"New release" might work for CDs or books, but "New!!!" is probably the best way to go for basic goods. I'm always on the hunt for 新発売 on the candy aisle at konbini. Kit Kat has been really disappointing lately. Their new flavors are Lamune, "Sports Drink," and melon. I miss the Oreo one they sold earlier this year.

My favorite translation-tricky use of this is in the 3-character compound 新発売, which of course you see everywhere. It's incredibly tempting to overtranslate it ("Now on sale!" "Newly released!"), but less is more: it's just "new," really. Maybe with some exclamation points. "New!!!" Indeed, indeed.
