I personally expect WiiU to be an even better system than the Wii, not only in terms of graphical power, but in terms of software libraries, particularly in the JPRG department. That was one area that was particularly lacking on the first Wii. Sure, we had some solid titles like Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Arc Rise Fantasia, and experimental ones like Fragile Dreams, Little King's Story, Rune Factory Frontier and Sakura Wars (technically a port, but still pretty damn fun--I'm having a blast with it so far), but there have been others which either weren't particularly good (Dragon Quest Swords). And with the recent uncertainty of any U.S. localizations of Xenoblade or The Last Story, it seems like the situation for Wii being a JRPG system is too late to shift. Even if both titles DO get here eventually (and I still --vaguely-- hope they do), it simply won't be enough to make Wii a system for RPGs in the same way that SNES, or both PlayStations were.
WiiU should do a much better job of snatching RPGs and of bringing them stateside instead of select titles.
