RPGs on the Wii
Do you think Nintendo will have more RPGs on their system in this console generation? Because right now there's only one RPG on the Wii and that's Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn is in development and scheduled for release in Q2 according to Wikipedia but that's the only upcoming RPG I know of.
Briefly discussed here.
Nintendo is going to get plenty of RPGs on their system... from Dragon Quest, to FF:CC, Fire Emblem... Probably many many more, considering their amazing success so far

I can't wait to play a Tales of game on the WII!
I can't click that link that Dr. Aum posted, but I do know that Camelot--the folks behind Golden Sun--are working on an RPG for the Wii. Square-Enix is bound to have more on the way other than spinoffs of their 2 main series, look out for some new properties to come from them eventually.
None of those games are really 'must buy' titles, at least for me(I'll see how Sword of Legendia turns out.) I'm sure more of them will be announced soon though.
Edit: I don't consider Zelda an RPG. Just wanted to say that before everyone attacks me for not saying it's a must buy game.
I hope Suikoden VI comes out on the Wii.
Wii RPGs in development
Fire Emblem
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles:Crystal Bearers
Sword of Legendia
Dragon Quest Swords:The Masked Queen
Pokemon Battle Revolution
Super Paper Mario(Though this game looks more like a platformer than an RPG)
Harvest Moon
And other companies have announced RPGs, but they haven't given details or the name of their games
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

RPG's on the Wii will suck because the developers would feel the need to incorporate Wii functions in absolutely everything. Hell, most of the RPG's announced are just spin-off's which developers are only making because of the controller, once these mediocre titles are out, maybe then they can concentrate on "proper" RPG's.
DQ Swords and Pokemon Battle Revolution will rock. There's also supposed to be some 'breed a creature' type game for the Wii that's not Pokemon where you capture and raise monsters.
I must admit, I doubt there will be many good RPGs for the Wii for a while, unless they come up with some nice substitute for the regular control scheme in RPGs that has absolutely NOTHING to do with aiming at specific commands.
I'd love to aim at specific commands. :P
Saying RPGs on the Wii will suck, is like saying RPGs on the DS suck. I'm sorry but there are great RPGs on the DS, and there will be great ones on the Wii. I'm sure there will be some RPGs where you point and click at commands, but it won't be required, like with the DS FFIII, you can use the touch screen for the entire game, but don't have to... I know I don't. Plus I think an action RPG, like a Tales game would be great. Nunchuck style, left hand moves, right hand swing to attack. Up for upward attack, straight forward for stab, horizontal, and vertical swings. Then mix and match for combos, maybe hold down A then a direction swing for the special moves. It'd work great.

Its not the actual gameplay, but everything else thats the problem. Developers dont give a toss about anything but the stupid controller. And all you could really use it for is an action RPG. And that would still only consist of swinging the nunchuck one way to another. Any other take on the RPG genre wouldnt work, as you said, in FFIII you dont even bother to use the stylus. This is going to apply with alot of Wii games, and whats the point of putting any game on the Wii, if the controller isnt going to be used properly, especially when it could of been done better on the other two consoles.Originally Posted by ljkkjlcm9
I await a game to prove me wrong, but at the moment, that RPG list is trash, its all spin-off's off a popular series. No new original series's on there.
So what if it's a spin-off? As long as the game is fun who cares?
