No! And I can back it up... 4 words: Fire Emblem from Nintendo!



And proud member of the Mega Mario Movement!
For the main series, not likely. Next generation, if that happens, maybe but not now. That's why the Crystal Chronicles series was created at first.
Square-Enix and Nintendo made nice but at the time Sony had the rights to the main Final Fantasy series. Square made a studio to develop Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles but didn't take own all of it, just like 49%. While not as huge as the main branch, the first FFCC sold well enough to merit more games, my guess at least.
Of course now that Sony no longer has control over which system the main Final Fantasy branch is on, it still doesn't make much of a difference. Final Fantasy XIII, and FFXIV, are being made with the PS3's power in mind. The 360 getting it was obvious since it was close in horsepower to the PS3. The Wii never stood a chance, and still doesn't, of getting back the main branch of the franchise. I will say this though, I'm actually looking more forward to the Crystal Bearers than FFXIII, and I have all three consoles and both handhelds.
Anywho, Kingdom Hearts on the Wii? Possible. Been playing through both of them again recently and...I just can't imagine them in HD. Don't think it would great. Who knows?
| Hephaestos said: The point you're missing is that Nintendo does not need to pay for exclusives... were the games on Nintendo's consoles only Nintendo, the console would still get good sales and a bunch of the best games of the generation and be profitable (NGC is an example).... that's because Nintendo is just the best developper out there. Now as far as RPGs go, it's true they lack a bit... but they have great titles Mario&Luigi, Earthbound, Paper Mario, Fire Emblem. This won't satisfy an RPG fanatic, but it'll satisfy players that like a varied experience.... It's hard to find a genre that is not covered by Nintendo and with a high quality game at that. |
I'm sorry I owned GameCube and Nintendo gave GameCube way more hardcore support then they are giving Wii. GameCube was a hardcore console and Nintendo was able to be profitable because of their hardcore titles. Nintendo stated they could launch Wii with only first party software and still be successful. And they could have had they kept their hardcore focus.
But Nintendo has all but abandoned the hardcore and without that base the Wii would never have gotten off the ground. It's Nintendo's fanbase that spreads the word. Nintendo's fanbase that sells the software and Nintendo's fanbase that makes Nintendo successful.
If Nintendo only released the megre line-ups they are right now they could not have survived this generation. They would need to increase their levels of software and released far more titles. Keep in mind Nintendo now only launches half a dozen first party titles a year. I remember on GameCube I bought one new first party title every month. This generation I've bought 7 first party titles when compared to the 35 I owned on GameCube!
Thats right I owned 35 first party games on GameCube and only 7 on Wii. Nintendo just isn't giving Wii the first party support they gave GameCube. Heck if it wasn't for the virtual console I wouldn't even be touching my Wii, with the exception of the Conduit (A third party title).

If that happened it would be a short jrpg.

How do you figure? A Wii disc can hold the same amount as a 360 disc, and they'd be able to stuff more content onto it due to the lower-resolution textures. Not that it's actually going to happen, but lol at your reasoning.
Anyway, Final Fantasy is already a Nintendo exclusive.

I don't mean to offend, but you're just being ignorant if you think Nintendo has only released seven great first-party games this generation.
Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Punch Out!!
Mario Strikers Charged
Mario Kart Wii
Super Paper Mario
Fire Emblem
Wii Sports
Battallion Wars 2
Excitebots
ExciteTruck
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Wario Land
Endless Ocean
Animal Crossing (not for everyone, but great if you're a series fan)
Mario Super Sluggers
And that's just disc-based games off the top of my head. They've also got plenty of great first-party WiiWare stuff, including the Art Style series and Dr. Mario.
Besides, you're comparing the Gamecube's entire life span to only part of the Wii's. Upcoming stuff that we know about:
Pikmin 3
Zelda Wii
Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Metroid: The Other M
Sin & Punishment 2
Wii Sports Resort
Another Code R
Cosmic Walker
Dynamic Slash
Monado: Beginning of the World
Endless Ocean 2
Kirby Wii
That's 31 first-party titles from Nintendo (only counting the really big ones), not including their WiiWare and not including stuff we don't know about yet.
So, yeah...
depends how soon the cycle of disruption will happen. Disruption is occurring and unless Natal works, expect Sony and Microsoft to be made gone.
In the future, FF games will either appear on Nintendo's systems or the PC. Either way, Square is looking at the handhelds more then the consoles. FF may just move to the DS.

You're right. There is a good chance FF may move to the ds or any futher handheld. It will depend on which market SE will prefer for the main FF: japan or America. Japan has clearly chosen handheld while America hasn't. Most likely they will go with Japan. It has the biggest current and most likely futher installbase for FF.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Highlighted are the games I own and am interested in! So you add the four new games I'm interested in to the seven I already own and you have 11 games in 4 years, of a typical Nintendo five year life cycle that is basically the lifespan of the GameCube and I owned 35 GameCube first party titles.
Thats less then 1 3rd of the software I owned on GameCube. Compare that list to the list of GameCube first party titles four years in and you'll get my point.
And since when is WiiSportsResort a hardcore game or even Excitebots, Endless Ocean ,ExciteTruck, WarioWare: Smooth Moves. All of those are casual games maybe at best ExiteTruck and Excite bots can be considered hardcore.
The GameCube had way more good solid first party support then the Wii does or will have assuming next years E3 is like this years or last years!
