Year: 1982
this game owned everything in ‘82

Lupin the 3rd: Greatest Battle of Wits (approximate translation) screenshot. It takes a lot to get me to pay attention to a licensed anime game that won’t ever come out here, but this one screenshot did the trick.
I can’t think of many side-scrolling stealth games — and I don’t really dig on stealth games anyway unless they’re called Metal Gear — but the art and the easily understandable stealth mechanics on display here make this one look like a winner.
Apparently it also contains other missions, targeted at testing your intelligence. Dengeki says there will be some kind of demo tomorrow — hopefully it’s a web demo and not a downloadable DS one.

Phantasy Star Zero wallpaper (click for full-size), unlocked on the Japanese website by entering one of the item download codes. There might be more than this one, but all the codes I tried resulted in the same one.
While I was looking up codes — and now that I’m far enough in the game to use them — I went ahead and entered a bunch of codes in the game. So far, the weapons I’ve used the most are a giant Mario warp pipe cannon and an issue of Dengeki DS.
Buy: Phantasy Star Zero ($33.99)
