It's a wonderful Christmas for people in Japan who have the day off work. In fact, it's a pretty great Christmas on the VC for people who have the month off work. Japan gets a VC lineup this week that is wall-to-wall RPGs, including one of the rare VC appearances from Square Enix, foisting off another of the few games they don't feel like remaking for the DS, PSP, PS2, or cell phones.

Also appearing this week is Langrisser II, the second in Masaya's strategy-RPG series to appear on the VC, and Nihon Falcom's Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes, part of a big old series that never saw much action outside of Japan. The weather outside is frightful, but the level grinding is so delightful!
