what's with the lack of RPG's this gen?

There are loads on the DS, PSP and (in Japan) Wii.

It's just a lot of them never get localised. For example, Xenoblade is EU only, and Earth Seeker, The Last Story, Tales Of Graces (Wii) AND Pandora's Tower are all stuck in Japan for the Wii.

JRPG's are out there. But they won't be coming to a Wii anywhere near you anytime soon, sadly.

That honestly really is sad for all the Wii owners, all those JRPG's looked pretty awesome and they aren't bringing any of them to the West.  I just don't get why Ninty would do that.

Granted they aren't exactly gonna burn up the sales charts but given how few and far between the core games have been for the Wii that would have certainly helped keep that demographic healthy.

It would have been a great way to send out the Wii, yes. But Nintendo don't want to look 'weird' in front of their demographic, sadly. And they want to be 'hardcore', but they think that's the 13 year old guys who have only ever played COD swearing down the mic every 5 minutes, the group who'll never be seen dead on Nintendo consoles, and the dudes who I don't want on Nintendo consoles...

I could swear I saw a thread about this...

I did!
