The problem there is that MOST of the better RPGs out there aren't the cutting edge ones. Games like your Disgea's and Suikodens didn't use complicated things. FF6... etc.

To me the Wii is fun for a couple reasons.

1) It offers a real evolution compared to the other two cosnoles. Since the PS1 games have basically been the same, there hasn't been much change. The Wii offers a lot of crazy possibilties for new genres of games.

2) The PS3 and 360 have artifical standards for graphics... and it seems like a large number of games are putting more and more of their budgets on the graphical designers, which to me... is the least important aspect of gaming.

I really wouldn't care if a game had PS1 graphics or PS3 graphics so long as it's fun. If the money could of gone to a longer and more fun game, it seems like a waste. Rather then making sure a characters hair is modeled right or texture mapping. I'd perfer that the RPG i'm playing has more length and more items.

Not that there is anything wrong with the PS3 or 360. I still plan to get both... but to me... the games that interest me on it... are basically the very few ones that are doing stuff new... or doing stuff exceptionally well. While nearly every game on the Wii is a new expierence. (that isn't a halfass port.)

Something like... borderlands and it's procedural weapons generation interests me dozens of times more then like Killzone 2.

I've played hundreds of PS1 and PS2 games. I'm lookin for that next step.

I wasn't saying I got a ps3 because of graphics if thats whats spurned your post. I'm playing through LOD (ps1) right now. It's miles away from being a graphical powerhouse. The wii didn't turn me off because of graphics. Most importantly, I needed a console that could play my old games. Thats the main reason I chose the ps3 i.e to play OLD games and some new ones.

 

Although, the Wii can, of course, play all Cube games and is constantly getting much older games made available for download. Although maybe that's beside your point . However, there is that element to be considered when analyzing the fun levels of the Wii.

 

To go further on this.  I doubt MM9 would of ever happened had it not been for the Wii.

MM9 is going to so rule.
