I wonder what happened to Opoona, an RPG controlled solely with the Nunchuck.

It has a relese date of 1st November(Japan). There is a video of it.

Yeah as a fan of JRPGSs, I was suprised that I was relying on my 360 for fix this year. I wish Square Enix would do a new Ogre Battle/Tactics Orge game or at the very least let Game Arts make a new Grandia or Lunar. Come to think of it Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle seem perfect for the Wii controller. If Sega didn't stink so bad lately, Shining Force 4 would be good with the Wii-mote as well.



i don't see how these games will ever make it out of japan to the US... from the screenshots, they're 99% oriented towards the japanese audience.



the Wii is an epidemic.

Oboro Muramasa Youtouden will rock.... but i doubt this jrpg will hit the states... i'll import this game for sure.

1. Can the team behind Ogre Battle 64 PLEASE make a follow-up?  I know S-E swallowed you with their gaping maw of FMV, but I miss you guys.

2. Haven't the last few Grandia/Lunar games been pretty crap?  Though I don't think the last Lunar was actually made by GameArts.

3. Shining Force 2 and 3 were made by Camelot, you know.  They're still around and not making shoddy Sonic games.

 mmmm Strat-RPGs.  Hard of the core.

sounds good...



 

 

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!

With a 360 and a Wii I'll be set on my JRPG fix for the generation.  They look great!

Good to hear the Wii is getting JRPG's, I missed them with the GC. 



The vanillaware game looks exactly like Odin Sphere (which is a good thing) and from the pics looks like it plays the same.

If a publisher like Atlus picks the game up then it could get released here.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Well most JRPGs hit the US. Or at least a solid 85% of them. Europe is a different story though...
