The Konami one could be something. Depends on the franchise, and who is involved.

Same goes for the Koei one, for that matter.

Everything actually announced is uninteresting to me, though.

Pfft. Zelda is SO not an RPG.

Anyway, the list isn't exactly spectacular, but there are still a few games on that list I want. =)

Exactly what I was thinking

I was wondering this as well =O I love the Tales series, I really hope that's what it is.

Edit: Although Legendia is not the one I would choose to spin-off, if that is indeed the case. :O_O:

Yeah, really. But hey, there's still some story to be told there. Even if it is annoying.

I do plan on getting some of those games. FE10 and Twilight Princess catch my interest the most, though.

Also, how is Legend of Zelda an RPG?

If you want to get into technicalities, any game where you control a character can be called a 'Role Playing Game'.

I think I may be the only person in the world looking forward to the next FF:CC game. =O

I'm looking forward to it too. With online play (which is very likely) that just opens up the possibilities immensely. And with this 'Mii' system, perhaps you can create your own avatar in CCWii and take that around with you as well, eliminating the somewhat frustrating process of migrating characters from memory cards whenever you went to a friend's house. The potential is there.

Isn't online play more than just likely, but confirmed long ago?

FFCC online and with the Wii controller will be awesome, just imagine pointing to aim your magic and powered up weapons, it'll work great!

Nintendo is going to be a force to be reckoned with. I think they are really in the right ball park this time around.

Taking bets. Who things the new CC game will have some sort of reward that is the original FF via download?
