Danreb Victorio says, "To be frank, while Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors offers a good time, it's not exactly an easy purchase at the full $50 price tag. A rental would probably suffice most people, especially since the game can be easily be beaten in about ten hours of so for most people. While Dragon Quest fans can rejoice in a good game to enjoy, it just doesn't offer the same kind of quality experience that its roman numeral brethren have pulled off so well."

Nintendo's motion-controlled console was the home of countless fantastic gaming experiences. Here, I'll count down ten obvious and obscure choices that will suit the modern market perfectly.
This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.
There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on
Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited
Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .
Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.
Banjamin Yoder: That’s not a ridiculous proposition if you think about all the first party successes the platform had with Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and other big Nintendo franchises. Where my love of the system does get a little strange is that I prefer the Wii’s third-party titles over other consoles.
The Wii had some incredible games, but just not enough to go up against the PS3 or 360's exclusives. (Opinion, obviously) That being said, I'm so glad I got to play on all three systems this generation. I didn't miss out on any of the games!
It is a pretty fun game actually, but he is right that most would be happy with a rental on this one. It takes some extra time to buy everything in the game but I did get thru it in 10 hours. So it's a nice RPG in that sense where you don't have to spend 50+ hours on it
I'm not sure how I feel about Japanese RPGs anymore. I'm not saying Dragon Quest Swords is a bad game, but JRPGs just aren't cutting it for me anymore. A lot of the time, it's more of the same. And let's look at the facts; there have been a ton of Dragon Quests. What happened to originality. I've been leaning more and more towards western RPGs. Anyone have the same sentiments?
