Japanese devs have settled for mediocrity. I haven't heard of many games that were even that good coming from them for a few years now. RPGs went from everyday releases last gen, to once every 5 months in this one. Even worse, these RPGs are being released on the 360, a system barely owned by anyone in Japan. The PS3 has what...2 JRPGs over there? I don't even know.
A whole bunch of devs are ignoring the large elephant in the room we call the Wii. The ones that have released games haven't put enough of an effort forward. You get games like Dragon Quest: Swords, small attempts made towards innovation.
Nintendo is actually sparing them in a way. They have localized (US/EU) fewer games than they have last gen. They had the PS2 to support last gen, so they should start supporting the Wii heavily now.
Maybe Marvelous can capitalise and become a big market player in the midst of all the problems.
