The 360 does.

Meant coming out (the PS3 only has like...WKC and Cross Edge coming this year in NA. Demon's Blade too but how many people want that? FF XIII too but Japan only.)

I don't consider three (maybe four if your generous) JRPGs to be a lot of RPGs.

And yes the PS3 only has three JRPGs coming out this year as far as I know.

I think it has alot to do with the wii's graphics. They just don't look attractive after playing a HD console (at least for me anyway). mario galaxy was definitely attractive though but i don't see many if any wii games matching the beauty of that game (not even the conduit with its bland art design).

I have a ps3 and a wii and am dying to play a JRPG on the ps3 but I have not been interested in the slightest in the wii JRPG's - I don't even know any to be honest, and I think that's because wii games look so underwhelming when compared to ps3 games. Now if a JRPG wii game gets 80+ on metacritic then I'll definitely check it out but otherwise I'm not interested.

Anyway, I'm quite happy to bide my time with other games while I wait for WKC, or any decent JRPG to come out on ps3.

...are mainly Western gamers that play FPS/WRPGs most of the time? I can understand they say that...as the Wii doesn't have many quality Western games, while the HD consoles do. At the same time, the HD consoles don't have many games I want because most of them are Western games (quite a few good Japanese 360 games though, but there's some good Western Wii games, but the Wii doesn't have the bulk of them and the 360 won't have the bulk of Japanese games like RPGs I want) and I mainly play JRPGs.

Now, if you're a big Japanese game fan and say that, you're just being dumb and ignorant. But I can see where certain people come from when it comes to Western games,

If this were right, then those same people would have issues with the DS, but they don't. Most people here love it and it's more of a JRPG and general japanese gaming machine than the Wii can ever hope to be. Think of a different reason, because this one doesn't hold much weight.

 

I don't like DS either >.> *runs and hides so i don't get flamed*

I love my PSP to death. Monster Hunter <3

Here, here! I agree so much.

You shouldn't be basing games off reviews...

especially when it comes to JRPGs

I own and dislike the Wii because of a lack of quality in its titles.

This in turn caused many people to upgrade games like NMH and De Blob from being average/good games to being excellent games. Heck, I tried De Blob because of recommendations from this board, and whilst it's a fun little game with a nice premise, the controls aren't precise consistently enough for me to enough the game or vouch for a wiimote over the analogue sticks.

The only game thus far that's convinced me that motion controls are the future is MP3. One single game.

Also, I'm a JRPG fan and the PS2 has more to offer me in the last 2 years than the Wii has. Even Persona 4 alone is better than all the Wii JRPG's thus far COMBINED.

My only hope for the Wii this year is the new FF game and Fragile (in terms of JRPG's).

i used to dislike my wii also, till i added the homebrew channel. VC and Wiiware added new life to my wii.

So do I (and price of course) :P

Btw...my uncle got an HDTV and a PS3 :o Want to see it soon. Too bad he bought crappy games for it (Kung Fu Panda and some basketball game...meh :/).

Well, what are you waiting for?! Buy Valkyria Chronicles now and play it at his house!!!

I have found that, on the majority, the Wii haters tend to gravitate towards Western games, which is where the Wii has failed. I've also found that the Wii haters (dislikers, whatever) tend to desire serious, realistic games with compelling story, immersive graphics and sound, online co-op (or online versus, either way). Pretty much all the features that the Wii lacks. It isn't to say they disdain the kinds of games the Wii gets (though they often do), but they crave immersive, story-driven gameplay

 

I crave none of that. I prefer simpler games with hidden depth and lots of replay value, which the Wii seems to be setting everything up



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
