Nintendo dominates in the RPG market, jelly?

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"] Its pretty sad when people argue about what is an RPG and what isn't. N30F3N1X

What's sad is seeing ignorant people who can't even tell a game's genre.

As far as console libraries go, almost nothing in the newest consoles appeals to me.

Still can't decide whether SNES or Ps1 is rpg library - king.

[QUOTE="ispeakfact"]No Demons and Dark Souls = no Domination of rpg marketAmnesiaHaze

I haven't played Pokemon since the red/blue era. I kinda want to get back into with Black or white though.

Oh...Pokemon. I thought you were going to mention Xeno, or The Last Story.The Wii did not get Skyrim, Dark/Demon Souls, or even Oblivion. Sure Pokemon sells a lot, but I'm tired of that game. Call me when they let you play as Team Rocket.

Had no idea there were still people there that still haven't accepted Pokemon has a Legitimate RPG.

Adults that still play Pokémon will never have girlfriends.

To the people listing The Last Story, you guys do know that Mistwalker developed it right? Nintendo didn't even publish it in NA. Even if Nintendo owns the IP, it's kinda hard to say it's theirs alone when they didn't handle most of the work behind it.

Shouldn't Pokemon actually be an RPG first to be competing against Skyrim, Mass Effect, Witcher 2, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR and Dragon Age? Let alone "dominating"? ;)

we also can't forget fire emblem, paper mario, the Mario and Luigi series.... am I forgetting any?

inb4uall

These are all I can think of at the moment and these were all released new games during the 7th Generation (DS or Wii)

Edit* Mother 3 was released on the GBA but it was released after the DS was already out.

Can't debate that...

Still, it's the same repetitive sh!t with every iteration. Gotta be a true fanboy to not realize (or care) about it.

Fire Emblem series has 78, 81, 85, 85, and 88 on Metacritic
Paper Mario series has 85, 87, and 93 on Metacritic
Mario & Luigi series has 90, 86, and 90 on Metacritic
Xenoblade Chronicles has a 92 on Metacritic
Magical Starsign has a 69 on Metacritic (They didn't include the GBA game it was Japan Only)
Glory of Heracles has a 69 on Metacritic
Fossil Fighters has 68 and 70 on Metacritic
The Last Story has an 80 on Metacritic
Pandora's Tower has a 74 on Metacritic
Golden Sun series has 79, 91, and 86 on Metacritic

Metacritic doesn't count the Japan only titles in the series and it also doesn't count the games that were released before the N64.

It is an RPG.

There's Potions, there's Random Battles, There's an Open World to Explore, There's Techniques you can find in Caves, There's Exploration, There's NPCs to talk to and even some that give you items and hints on where to go, Some even tell you tales of "Legendary" Pokemon or where certain Pokemon live.

Pokemon is a Legitmate RPG.

It's no different from those Western RPGs you just listed.

isn't pokemon linear?riIpas

to an extent, once you get all the neccessary requirements you are free to explore and search caves and stuff for Pokemon.

I think Black and White broke the barriers a bit with TMs working like HMs and most of the HMs are no longer tied down to Badges now.

No one said it was a Sandbox.

I said Pokemon is just as much as an RPG as The Witcher 2 is.

Well technically pokemon is the farthest from the RPG line you can get.StatusShuffle

It's arguably the only traditional RPG franchise still standing.

Not mixed with any other genre. Like older RPGs such as Squaresoft and Black Isle ones were.

I still don't see the domination here, the highest rated RPGs aren't even on nintendo systems. z

You are mentally ill if you think having potions and random battles=rpg. You are mentally ill if you think open world and items you find on the map=rpgs you are mentally ill if you think talking to npc's=rpg you have no idea what an rpg actually is legatpskyheart please leave the thread.StatusShuffle

So Pokemon is not an RPG because there's Health Items in the Game? Last I checked Games like Skyrim and Fallout have those.

Last I checked a Random Mountain Lion in Skyrim is just as Random as a walking into the grass and finding an Oddish or whatever.

Last I checked Also in Skyrim I can check where I am on a Map and go into a cave and find some usefull items in there and maybe even something that helps me progress the game like an HM or a TM ( or in Skyrim a new SHOUT.)

Last I checked every RPG has NPCs, even Dark Souls.

and I'm the one Mentally Ill cause I apparently have "no Idea what an RPG is".

BTW You can Level Up in Pokemon Too, but the way it's set to order the stats is werid you have to fight certain pokemon to boost the speed stat or the stamina stat or whatever, can't do that freely like you can in most western RPGs.

Nope. While I enjoy them, they aren't the best RPG in my opinion. It is the same game over and over again which works for the series, but the formula does get old to me. The stories are pretty non existant which is a pretty important aspect of an rpg. Plus by GS standards it is an A-AA franchise. I do enjoy the games though. Brings back memories.
