Forums - Nintendo Discussion - RPGs on the Wii U

RPGs are arguably the least represented genre on the Wii U. As of right now, the only well-known RPGs for the console seem to be Mass Effect 3, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Child of Light, which are all great games in their own right, but there should be more.

With Xenoblade Chronicles X coming this year, arguably being the largest RPG the Wii U will ever see, I feel that this is appropriate to talk about. Where are the RPGs? We have a vague idea of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, which would be a wonderful addition to mature the genre on the platform, but we haven't heard much about it since E3. Paper Mario will more than likely come at some point, given it's never skipped a home console. But what else is left?

It was rumored a while back that the Wii U could see a sequel to The Last Story, given that the developer showed interest in it, which would be a lovely surprise. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is also a possibility considering Capcom's satisfaction with 3U's sales on the Wii U.

Do you want to see more RPGs on the Wii U, and if so, which games do you think are likely to come, OR which games do you think are unlikely but you'd love to see anyways?

Edit: Of course there are also other eShop RPGs such as Pier Solar, Unepic and the upcoming Citizens of Earth, in addition to the VC catalogue.

I believe a Fire Emblem can happen.

Also, i think SMT x FE could be fighter.



They released Dragon Quest X in Japan but unfortunately I don't think they will ever localize it over there since they did not even localize DQ7 on 3DS.



The WiiU will get a Paper Mario for sure. Maybe they will make a Fire Emblem (a main series not spin-off, they have to profit from the popularity of the franchise), the Xenosaga remaster, a Pokemon game Colisseum-like...



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Xenosaga hd on Wii U which could sell well based on hype for Xenoblade X, which would hopefully bring the walls crashing down that separates Square-Enix and Monolith Soft to get a full fledged Gears remake. Lets make this a reality guys!



I would buy a Wii U sequel to The Last Story day 1. Such an awesome game.
Sadly, Mistwalker only seems interested in making iOS games these days.

But by far my most desired would be a ground-up Monster Hunter 5 for Wii U. I know it'll never happen, but hey, I can dream, can't I?



Dont know many, but here are some have been keeping an eye:
Soul Saga
Festival of Magic
Wonder flick
Anima: Gate of Memories
Forced

 



Well, there are always the Wii RPG which fill some gaps. Also, UnEpic at the eShop

Buy yeah, high profile RPGs are still amiss on the console. But I think this will change soon (apart from Xenoblade, expecting at least a Paper Mario and a Fire Emblem Title getting announced soon)



Monster Hunter is as much of an RPG as Zelda is and that's not an RPG.  Just throwing that out there.
