It's all a load of bullshit, Wii gets one big one which is DQ X and even that one will not release for a LONG time. The HD twins get 1 big game with the PS3 getting another big game and that is it.

DQ IX on DS and flagship games on handhelds is the future, flagship JRPG will release on handhelds. The real kick in the teeth for SE will be when (not if when) Agito outsells FFXIII and Versus, that alone should secure flagship games on handhelds. The popularity of handhelds continue to increase so the next gen of handhelds will get the flagship games. Minimal effort for maximum return.

Rant almost fini, niche and flagship games on handhelds the future and in ways the present as well.

I fail to see how's that's relevant, or likely, or why it would be a kick in the teeth for SE. Hmmm, their own game outsold their own game; big loss there.

You're using handheld here too interchangeably with DS. A PSP only sidegame is not going to outsell a PS3 AND 360 main series Final Fantasy.

I'm a big handheld gamer, play them as much if not more than consoles, and RPG's are by far my favorite games, but I don't see this trend of main series games manifesting on handhelds becoming too widespread.

Back to the article: Hooray, more Wii RPGs! I already have too many DS RPGs alone to possibly attempt to play!

 

Hmmm sit down, make yourself a nice cuppa and put your thinking cap on. A PSP game outselling 2 HD console games with each costing at least 10x what the PSP version cost to make, you don't think SE would have a problem with that? I guess great thinking like that is what has kept SE in such a fantastic financial position!

Soriku a new Tales of game seems to be announced every week so that is hardly big, With Graces came a port and a PSP game, FFCC should sell very nicely but again no where near a big game.

Not by definition, no. What if XIII and Vs. each sold 10 million, and Agito sold 10.1 million? Would this be a kick in the teeth for SE? No. If Vs and XIII sold very poorly and Agito sold very well, the poor sales of Vs and XIII would be a kick in the teeth. Agito selling well would silverline the cloud, not accentuate the severity of the financial teeth kicking.

It's irrelevant as it has no chance of happening.

And @Okey, Dragon Quest is pretty awesome, especially 3, 5, 8, and the first two Monsters spin offs.

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Oh shit I think he's serious O_O

Tales of Graces might indeed be the only flagship TO game for the fiscal year, when the PSP TO game outsells Graces it will be funny times!

The funnier part is that he's right. Imagining Agito outselling both XIII and vXIII is absurd. There's always a quantum possibility, yeah, anything is possible, but this is so unlikely as to be effectively impossible, or statistically irrelevant.

Well, it seems like japanese developers arent affraid of making a game with PSone-PS2 level of graphics for HD platforms. Disgaea 3 and Atelier Rorona show that some japanese developers do not really believe in the Wii's core audience. If can become a trend for japanese developers.

However, one shouldnt underestimate the Dragon Quest effect, after all. This alone ensures that niche RPGs will be coming to the Wii. It's just questionable whether it will get more of them than PS3.

 

Atelier isn't PS2 level...

 

 I think it is.


do optom etrist have a hotline like 1 800 dentist because i think you need your eyes checked

Same goes for yours.

Agito was originally a cellphone game that's being made for the PSP now, and I'm sure they will be updating the graphics to it. I highly doubt it would ever outsell FFXIII or Versus, considering the previous sales of FF games.
