Didn't purchase anything new gamewise this week, but since this thread seems to doubling as a "What have you been playing" here's my current entertainment:
Ys: Oath in Felghana- Quite possibly the most badass game I've played all year. Amazing music, difficult bosses, and a kickass combat system. It's a crying shame that this will probably never get released overseas. Here's some gameplay footage:

Gargoyle's Quest series- Been wanting to play through these again since it's been ages. I finished the original Gameboy version the other day and it still plays pretty well and for a GB game. The visuals hold up better than most from the system and the music is still weirdly great to listen to. I found the game far easier and shorter than what I remembered.
Shining Soul- I don't know why I keep playing this as it's basically a shitty, Japanese version of Diablo that unfortunately carries the "Shining" logo. It's slow, shallow, and has an annoyingly repetitive soundtrack, yet I find myself wanting to go back and strengthen my character. I must hate myself.
