Im not hating it was my opinion, and no, Wii has NOTHING i'd like to play in future titles, well maybe Monster Hunter 3 since im gonna try the Original MH for PSP soon, but other then that EVEYTHING worth playing to me is on the HD consoles Exclusively, Final Fantasy Versus XIII along with regular, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, LO, IU, White Knight & Valkyria Chronicles, Folklore, Etc Etc...

And thats just the JRPG's, FPS games aswel as 3rd person shooters would not be natural if not on the HD consoles.

 

If you're a JRPG fan a Wii will become a must very soon. You may not like Wii, Nintendo or whatever, but not owning a Wii will restrict you in playing Japanese games and especially JRPGs.  I've posted some above and these were all anounced before the DQX announcement. DQX + MH3 will ensure a dominance of Wii in J-gaming for sure. In Japan Wii's console lead is biggest and developers will follow those titles.

Wii will never become the #1 system for Western games, but I expect nearly all Japanese games to go to Wii.

 

Good points Benga, but even if this does end up being the result in 2009, i still wont go Wii since for the very simple fact its not HD the Xbox 360 and PS3 are HD and in my case its as simple as that.

But when it comes to handhelds like the PSP and DS dont use this against me, since there "HANDHELDS" they have an excuse not having HD style graphics, the Wii has NO excuse this gen its just not right IMO.

Sorry but no matter what 3rd party support Wii gets from Japan, i'll just wait for a PSP or DS port since its quite easy to do.

And to be honest, i dont see it happen'n at all, Sony may stand by on the sidelines, but Microsoft will NOT allow Nintendo to get ALL the exclusives.

 

I respect your opinion, however I really want to know whether you can still enjoy those masterful SNES, PS1 and PS2 games? Those are not HD, yet there are a lot of masterpieces that (definitely as far as JRPGs go) outclass anything that has been made this generation.

Muramasa alone looks like a gem that every JRPG fan would want to play. Kizuna looks very promising as well. I never understood the importance of HD, despite gaming on a 1080p HDTV, and of my current gen systems DS is my most played, followed by 360 and Wii (equal), so my gaming is done on various graphical levels. For me a good game is a good game and output resolution really is by far the least of my needs.

480p or 720p is exactly 240vertical lines less. If that is more important to you than story/artstyle/gameplay etc, that's fine. I enjoy games for completely different reasons then.

The only game you could eventually expect to be ported to PSP is MH3. Other than that these games are exclusive. Look in the history and you'll see that ports for J-games aren't frequent at all.

You really shouldn't expect Microsoft to try and take away exclusives from Nintendo. They're cutting jobs and closing studio's. They really only wanted to counter Sony and the FFXIII deal is a big part in that. They won't get Dragon Quest and it's clear that they won't have a business reason for buying a game like Tales or Arc Rise.
