. What did you guys thing of Lazy- I mean Crazy Taxi for 360?

  10. Maybe nail’d will drop soon. I’d pick up a Pure-like game for $20.

  11. I still need to get GT5. Where’s the review guys?

  12. You’ve played Disney Epic Mickey, Deagle?

  13. Epic Mickey looks, well, epic.

  14. I love the generic titles: Spellforce 2: Faith in Destiny and 7 Wonders 2…

    Is that 14 wonders?

  15. crap week for games. Maybe Mickey is ok, but I don’t have a Wii anymore.

  16. Drinking like John Daly can be pretty dangerous, too.

  17. is Sniper Elite supposed to be any good?

  18. Steer boat, catch fish and crabs, avoid drowning. Rinse and repeat.

  19. Um, that’s hardly a cut and paste.

  20. What was Warren Spector’s last game?

  21. Lance 'Sly' Cooper

    Unless its seven to the 2nd power.

  22. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn it is.

  23. thats the way the game is written out. all lower case=THE NEW ALL CAPS.

  24. I might say Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, but I don’t know if it going to be just another JRPG.

  25. It;s Camelot and a first party title. I will be Golden!

  26. Epic Mickey this week.

  27. I’m sure it will.

  28. I’m thinking Golden Sun this week.

  29. Only one pick this week?

  30. I’m interested in Hello Kitty: Sniper Elite

  31. Camaro if it comes with a free car.

  32. When does the Super Mario 25th Anniversary collection come out?

  33. its a BYE week for me.

  34. Epic Mickey Collector’s edition.

  35. totally different. Nice try but fail.

  36. The first 7 Wonders wasn’t too bad. I like those Bejeweled styled games.

  37. Good luck with Nail’d being $50 when you can pick up Pure for $10-$15 or so.

  38. in for Disney Epic Mickey this week.

  39. hopefully, you’ll talk about Epic Mickey this week on the podcast.

  40. It’s the first JRPG from Camelot in 7 years! I’d say it’s worth looking into.

  41. I saw GS got them in, but they wouldn’t sell them to me.

  42. Not really sure what you expect. New Release lists are just a statement of facts. It is, by definition, a list of the games that have been confirmed for release during the week of November 28th…I mean, if you want our information to be different from other New Release lists, I suppose I can make some shit up…

    Hey, you know what?
    Super Metroid 2: The Metroidening. Confirmed for this week on the SNES!

    Monster Hunter HD for the PS3? Confirmed.

    Earthworm Jim 4 on XBLA?
    Confirmed. Buy it on Wednesday.

    Did that make our article any more useful and original?

  43. This thread is a tease.

  44. No picks from the guys?

  45. Yea, my bad. Thanksgiving exile.

    My pick would have been Golden Sun, because Camelot is, was and always will be one of my favorite JRPG developers. It’s a shame that they only make one every 5 years or so – I personally could do without another Mario Golf title, if it means a new Shining Force-style game from Camelot.

  46. Do they still make the Mario Golf games? I thought another dev took over.

  47. I don’t see what’s different from Camelot’s JRPGs and all the other ones who don’t seem to like all that much.

  48. Jrpgs are over man. What’s the last really good new one.

  49. I don’t disagree – JRPGs need to do something to grab my attention, and they haven’t been doing it for a while. The last JRPG that I genuinely enjoyed was Wild Arms 5 – which I always argue is a terribly underrated game, if only for the great characters and setting.
    But still, that was 3 years ago. It’s been 7 years since the last Camelot RPG, and I really enjoy those. Their tone is just different enough – we’ll see.

  50. I loved the first two Golden Sun games. I cant wait for this one.
