Super Paper Mario (Eh... sorta RPG)
Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon
Monolith RPG (rumor from this topic)

I discount FFs typically. Crystal Chronicles needs to prove its worth which it failed to do in the GC era.

Monster Hunter 3 isn't a big name over here. King's Story looks lame.

Oboro looks more action/platformer than RPG based on the last screen shots I saw. Fire Emblem is a strategy/RPG, it feels out of place in this list.

Opoona is its own beast definitely. Sword of Legendia and Monster Lab have had no press; whether they're quality support or not is debatable at this point.

Mysterious Dungeon looks good, I hope it hits America...

Super Paper Mario moves pretty far from RPG standards; enough so to be considered its own genre.


Only a few of these actually look promising sadly.

Did you not play CC on the GC? Because it was actually an enjoyable game. The new ones look much better, and each one has some really interesting and unique gameplay ideas. tYPatPL actually looks like it's meant to be a modern day reincarnation of Actraiser with online co-op. Which is nothing short of awesome.

Monster Hunter 3 not being a big name does not make it a bad game. The PS2 games are both solid RPGs. Even if they are insanely difficult. King's Story looks lame? You sir have no soul! Come on, cutesy art doesn't make it a bad game. If that were true no one would have ever played Katamari. It's being made by some incredible developers and the basis of the game is brilliant.

Oboro, like Odin Sphere (don't know if you played this or not) is an Action RPG. I agree it's as much action as RPG, but I'm not just listing turn based games here... Same with Fire Emblem. It's a type of RPG.

I agree we don't know much about Monster Lab and Sword of Legendia yet, but Monster Lab at least has an interestingn premise and the screenshots have an interesting art style. As choirs said it's still too early for these games to have much buzz.

Obviously not all games are good, but considering 3rd party opinions of the Wii it's not looking too shabby. Certainly the best early RPG list on a Nintendo system since the SNES.

Oh I forgot, Skies of Arcadia sequel is being made by Sega and latest rumors say it's on the Wii.
