Looking forward to buy Sly one day. Currently busy with so many games that I can't finish.

Last time I checked Mario and Pokemon has potenital of selling 20m+ and they have plenty of other games in the genre that does much more than both ni No kuni and Sly. Now im going to leave this thread. |
This.
And shame on you because you had the chance to make a thread like this one about Dragon's Crown which is a Sony exclusive too and you didn't.
| oniyide said: Turkish, you should have said on Sony consoles, but even then you would be dead wrong. As there have been JRPGs coming for a while. And we've been getting platformers all gen long on PS3, its called PSN look it up. Now if you are talking straight 3d platformers then yeah. ANd no Ninty, fans, one or two Jrpgs or 3d platformers doesnt mean that Ninty ruled those genres, please. There are probably as much JRPGS released on Wii as there were on PS3, probably less. |
Sly Thieves in Time looks like it came out of the PS2 era, there are no 3D platformers like it nowadays. I don't count Mario because I mostly played platformers on the PS1/PS2 and it reminded me of the good ole times when the trio Naughty Dog/Insomniac/Suckerpunch were making nothing but fun platformers.


If Nintendo consoles would have been THE home of JRPG, then I would have bought them, which I didn't.
I think that both Nintendo and Sony, in their respective consoles and handhelds, are strong hosts to the genere, it just depends what kind of JRPGs you love. Then, there's the lack of translated editions for the western market, who further gives an untrue overview of the market.
For example, I went for the PSP, instead, and got Last Ranker, Senritsu no Stratus, Final Fantasy Type 0, the remake of Persona 3, Fate/Extra, two Valyria Chronicles, Y's Seven, and many others... Each one of them appeals to me much more than any Dragon Quest or Pokemon. And it's of no interest to me if, thanks to underage consumers, Pokemon sells millions while Last Ranker sells a little over one hundred thousands; I care for JPRGs that are fun to play for me, and those run mostly on Sony systems. And yet, for non Japanese speakers, most of those games are, basically, non-existent, as they were never translated, and never will.
But please, don't say that Nintendo is the environment where JRPGs thrived, because this is a very imprecise and uninformed statement.

Look where I posted this thread? Its not in the Nintendo forums so go make your own thread about Mario and Pokemon, I don't care about those games, none of those games take me back to a time when I was playing for example Chrono Cross or Jak&Daxter a decade ago.


To any Nintendo fan that got his feelings hurt: I'm sorry but Xenoblade is not a game that brings me back to my childhood. Just because Nintendo makes 3D platformers every few years doesn't mean the genre hasn't been neglected. They have been neglected by multiplatform devs. I'm talking about a time when everyone was making those games, when they were popular. Nintendo does nothing but make platformers out of Mario. Furthermore I got my JRPG and 3D platforming fix on older Sony platforms, these 2 recent games remind me of their glorious past!
NinoKuni and Sly Thieves in Time are very traditional and true to their roots, the type of games you played from older times!
Joe Hisaishi is the man
Sly animated short
So funny! Carmelita is hawt!


Did someone really put up a list of average even below average JRPG's? Except Tales of series of course.

Yeah I understand that. But thanks to your somewhat usual habbit of misleading readers with your title. You're implying that the genre is GENERALLY neglected. But when in truth, you just dont care about Mario and Pokemon thus turning a blind eye and motivating you to make this thread.
In response to a possible reply: Your title also implies that only the Ps3 exclusives (that you mentioned in the OP) that finally revives the neglected genres.
Yay!!!

If the answer is no then how does NinoKuni as you never played it in your child hood and just like Xenoblade is a new IP. If anything Xenoblade should bring you back to your child hood more sense its related to Xenogears/Xenosaga in a way |
What a waste of words, time, energy and VGC server memory. If you know what I mean.
Yay!!!

Mario and Pokemon have ALWAYS been there. Like I said: just because Nintendo keep on making them doesn't mean the genres haven't been neglected.
