| naznatips said: 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. |
I played CC for a little while, I wasn't impressed. Of course, perhaps it's worth a retry these days. Separate what it is from what I remember it to be and all that.
Monster Hunter 3 will be a mixed bag I think. Oboro reminds me of RBO. Perhaps there needs to be a division in types of RPGs. Any game with a story and a hero could be an RPG by the loosest definition after all.
I love RPGs so I want to be excited about the Wii's RPG list, but the problem is that there are no new titles that are really grabbing my attention yet. Sword of Legendia (NAMCO) may have the best chance at it but we'll see.
