re: Wii & RPG titles:

In terms of RPGs, the Wii is easily the weakest platform. The 360/PS3 have more and better RPGs - not to mention bigger budget RPGs. The DS kicks its butt. And the PS2... well, better not mention that.

On top of that, the Wiimote just isn't designed for RPGs - at all. Maybe it could be - but not traditional RPGs, no way. Action games... Sports games... but not RPGs.

Heck, it hasn't even got a SINGLE decent RPG from Nintendo: Golden Sun, Paper Mario (Super Paper does NOT count), Pokemon, Mario RPG, ...

In fact - I have pretty good collections for both the Wii & DS. I don't have a SINGLE Wii RPG (no, Zelda doesn't count). On the DS, I have 8...

Just about says it all. RPGs may *never* take off on the Wii, just like fighting games won't.

Although over twice as many copies of fighting games have sold on Wii as PS3 and Xbox 360 combined.  If fighting games don't sell on Wii, then they don't sell on any system.

Personally, I really enjoyed Super Paper Mario and the WW Final Fantasy game.
