Wikipedia has it labled as an Action/Adventure

Well I would go off ign more, and square enix usually always makes rpgs, but I guess we will wait and see if its an ARPG, or Action Adventure. There usually isn't too much of a difference, and many think the genres are interchangable.

True. I always thought Zelda was an RPG until like 2 years ago. I really wasnt into gaming as much.

I dont think they would make an RPG out of the anime though. But who knows.

Do you like Soul Eater by the way? The animes amazing so glad theyre making a Wii game for it. Even though it wont be localized.

Oh just found out a Soul Eater DS game too if you care.

Well Im talking about RPGs you know roam around fight and stuff.
Not the tile turn-based gameplay.

ALl those rpgs I mentioned are roam around and fight.  ARPGs have that even more than traditional turn based ones. I was just wondering why FFCC was crossed out.

 

Not Fire Emblem. What do you mean by ARPG?

Oh and my bad about FFCC. I got it confused with My Life as A King

 

Action Rpg. I was talking about my list. Also little king story is a simulation rpg, but you move around like you said.

 

Exactly little kings story isnt a full RPG. When I say RPG I mean Eternal Sonata and Tales game sutff like that.

 

Well in that case we should compare the number of Jrpgs the 360 has or will have, and the number of Jrpgs the wii will have or already has.

Dungeon Explorer

Tales of Vespiria

Infinite Undiscovery

Star Ocean 4

Eternal Sonata (timed exclusive)

Spectral Force 3

Lost Oddysey

Blue Dragon

Blue Dragon 2

Mistwaker Project

NOw those are all of the exclusive xbox 360 jrpgs in a matter of 3 years.

Lets see all of the wii rpgs that fit your definition.

Tales Of Symphonia 2

Fragile

Opoona

Baroque

Camelot Rpg

Legend of the River King

Konami Rpg

Arc Rise Fantasia

Namco Rpg

Dragon Quest Swords

FFCC:TCB

Soul Eater is arguable

Moon's Peak

And that is for being released 2 years on the market. There are many more exclusive rpgs coming to the wii, and I bet there are many more already in developement.

No I never watched too many animes. Also there are alot of anime rpgs.  So the game isn't getting a localization? Where did you hear this?

I saved up all the money I got from my parents within two months, and have about $370.00 and want an Wii but also a 360. Should I get the Wii and a few games or an Xbox 360? Already own a PS3 and love it.

One other consideration you didn't mention is whether you are willing to share the console with others in your family or not. 

Even if no one else (parents or siblings) currently plays your PS3, it's entirely possible that some one else might want to play with the Wii.  Now, this could bother you since you bought it, and you'd rather others not touch your stuff.  And that's fine.  But you might want to get an X360, since if no one else is playing on your PS3, it's unlikely that they would want to play on the X360 either.

But if you do want to share and one or more get interested in play the Wii, it's possible that you could get some extra games out of it.  Might not be exactly the ones you want, say some one else buys the Wii Fit.  Might be a bit of fun for you, but when a great game that you like comes out using the Wii Balance board, you already have it, now don't you. 

One final agruement is that the X360 is going to come down in price faster than the Wii.  So if you think that eventually you will get both, waiting to buy the X360 will be cheaper in the long run, than waiting to buy a cheaper Wii.

Oh, one more final final agruement.  Any girl friend that might like the Wii?  Good - More game time, cheap date.  Bad - Might not be playing the games you want to be playing, hmm?



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

Untill you make your final choice wait untill after E3 but saying that, i would just go for the Wii being as you already have a ps3



Screw that. You have a console. Save your money and get a midget. They're MUCH more fun.

@ Benga - I'd probably compare Halo 3 to Metroid Prime 3 on the exclusives, as they are similar in genre

No they aren't. Metroid prime is an action-adventure while halo 3 is an fps.
