Nintendo Power - Huge RPG being shown in next month’s issue

People are saying that it can be: Skies of Arcadia (Wii), Golden Sun (Wii/DS), Earthbound 4 (Wii/DS), Breath of Fire (Wii/DS) or Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII (Wii)....

What do you think?

What would be the ultimate twist and would fock up so much minds :

A FFVII remake on the Wii.
BUT.
The original FFVII that was supposed to be done on the 64, not the PS1 FFVII.

(I know it's definitely not that, I'm just saying it would be awfully funny to see something like that)

I wonder what is making them go crazy like that tho. There's already a bunch of FF games coming for the Wii, not some "big ol' numbers" FF games, but Crystal Chronicles stuff and Chocobo junk.

A new Golden Sun would definitely be welcome, I only hope it's not simply a "we're finally making a GOOD and complete pokemon game for a home console, instead of some rip-off".

I thought this was about the Sonic RPG that BioWare is making for the DS.

Super Mario RPG 2 or maybe Kingdom Hearts for Wii?

No reason to bring out Kingdom hearts on the PS3 other than sony owning a bit of square-enix as the average user is in there 20s.

Wii would be the perfect platform for Kingdom Hearts. They could have special cameo appearences of all of Nintendos characters. And since all the disney story settings have been used already, using worlds from Nintendos games would be great. Imagine fighting against Bowser, Ganon, Motherbrain, Wario, King K. Rool and Team Rocket with companions Pikachu, Link, Kid Icarus and Donkey Kong.

It's something greater than that.

[skoreanime]

I'd go out and buy a Wii (even though I'm broke and stretching my credit limit) if it's Super Mario RPG 2...

[runawayprisoner]

Please let it be a Xeno game... please let it be a Xeno game... please let it be a Xeno game... please let it be a Xeno game... please... D:

[Gladiator@]

It seems like Nintendo Power is saying that the RPG is from an old and good franchise.
Maybe it is Chrono Trigger....

[Paratech]

Secret of Mana?
Chrono Trigger?

No offense, but what was so great about Super Mario RPG? I own the game but never got into it that much.

A "Witch" at a Sears store gave me a rough time, saying the game shouldn't have been on 50% off sale even though they had the sign up for all Super Nintendo games being 50% off! It wasn't like they were docking her salary over the sale! :P

I still have it, but I have a ton of other *better IMSHO* RPGs to play, but I keep it as a collectible I might play down the line.

I loved Secret of Mana, except the ending, and I loved Chrono Trigger, proper sequels to either game would be nice! I'd buy a DS post of Secret of Mana in a heartbeat, although I heard Dawn of Mana sucks and I still have to finish Sword of Mana. A Chrono Trigger for the DS would be nice as well!

[PCXL-Fan]

Anyone heard of any rumours of upcoming square-enix games?
Seems there are only 2 likely developers for the game Bioware and Square-Enix.

Please be a fully realized and uncensored Fallout 3 Van Buren Project for the Wii with the reunion of the entire Black Isle developement Team.

[Gladiator@]

It HAS to be a Wii game. DS already has a lot of good RPGs.

I have to wonder how many Wii gamers would buy Xeno games when they are somewhat more *mature* than traditional Wii games?



*edit*

The DS has a lot of good RPGs? Other than Zelda, what does it have?

[Thanakil]

I hope it's not for the DS... Seriously...

We already have a hell-load of games on the DS, and it would be nice to see something a little more full-scale on the Wii.

I suppose a Seiken Denseitsu is not out of the question (Final Fantasy Adventure · Secret of Mana · Seiken Densetsu 3 · Dawn of Mana) and could be nice too.

Well... Outside :
- Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
- Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
- Pokemons (you may not like them, but those are still quality RPGs liked by its own audience, as such it's valid)
- Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
- Final Fantasy III
- LostMagic
- Etrian Odyssey
- Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

and possibly a few others?

I suppose none

You KNOW Bethesda has bought the content for Van Buren (since it came with everything else). Even tho they said they didnt want to finish someone else game and that it would be ethically wrong, they are still in possession of all that stuff to make it they'd have to sell it back to the reunion of those guys.

And when you had to that how all of them are sprawled all over the place and yadda yadda... *sigh*

If we're lucky the guys behind Troika will reunite (again) one day tho, that's the closest thing to a "black isle prom reunion" we'll ever get... again.

Plus:

Children of Mana and Heroes of Mana;
Dragon Quest IV;
A lot of Digimon World games;
A lot of Harvest Moon games;
Magical Starsign;
A lot of Megaman Battle Network games;
Lunar Knights;
Some Naruto games;
Spectrobes;
Xenosaga I & II;
Some Yu-Gi-Oh! games.

Well that's a lot to me.

[PCXL-Fan]

Well DragonQuest 9 has already been announced.

Yes I was joking, I just wanted to see how you would reply
But since Bethesda does own the Rights to the game maybe they could make it for Wii(-100% probability). Hopefully some Hackers can break into the Bethesda servers and steal all the Van Buren source code, like what happened to Valve with Half-Life2(or maybe they intentionally leaked the code as lots of rumours are saying)

Well that's a lot to me.

Actually, two role-play Yu-Gi-Oh! games, two World Championship Yu-Gi-Oh! games that don't involve role-play elements, three versions of Megaman StarForce 1 and two versions of Megaman StarForce 2, one Megaman Battle Network 5 remake game... and that pales in comparison with how many of those game we had for the GBA. Most of the Naruto games are action games. But dear lord, you are forgetting quite a few titles... what about Lunar - Dragon Song? What about Hoshigami? What about Drawn To Life? What about... uhh... you get the picture. It's only sad that a lot of RPG games don't make it outside of Japan.

Edit: Still praying for a Xeno game! I love mecha combats...

[Paratech]

I was thinking of picking up Lost Magic, it sounds good and Electronic Boutique sells it used for $9.99!

DQ9 is on DS! Swords is just where you swing a sword with the Wii Controller and kill the monsters that way. Also DQ9 has been pushed back a few months because they want to make it a great game.

[Radix865]

Coming in 2007!!!

But looks fun, maybe I should get DS after all...
