SMRPG, Golden Sun Wii, and Oger Battle Wii

[BORTZ]

i was searching around the internet for Super Mario RPG randomness and came across this article from N4G. i dont usually read from N4G and dont know how reliable the source is. they say it came from RPG Mag. Read and see for yourself.



"Three gargantuon rumours purporting to some huge Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS announcements have emerged from RPG Magazine today. Two involve the comebacks of hugely popular series’ and the other concerns the ressurection of a series last seen on the Nintendo 64.

Yes, RPG Magazine reports that Square Enix is currently considering bringing back Super Mario RPG (originally released on the Super Nintendo and the pretense to Paper Mario) to the Nintendo DS. It will include, appearely, more characters from the Final Fantasy universe.

The second whisper helping to keep the rumour mill churning is that Ogre Battle will be making a comeback on the Nintendo Wii and that Yasumi Matsuno, former games director at Square and massively respected games designer, will be involved.

Last, but by no means least, is chatter that Camelot will be resurrecting the Golden Sun series on the Nintendo Wii. The brilliant RPG was last seen on the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Word has it that battling will take place mostly via the Nunchuck controller."

heres the picture that was included.

I call BS. That "included picture" is just official art from the original game that came out 10 years ago. Camelot's all but disbanded from what I've heard, while there are probably issues concerning Microsoft's ownership of Rare. For instance, would Nintendo be able to use Mallow and Geno?

It sounds too good to be true, which means it probably is.

too good to be true is what i thought it might be. but i have a little faith.

and was yoshi in the original cover art?

Camelot themselves said: They would really love to make a GS3, but its not on their schedules at this time.

In any case, Wikipedia states that while a magazine did state that Square Enix was considering an SMRPG sequel on the DS, this has not been confirmed by either Square Enix or Nintendo.
