March is done and what a month it has been for new releases! It'd be nice to say that April is going to slow down a bit, but we all know better than that, haha. April is when we see some Final Fantasy releases, more limited titles, and I'm sure a surprise or two. So what's coming out this week, where can you buy these, and what else do you need to know? Read on and happy collecting!
Sunday, March 31st
1. Raging Justice from Strictly Limited Games

Game

Button Set
Bar Towel
Tuesday, April 2nd
2. Darksiders Warmastered Edition ($29.99) - Amazon link
Want to hear something interesting? THQ Nordiq's release has a misprint that has already shipped to stores. As you can see from the image below, the spine is black and not the Nintendo red. As of now, the game has not been recalled and no official statement has been made as to whether this will get corrected. My advice? Get this! It will definitely be a collectible in the future and just a fun conversation piece.
