Or any nintendo console for that matter. Since N64 there has been 1 maybe 2 decent RPG's on a Nintendo console. What gives? They bought out monolith soft (xenosaga developers) last year and all that's come out of that is a japanese only DS action RPG. The only game on the horizon is the Tales of Symphonia sequel. WHY NINTENDO WHY????
You'd think that with the installed user base that it already has that someone would be working on something. Unfortunately it just looks like every publisher just wants to do some half-assed port of an older PS2, PC or Flash/Java game over to it. It's kind of sad, but Nintendo lets it happen.
I would just LOVE to see an RPG like xenosaga come out of monolithsoft again for the wii. They could even do a one handed control scheme. I seriously doubt we'll see anything worth looking at.

please stop that would be so tempting lmao. the wii has potential but not that many 3rd parties care for it which is sad.
People you are all way off, Good RPG AKES TIME to make. That being said: FF chocobo dungeon is coming July the 8th, Tales of Symphonia 2 is coming out in q4, FF crystal bearer is not dead, Monster Hunter 3 is exclusive to the Wii, Shinen the Wanderer is coming to the wii, Rune Factory 3, Harvest Moon (if you count that as a rpg), Little King, Fracture from Namco. Square Enix also said that thy want to make more Wii games and that their crystal engine is being worked on the Wii.
Rune factory looks like it might be good. It's actually a harvest moon spin-off though. Looks to be a farming/action rpg game. Not exactly what i was thinking of but it might turn out ok.
ever since developers hoped over to playstation over n64, nintendo has never recovered from the lost of rpg games on their consoles. i, too, have been waiting for another rpg games, so let just hope there is something for us during E3. oh yeah, go check out fire emblem!
Right now Monolith Soft is focusing on Disaster Day of Crisis, after that releases they will probably be working on an RPG for the Wii, also Camelot are hiring developers to work on the Wii and the rumour is it will be an RPG.

Yea maybe your right,but i just thought that the Wii would be more of an RPG console like the SNES or Ps2 you know since it was easier to develop for than the Ps3 and Xbox 360.
Other than Squeenix (Square Enix) who makes GOOD RPG's? Squeenix is so pre-occupied with re-makes, ports, and spin-offs that it forgot to innovate. It's a good thing they took some chances with "The World Ends with You," but now they need to throw some resources behind a Wii RPG.
Other than Squeenix (Square Enix) who makes GOOD RPG's?Arkk_Angel
Monolith Soft (Now owned by Nintendo), Atlus, Nippon Ichi, Vanillaware (Making Legend of Dragon Sword for the Wii used to be called Oboro Muramasa Youtouden) Namco Tales Studios, Tri-Ace, Tri-Cesendo (Making Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon) and some others but I can't remember them. (But I'm talking about JRPGs if your talking about WRPGs then their are others.)

(But I'm talking about JRPGs if your talking about WRPGs then their are others.) So true
I've seen Atlus bring over some solid stuff from various developers. Namco-Bandai has published some good ones as well. To be honest I'm getting kinda tired of square's RPG's. I haven't played a ton of them but I can only cast firaga so many times before I lose interest. FFXII looks promising though. We'll see what comes from them.
I think even an action RPG in the style of Dark Cloud would be a GREAT fit for the wii, especially with the motion controls.
Have there really been any good RPG's for any of the consoles as of late? I can honestly not think of any off the top of my head. We at least have Tales of Symphonia 2 coming later this year, hopefully Final Fantasy CC: Crystal Bearers one of these days, I have a gut feeling we will one day see a Kingdom Hearts on Wii and also a sequal to Skies of Arcadia. IMO, the only RPG's on any other console that I would get excited about are FFXIII and Tales of Vesperia.
Devs have some annoying, stupid compulsion to make their games look like Mii's/Crystal Chronicles/MySims. As long as that's happening, we'll never get one.
Just another hat to throw into the ring... turned based RPG's are dying in general, Blue Dragon for the 360 is the only one I've seen in a while that was actually a turn based RPG, the worst thing to happen to RPG's was the consolidation of Squaresoft and Enix if you ask me, without Enix in that title we would have seen alot less kiddy BS and a lot more grown up, real dialogue, darker RPG's like Final Fantasy 7 and 8 to come along, and a lot less FFX-2. What the Wii needs is a big, immersive RPG with characters that are defined by their personalities and not by how many buckles and pockets they have on their pants.
Oopoona got horrible reviews. And super paper mario is a platformer, a great one, but it's not really an RPG.CubeNerd
Super Paper Mario was more of an action-RPG than it was a platformer, and Opoona didn't get horrible reviews. Right now it has a 65 on Metacritic, which is just short of a recommended purchase. Most reviewers agree though that it's worthwhile if you're an RPG fan, which I'm assuming TC is.
There are enough quality RPGs coming to the Wii. There are:
Fragile Farwell Ruins of the Moon Tales of Symphonia Kinghts of Ratatosk Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers Rune Factory Oboro Muramusa Youtouden (its from Vanillaware the people behind Odin Sphere) Munster Hunter 3
As you can see that should be enough for now, I'm not as concerned about RPGs on the Wii as I was with the Gamecube's.
I know it's old school but i'd really like to see a turn-based rpg though.CubeNerd
Turn based RPGs are pretty much dead. The only chance of one appearing on the Wii is if Nintendo makes a proper Paper Mario title (though even those games aren't completely old fashioned TBRPGs).
Though if DQ9 does well enough DQ10 could end up on the Wii, and there is no chance the fanbase will let that series become an action RPG.
Maybe this is a little off topic, but looks like some of you people have missed the Baten Kaitos series, which are two of the most decent RPGs we had lately on a Nintendo console. Give it a try if you haven't already, money shouldn't be a problem since they are somewhat old games by now.

We got 2 great Fire Emblem games on the GC and Wii respectively. Skies of Arcadia Legends was pretty good too. I think Tales of Symphonia came out on GC too, but I never really got around to playing it.. Loved the FEs though. But I do kinda feel your pain.. More RPGs wouldn't be a bad thing, that's for sure.

Yeah you are right about that for sure. I got it a month or so ago and it is great. Haven't had time to play as much as I'd like but the battle system with the cards is great and turn based. Story seems great.
