Xenoblade (October), DQX is pretty much certain, and TLS as well. Pandora's Tower...we shall see. Earth Seeker is unlikely, sadly.

Regarding Earth Seeker: If you're interested in playing it head on over to XSEED's forums. They have a discussion there specifically for suggestions from fans, and there is already a thread about ES. The mod on the thread already said XSEED have their eye on that game. The way I see it, the more support they get, the better the chances of them bringing it over.

I signed up on their forums the other day specifically to tell them I'd be interested in seeing the game come to the west. You should do the same, as well as anybody else who's interested.

 



Sounds cool. I may have to give it a try...

Do you have a link at all?

sure, here you go:

Cool, thanks! 

I'll have to have a look at that later. Not having good games is a crime.

Aside from the same team, no. But it's just as good apparantly, and undoubtedly the best JRPG on consoles this gen. Not that there's much competition...

 

 


I really do hate comments like this for Xenoblade and sometimes TLS because it really margianilizes the games already out and makes assumptions about the quality of Xenoblade without any first person experience.  I know you haven't played the game and I'm doubtful you've played it's big competitors for the title of best JRPG on console like Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Valkyria Chronicles, and Demon's Souls.  With that in mind it's just rediculous for you to call something "undoubtedly the best JRPG on consoles this gen".  I have my doubts.

Just think about it. Why announce new games when E3 is just around the corner? My above post has a proverbial launch line-up. I wouldn't be surprised if that does indeed occur.

The Wii will have more surprises. It still has the big 5 JRPG's to come over here (DQX, Xenoblade, TLS, ToG and Pandora's Tower), and plenty other Japan-only games ATM, and who knows what from Retro and other developers. Wait for E3, then we'll talk again.

I've always wanted to play a JRPG on the Wii. JRPG's motion controls = a dream come true.

I'm glad you agree. If you lived in Japan, you'd have plenty to choose from...

But I wouldn't get your hopes up for most of those games, especially ToG. Although I think it's a good idea releasing ToG on the Wii, if they release it on both PS3 and the Wii and the PS3 has extra content, not many people would buy the Wii version. And if the Wii version gets the extra content then the ToG Wii owners in Japan will complain.

Why not just add the extra content to the Wii? It's already there in code. If they're translating one version, as they are, I don't see it being difficult to port it over to the other console. Althoguh, it's wishful thinking. But I've been shocked by Nintendo before...

Does Xenoblade have any relation to Xenogears?

Aside from the same team, no. But it's just as good apparantly, and undoubtedly the best JRPG on consoles this gen. Not that there's much competition...

And are any of those games confirmed to be released in the West? I might pick them up.

Xenoblade (October), DQX is pretty much certain, and TLS as well. Pandora's Tower...we shall see. Earth Seeker is unlikely, sadly.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is, if Nintendo didn't have many Wii games in E3 2010, why would they have any more in E3 2011 when all the focus has shifted to "Project Cafe"? And the guy being interviewed seemed to change subject pretty quickly after mentioning that the "Wii has more surprises" because he probably doesn't feel confident enough to make false promises. It just seems like typical PR to me.

Have you heard of Goldeneye, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Wii Party, Donkey Kony Country Returns and  Skyward Sword? All revealed at E3. Apparantly not...

I get your point, but you must remember, this guy probably has no clue what he's talking about. He's not a big wheel for Nintendo. He's just giving us hope, it's a polite way of saying 'wait for E3'. Only a fool would write Nintendo off. 

"I'm glad you agree. If you lived in Japan, you'd have plenty to choose from..."

I know, I'm sick to death of Western games.

"Why not just add the extra content to the Wii? It's already there in code. If they're translating one version, as they are, I don't see it being difficult to port it over to the other console. Althoguh, it's wishful thinking. But I've been shocked by Nintendo before..."

Disc storage could be one issue, even if the content was added, then Japanese Wii owners would cry out for that content aswell. If the PS3 version is going to sell better than the Wii version, then maybe Namco Bandai won't bother. I think it would be a good move either way.

"Have you heard of Goldeneye, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Wii Party, Donkey Kony Country Returns and  Skyward Sword? All revealed at E3. Apparantly not..."

Maybe Nintendo's 2010 E3 wasn't as bad as I remember. Still, I'm not interested in all of those games, and there was still more that the PS3 / XBOX 360 offered me that I was interested in. The future of the Wii isn't looking bright, neither are the sales. If Project Cafe is unveiled at E3, then I highly doubt they would be backing the Wii anymore, it just seems like false promises to me.

LordTheNightKnight is right though...Wait for E3.

Problem is I CAN'T wait for E3, it is going to be so epic.



Yeah, it really worries me when he there's there's plenty of surprises for Wii in 2012.  Not an encouraging sign.

Wii is really starting to feel like the GC at the end of it's life.   Noooo games except for an ever delayed Zelda:TP as all focus went to the Wii.   When the Wii came out, lo and behold a lot of GC games (DK:BB, FE:RD, BW2, MSC, SPM, etc.) that were held off for Wii's launch.

At any rate, if they just give us the Japanese goodness (TLS, Xeno, PTower, Kirby) I'll be happy.

Well with Cafe launching next year I suspect Nintendo will be in a rush to launch their remaining titles that have been in development. This E3 will confirm whether or not Pikmin3 will ever come and VitalitySensor. I bet Nintendo will announce 2-3 new games for Wii launching this fall/winter. But I still think the bulk of Nintendo's announced software will be on Cafe and 3DS.

I of course am looking forward to seeing what games I can buy this winter. I would love some more strong Nintendo properties though I think Cafe will steal alot of Wii's thunder. Hopefully this indicates Nintendo won't abandon Wii the year before Cafe like they abandoned GameCube in 2005/06!


It's like you read my mind and posted. But you forgot to add this:

I bet Pandora's Tower, Skyward Sword, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pikmin 3 and maybe one more suprise will be all that's left from the 1st party hardcore side of the wii and all of them will be released before Cafe launches. The Grinder and like 2 other third party hardcore titles and we're done! If I'm right, then I'll actually be happy with the wii's final library................already accepted a long time ago that this generation, at least for me, it's compulsory to have a wii and a HD console.

Nintendo did say they wanted their consoles to be 'and' consoles, not 'or' consoles!

He claims there are more surprises for the Wii and then goes on to talk a load of shit. He could only mention one good game. I'm sorry, but sequels to poor party games like Wii Play and a Wii bundled with Mario Kart is not a "surprise".


Your opinion of what games are worthile is only valid if he was talking only to you instea of other people. Plus he wasn't claiming those were the surprises.

Well I didn't expect him to just say what these surprises are, that would defeat the whole point of it being a surprise. But he didn't elaborate on it, he just changed the subject onto the only big title left for the Wii, Zelda, and then started talking about Mario Kart bundles as if they were something special.

He said "there are plenty more surprises in store for [Wii]" but failed to give enough detail, probably because he knows that there really aren't any more "surprises" for the Wii and all their attention will be moved to Project Cafe.

EDIT: And I know it is a matter of opinion when it comes to casual games, but I highly doubt casual gamers would be reading that article right now.

Just think about it. Why announce new games when E3 is just around the corner? My above post has a proverbial launch line-up. I wouldn't be surprised if that does indeed occur.

The Wii will have more surprises. It still has the big 5 JRPG's to come over here (DQX, Xenoblade, TLS, ToG and Pandora's Tower), and plenty other Japan-only games ATM, and who knows what from Retro and other developers. Wait for E3, then we'll talk again.

That's what deluded people have been saying since 2008. Wait for E3, then when nothing comes at E3, they say "wait for E3 next year before attacking Nintendo!!11!". I mean, time to stop using that excuse. Next thing you know people will be saying wait for E3 2012 and let's see if Nintendo dropped the ball on the Wii or not (They clearly did already)

Also, I don't think Cafe is 15 months away, No way it's releasing next October, impossible. Otherwise they wouldn't be showing it at this E3, they would have waited until next one. Cafe is releasing in Q2 2012 at the LATEST and before E3 2012. And Nintendo will focus on Cafe more than anything during this E3, Wii and DS will get the least time. No need to become overly positive and try to spread that among people. You will end up disappointing them because you know that what you predict will not happen. Expecting ToG, Pandora, Xenoblade, TLS and DQX at this E3 is just dumb, seriously. We'll be lucky to get a Xeno confirmation for the USA. ToG is never happening, TLS and DQX are both next year if ever, and then Pandora's will probably never happen either. Hell even Xenoblade may not happen in the USA (where E3 is located).

It's easier to admit that Nintendo has already abandoned the Wii for the most part and that what's coming is whatever they had left. I'm sure they will not produce anymore games for it, all that's coming was coming before they decided to announce Cafe.

Now that I think of it, the games that would make me happiest as a Wii owner would be Pilot Wings Wii (not a port of resort but rather something with more content) and Pikmin 3. If these two are the only unannounced games coming to the platform, in addition to everything else we do know about (including Japanese release) I'd be content. In fact, I'd prefer those two to a new StarFox and F Zero at this point.
