With the big partnership between Nintendo and Sega, and Camelot now a Nintendo First Party Studio, I really have no idea why they aren't making a new Shining Force and making the Wii U Bolivar's preferred next-gen console...

I don't know about big long running series, mostly because I don't venture too far out from the mainstays, but I also like a lot of RPG series that are new (Valkyria Chronicles) or were never long running (Ogre Battle Saga). Honestly, I kind of feel like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest have been missing, with the former struggling to put out a current generation title and the latter having a handheld and an MMO as its last two entries. Honeslty I'm a little shy to check out a lot of newer RPGs since I'm really turned off by the anime style that so many games try to emulate. JRPGs were great because they invented their own aesthetics. Again, Nintendo has some great first party studios, I'd like to see their interpretation of HD JRPGs.
