Need a Wii RPG

post #1 of 30
Thread Starter 
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new RPG for the Wii. I want something to play after I finish the new Zelda when it launches. I'm a huge Monster Hunter fan (have Tri, but I don't care for it nearly as much as MHFU on my PSP). I'm hoping that Xenoblades imports to the US here soon, as well as the Last Story since they both look amazing. I really want to play Dragon Quest X, but I have no idea whatsoever when that will come out, even then I don't know if I want to get it for the Wii or the Wii U when it comes out.

Was considering Valhalla Knights and Arc Rise Fantasia, as well as Tales of Symphonia. Never really got into the Fire Emblem series, although I do enjoy some SRPG's (albeit old school ones, such Shining Force).

Honestly, I am not interested in the Virtual Console games. I do have some games that I have downloaded, but I rather stick with Wii games since I only have a total of 4 Wii games (Monster Hunter Tri, Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess).

On and off note, I can't wait for some good RPGs for the 3DS, OOT, Star Fox have been collecting dust after being beaten quickly, and I'm almost 100% done with the new Super Mario that came out yesterday.

honestly, have you considered importing Xenoblade? i did and it was totally worth it. the cost wasn't bad, it came out to about $48 with shipping.

Xenoblade is probably the best JRPG i've ever played, and i've been playing since Final Fantasy.

if you're up for it and aren't afraid to install the homebrew channel (nothing to be afraid of), then i highly recommend it. it's ridiculous that NoA didn't release it here.

I've been strongly considering it, didn't realize I would need to install a homebrew. Which I honestly have no idea how to do it. Even then, will I still be able to jump online and play Monster Hunter Tri if I wanted to? Does installing the homebrew have any restrictions when it comes to the virtual console games I have purchased?

i have homebrew and it's just a channel. it doesn't affect any other games.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/19/how-to-play-xenoblade-chronicles-if-you-live-in-america/

that article can get you started, but they make it way more complicated than it needs to be. all you need is the Homebrew channel, and then the program Gecko OS which will let you load up games from other regions. all the other instructions they give are for getting the wii to read from an external HDD, which is cool but unnecessary.

google can help you figure it out, i'm sure.

*edit* install the Homebrew Channel and this program, the Homebrew Browser.

http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Browser

the browser makes it easy to install other progs you may be interested in, including Gecko OS for loading foreign games. you just run the browser, find what you want, and download it, all on your Wii.

i bought Xenoblade at Zavvi.com.

*edit 2* Letterbomb to install Homebrew on Wiis with system version 4.3:

http://hackmii.com/2011/08/letterbomb/

it's easy, just read up on it.

Thanks for the input man, I'll look into that some more. Not sure if I will wait for a NoA thumbs up to have them bring it in. Perhaps I will wait until the beginning of December to see if there is any new news on it comming our way, and if not I will go ahead and pull the trigger.

Japan import? I'm so glad I pre-ordered the collectors edition a couple hours after it was announced lol. Can't wait for it to come in. Finishing up Twilight Princess, should be done in a couple days, juggling the new Mario 3D Land lol, just started the secret world.
