Nintendo
Has anybody here noticed that ever since they went their separate ways back in the mid 90's Nintendo hasn't had a good a RPG series? I think they tried to replace Final Fantasy with Paper Mario...I like the Paper Mario games they're fun to play but they're too silly and cartoonish to be taken seriously as RPGs. Meaning a lot of people going to call the Paper Mario series a joke and they won't consider those games as RPGs because there's no dramatic storylines or character death.

Nintendo's RPG scene is less than healthy. Aside from Skies of Arcadia, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Tales of Symphonia, and (to a lesser extent) Baten Kaitos, there's really nothing all that jaw-dropping.
By the way, Paper Mario 2 is better than 90% of the RPGs out thisseasongeneration (or... last generation. Whatever). The fact that the story is almost non-existant is a testament to how great the gameplay is. It's an RPG with a bad story, and it's still great to play.

Nintendo has struggled with third party support since the N64 days, and it's true they haven't had many good RPGs, but there have been a few shining stars, like Paper Mario. I think most people buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games--at least, I do. As long as there's Zelda, I don't really care about anything else, though that's not to say there aren't other Nintendo games I enjoy.
I was referring only to the Game Cube in my post. The DS/GBA seems to be a bit healthier, with some nice 2-D RPGs like Golden Sun and Mario and Luigi. Don't forget that Final Fantasy III is coming out for DS, too!
Yeah, the cube really need a few more RPGs :(.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
There are two RPGs that are going to be released on the GameCube soon Super Paper Mario and Baten Kaitos : Origins. The reason why I brought this issue up is because as of right now there are only three RPGs in the works for the Nintendo Wii Camelot RPG, Marvel : Ultimate Alliance, and an untitled RPG from Namco. Other RPGs might be released someday after the Nintendo Wii's launch but I doubt it.*Sigh*

Well, none of those are confirmed to be launch games, but why do you think that will be the end of RPGs for the Wii?
By the way, the new Paper Mario is a platformer.
It has just occured to me that I don't own any games for a Nintendo console that aren't Nintendo exclusive.
EDIT: Aside from what you've said, according to GameSpot, you've forgotten about Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (that was a mouthful), Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (What's with all the lengthy titles!?), and a working title for Fire Emblem.Originally Posted by John_912

Well like Azar said Nintendo has been struggling with third party support since the Nintendo 64 so odds are they will probaby have a hard time getting developers to make RPGs for them. I know the games I mentioned are not confirmed for launch but when those games do come out they will probaby be the only RPGs available for the Nintendo Wii...I could be wrong though only time will tell. By the way I heard Super Paper Mario will have RPG elements.
Nintendo seems to be doing things really differently this time. Many people believe that it will outsell the PS3 and Xbox 360. I don't think they'll have as much trouble finding 3rd party support this time around.
I don't think this will happen but what I'd like to see is Bioware developing a RPG for the Nintendo Wii, that would be AWESOME!!!Because Bioware creates great RPGs they developed Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire those two games are both critically acclaimed RPG titles. But odds are Bioware is too busy developing RPGs for the XBox 360.*Sigh*
Whoa! 'Camelot RPG' on the Wii!? GOLDEN SUN!? /geekout
As roto mentioned, there are tons of RPGs on their handheld systems. The GC did have quite a few RPGs, but only very few high profile ones and even fewer exclusives. Did anyone else play Lost Kingdoms?
More and more games are having 'RPG elements' now, so there are some alternatives to a 'straight' RPG
I did, but I didn't think it was that good.
