A little out of left field, however, is news of Sega reviving Skies of Arcadia. The sky pirate RPG was criminally overlooked, despite releases on both Dreamcast and GameCube, but apparently Sega been quietly preparing a sequel to the swashbuckling adventure.

Meh, I'm personally more excited about the 2 other games that the rumour speculates about.

But hey whatever, I'd take another Skies of Arcadia too.

Those other two are pretty much expected, so no surprise there. Sega has not said a single word about Skies of Arcadia 2, so hopefully this rumor comes true.

What's wrong with it being a Wii game?

Because it will not have updated graphics if it's a wii game :|

I wouldnt even count that as upgraded graphics, I mean come on the Gamecube and Xbox were not that far apart in terms graphics last gen and hell no it's not even close to the PC and other two consoles. That's why I want a real upgraded game.

Upgraded graphics are upgraded graphics. Like I said, it won't reach the level of the other two consoles, and nothing beats out the PC anyway. All I know is I want the game and it wasn't because of the graphics that made me a fan of this series.

Your kidding right I played SOA on the dreamcast and it looked insane even today I fire it up and it still looks decent. Why would you want it on the wii with meh graphics and motion that just makes no sense imo.

It'll probably befor the Wii since Sega and Nintendo's relationship have risen recently and because it was on the GC.

So if you still fire it up despite the graphics it has compared to today's graphics, why would you care if the graphics are meh on the Wii? As long as it's a good game, that should be all you care about. And motions that make no sense? I didn't realize the controls were already announced and you actually got to try out the game. That should be good news then cause it definitely means the game is coming out, right? Woo hooo...

Dreamcast to Wii is fairly large imo.

For me SOA is a legendary jrpg from the dreamcast with fantasic graphics,great game play, good story and good music. To put it on the wii would be disrespectful imo to the original game here is why:

Graphics = wii 480p not even xbox level

Sound = wii has pro-logic rubbish

Control = wii-mote nuff said

To do SOA justice it should be on the ps3 or 360 to make it a proper sequel orI might as well keep playing the dreamcast version.

Sorry, if it goes to the Wii(which it most likely will) , you're going to have to get over it, and stop crying like little girls.Eponique

I'll get it, but I'd still be pretty pissed.

Skies of Arcadia was never a game that made much use of power.
It knows to set its atmosphere by storytelling and character.
This discussion is pointless.

This is the problem with the Wii not being up to standards in graphics last generation GC xbox and ps2 where all pretty much similar enough to multiport the same game across all three systems this generation we have the 360 and ps3 thsat gets all the ports and the wii getting 1st party games and shovelware. but the big problem is when a good franchise is rumored o have a sequel but makes no references to which system(s) it turns into a brawl because if its 360/ps3 it wont be wii if its wii it might come out for 360/ps3 but with last generation graphics (whichs sucks after playing games like eternal sonota and bioshock.) nintendo is lucky this system is popular because if it wasn't no game would be release for it, nintendo played "russian roulette" with the wii but they won

Oh my GOD, this is almost as exciting as if Phantasy Star V had just been announced.

The large, open spaces in the game are crying out for next-gen visuals, so I agree with previous sentiments that this really SHOULD NOT be on Wii.

Ok lets look at this.

1. Most of the Gc fanbase will have a wii

2. The few people that bought the firstskies on GC dc have a wii

3. 360 owners have probably never plyed a skies games and DONT LIke japanese style Rpgs!

4. It doesnt have duel wileding or chainsaws

5. The ps3 sales number would make the game sell far lower than wii

6. 360s failures in japan makes it less likely that a JAPANESE style game will be exclusive.

The only thing is that SEga is dumb and they dont like money, they are likely to put it on 360 or ps3 becasue of this.

The wii is the place for RPG refugees.

I hope this is true. SoA was awesome. Hopefully they'll just make the game multiplat so everyone can enjoy it.
