Five years ago you really wouldn't have thought that the Wii would be the place to find the future of the Japanese RPG. Hell, even two years ago you wouldn't have believed it. Everybody was too dazzled by the gorgeous graphics of Square-Enix's Final Fantasy demos on PlayStation 3 to give the Wii a second thought as the new home for this traditionally spectacle-heavy genre. Japanese RPGs formed a core section of the line-up for the PlayStation and the PS2, and it seemed natural that the PlayStation 3 would follow suit with several showpiece titles.
It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.
I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.
As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.
I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
For the Wii’s 15th birthday, here’s a list of 15 Wii games that deserve ports or sequels.
dragon quest X says hello
and by the way everything she says about rpgs is completely wrong. Shes basically fodder until they fire her.
Especially after her embarrassing tales of the abyss review
Pandoras Tower also looks to turn a few heads if released worldwide.
You forgot Pandora's Tower
looks awesome, to bad theres only about 25 or less good games on the wii,(for me only about 8. pretty sad since its life span is almost over and wii-u is on the way.
