Gamasutra's round-up of worldwide video game releases, "Release This!", takes a look at every game title we know to be shipping to stores the week ending July 22nd, with titles like NCAA Football 07, Super Dragon Ball Z, and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth all competing for consumer dollars in the U.S. This extract discusses the key U.S. releases debuting this week: "NCAA Football 07 and Super Dragon Ball Z headline the week as probable top sellers, and RPG fans will soon have a pair of new role-playing titles to enjoy. Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light is the latest strategy-oriented title from developer Nippon Ichi Software, who first gained the attention of RPG fans in the United States with the 2003 release of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is a PSP remake of Valkyrie Profile, which debuted in the United States in 2000 for the Sony PlayStation. The original release has since become a difficult find, with copies routinely fetching more than $100 in online auctions. Lenneth will soon be followed by its sequel, Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, which is scheduled for release in the United States in September."
