シャイニングフォース フェザー (Shining Force Feather) [DS]
a new shining force game is also planed for Wii, unannounced now...


---

This info comes from Creamsugar (a Japanese dude who gets info like this becauseof his translation skillz).

I expect this to be announced at TGS.

More Wii RPGs FTW! :D Hope it's made by Camelot.

 

 Meh...Shining Force was never that good of a game anyway but who knows maybe this one'lll actually end up being good and i'll end up liking it.

t looks like w have an interesting split with RPGs this generatin--the 360 is geting most of the massive, big-budget games, while Wii is getting niche RPGs galore--weird, as RPGs have historically all been on pretty much one console.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

if true, this is something to get excited about. the shining force series was great on the genesis. however the srpg genre is limited and i want to see sega outdo nintendo's fire emblem on the wii.

Well...there's A LOT more niche RPGs than big budget RPGs so the Wii is getting more...

 

more doesnt mean better.

i would take fable 2 over opoona, dq swords, baroque combined.  and to date, doesnt the 360 have more rpgs out on retail than the wii?

i mean, besides those that ive mentioned isnt there only fff and fire emblem for wii?

 

to be fair, vc has a good number of classic rpgs which makes up that gap.

A lot of these niche RPGs are good though.

the ones that have been released are really not up to par with the big budget rpgs.  the highest rated rpg on wii according to metacritic is fire emblem (unless there are some that i could think of) with a 78.  and even then you have to consider the fact that srpgs are just not accessible and have a limited audience. 

i am all for more rpgs, i just wish that developers tried just a little harder to make deeper and longer rpgs for the wii.  there are some coming up that have potential, but as of now, the hd consoles have the upper hand.
