Is a Wii good for RPGs?

[tigris]

Is it good for RPGs, such as Dragon Quest (not the wii version)

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Not really.

Better off getting a PC or Xbox 360 for RPGs. Mass Effect, Fallout 3/New Vegas, Oblivion, all are great RPGs.

 

[Ritsuki]

Unfortunately, no. There are only a few RPGs. You can try Tales of Symphonia : Dawn of the New World, Muramasa (Action RPG), Final Fantasy : Echoes of Time (Action RPG), Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem (Tactical RPG), Chocobo's Dungeon (Dungeon RPG),... I could also add Okami in the list, but it's more an adventure game than a RPG.

Be warned, FF:EoT is only the DS version on Wii. So the graphics are a bit crappy.

The games in bold are the ones I highly recommend.

Yes, here's a list off the top of my head:
-The Last Story (coming in 2011).
-Tales of Graces.
-Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the new world.
-Opoona.
-Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors.
-Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road.
-Xenoblade.
-Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.
-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time.
-Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.
-Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
-Shiren The Wanderer 3.
-Arc Rise Fantasia.
-Rune Factory Frontier.
-Phantom Brave: We Meet Again.
The ones here I'm not sure if count as RPG, since they have certain elements of it...
-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers.
-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My life as a King.
-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My life as a Darklord.
-Monster Hunter Tri.
-Super Paper Mario.
-Okami.
-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
-Muramasa.
I may be forgetting some, but I think this is proof enough that it is a good system for RPGs, people who say otherwise are ignorant of its software line-up.

@Goli
he said GOOD RPG
and you forgot Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga

the only good RPG on the Wii is Arc Rise Fantasia, Fire Emblem and and Muramasa
the rest are shovelware RPG..

 

[Satangel]

There are some great RPG's coming to Wii, but as good as the PC or the 360, it'll never be.

Also Twilight Princess is hardly an RPG. Same for Super Paper Mario.
And Fire Emblem, while superb just feels wrong to play on a TV, it's more enjoyable on the road.

 

[KingAsix]

No...I've had my Wii sine release and have yet to play a decent RPG other than Tales of Symphonia.

 

[J-Mirage]

Xenoblade is actually the best RPG for Wii. The Last Story is coming soon.

 

[Goli]

Romee, you clearly have lacking reading comprehension skills.
He isn't asking for good Wii RPGs, he's asking if the Wii is good for RPGs.

 

[Whipple]

The simple answer is NO. There are other platforms that are better suited for role playing games.

 

[RoMee]

okay Goli, you're right, but it still don't the change the fact that RPG on the Wii is nothing more than shovelware

 

[PolloDiablo]

RPG or J-RPG?

Wii and Ps3 both have really good RPGs

 

[FAST6191]

Not sure why we are replying to a 5 year old question but hey.

"Wii and Ps3 both have really good RPGs"

People said the PS3 was an RPG machine, I doubted it though ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/ps3-and-360-exclusives-a-discussion.360416/ ) and it seems I was right to. For the PS2 and PS1 it was unquestionable but for the PS360 there was not a lot in it, and may have even been worse depending upon what you like.

As for the Wii I would say eh. Most things there would need the qualifier "for the wii" on them. "good, for the wii", give or take a few and ports and remakes of some harder to come by games.
