@windbane Folklore is an Action-Adventure. As for the future Wii rpgs. Oh and looking at the average FFF:CD is more above average than decent.

FFCC,Monster Hunter, Tales of (2 titles btw), Rune Factory, and Oboro Muramasa Youtouden are all proving series. They and the rest of the games are also from proven developers. So I don't see your point.

 

I'm glad I'm not so picky on what genre a game is, or what country it comes from. If you talk games that people consider "RPG," the advantage is clear. Chocobo's dungeon isn't a "JRPG" either, considering most of those feature plots.

As of now, it's a wash.

Monster Hunter was a hit...on a handheld. Another RPG that didn't translate to console? Pokemon.

Rune Factory is a DS game. No one is arguing that system lacks RPGs.

Oboro Muramasa Youtouden has a decent track record with Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire, both around 80%.

 

Regardless, those are all future titles, so we'll see how they end up. As someone that has both consoles, I don't expect high profile RPGs going to Wii.

 

If an RPG has to have a story or a good one then I guess anything pre-snes isn't any rpg.

As for monster hunter, I heard that the PS2 games are great aswell so we know that MH3 could be good, and seeing as the series started on home consoles unlike pokemon it has a good chance.

Rune Factory Fronteir is coming to the wii.

What is your defition of "High Profile"?

Edit: Also we have been seeing a steady rise in Wii Jrpg support while we have been seeing a decline in that of the PS3 Jrpg support. I expect big Jrpgs from sony though.

 

 

A lot of RPGs had stories before SNES...huh? What RPG do you know of doesn't have a story? We clearly have different views on what we are discussing, heh.

High profile to me means pushing a combination of visuals, sound, story, gameplay, and eveyrthing else associated with videogames.  The Wii has no innate advantage for RPGs, so I'd rather them not even be there.

I'll still play games such as My Life as a King and others, though, but that one is because I'm a sucker for FF.  At least it's an interesting concept (if not exactly an RPG to get off-topic).
