| Pristine20 said: I'm an RPG fan mostly, huge on SRPGs (a very niche genre), JRPGs and WRPGs. What exactly has nintendo done to influence my interests? Save for the fire emblem games, nothing they have done since SNES has made me think...man, I'd like to play that. |
What about Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Glory of Heracles, Magical Starsign, Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower ? And the upcoming "X" and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem ?
Also, have you considered the many 3rd party RPGs they supported by publishing/localizing ? (Dragon Quest, Baten Kaitos Origins, Bravely Default, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Children of Mana, etc)
None of these interest you ? Seriously, Nintendo has done a lot for the JRPG genre in the past gen...
(I could also add Japanese-only releases like Soma Bringer, ASH, or Zangeki no Reginleiv, but I'm guessing you won't count them here...)

Source ? I've never heard of that, and I find it hard to believe. It just doesn't make any sense... I played (partially) the original PC version at its time and I'm pretty sure it was a port. I even remember seeing an Eidos logo in the start of the game (they published the game on PC).
