I just want a JRPG that's even 3/4th as good as Chrono Trigger. And I'm still waiting.

That would be great, but it's not going to happen IMO. Tons of people would write it off simply because it's 2D.
This really scares me. With the rumors that MS is going batshit insane with specs I'm worried about how next gen's going to turn out. We've already seen a ton of developers bite the dust this gen due to rising costs, and I don't see it getting much easier next gen.ShockingAlberto said:

Man
I loved Chrono Trigger, but it is so overrated as some sort of pinnacle of the genre when other games have managed to be more charming and more fun.
In my opinion, anyway.
Get outta here with your reasonableness.

Not gonna lie, buying KH3D specifically to support TWEWY.
Not if Wii U sells good in the beginning, especially if it sells games. I mean, if that happens, I hope some publishers won't be so stupid to make games just for PS4/720, especially in the beginning...
You underestimate the stupidity of some publishers, some completely ignored the best selling system this gen, I wouldn't be surprised of a repeat next gen either.
Many publishers are already taking a "wait and see" approach to the Wii U. ShockinAlberto can vouch for this.
Meaning?
EDIT: Oh, higher budget meaning they need to find ways to make more profit out of it.

And a few next-gen projects have already started.
You might want to ask yourself why Dead Space 3 looks like such a departure and a copycat of other games, as if the main team isn't really working on it.
I don't understand why no one tries to emulate Chrono Trigger when it comes to JRPGs nowadays. That genre is a shit heap. Awful stories, long cutscenes, overly confusing gameplay mechanics, terrible designs...
Then again, I guess it's a lot easier when you have Sakaguchi, Yuji Horii and fucking Akira Toriyama making a game in their prime.
That dream team!
Why do I get the feeling that these next gen projects won't be appearing on the Wii U, but the Orbis/Durango/.
Glad I'm not the only one.
We'll see. I'm not holding my breath for anything, but if the power increase will be that significant I fear for the industry as a whole. A lot of them will go the way of digital distribution.
Eh, I hope that after the launch, if it's successful, we'll see more games from these publishers. And I'm not considering we'll see many other third party games as WiiU release approaches, seeing how Nintendo is even limiting third party about what they can say XD
Err, because I'd like the console to be supported in a good way as that Beyond3D insider who everyone say is very reliable ( Li Mau Bai, IIRC...) said just before E3? I'm not understanding XD
get daft punk to do the soundtrack

Via Nirolak: Dead Space 3 "not currently in the plan" for Wii U.
Whatever the reasons why, I'm still amazed that Nintendo has seemingly had such a terrible success rate at convincing third parties to greenlight Wii U versions of current-gen multiplatform games. I never would have thought a year ago that it'd turn out this badly, but I guess I was just being naive.

You should listen to ShockingAlberto more often. lol
Ah yea forgot that one. So basically, most publishers are putting all their eggs in the Orbis/Durango basket more than a year before release? And the reason for this is.... More power? Cause it sure as hell can't be userbase at this point. Hmm, where have I seen this before?
Here we go again. Is there a good reason for this, or they just can't be bothered/don't think it would be worth it?
I just want all 3 consoles on the market already so we can see how this all pans out.
The CPU is supposedly a modified Broadway and Reggie and Iwata are in denial or spin mode.
*Shakes head*. Waiting to see if the Wii U does well when it will only do well if there are games for people to be interested in and to buy. No games = no well selling Wii U.
I really hope Nintendo has been hiring enough people and working on engines (for 1st party and 2nd party) in order to increase their game production. There maybe 3rd party games not announced yet that are being made but I've never had faith that western 3rd party support would be there in a way many wanted. Now Japanese 3rd party support is something else and that could be key here but western 3rd party support? Wished for it but seriously never expected it be honest.
wsippel and GHS Multi IDE development environment/compiler begs to differ.
So, basically, how many games can we expect for Wii U first months at this point ( besides the pretty good launch, obviously)? Just to understand the situation.

Historically speaking, third parties tend to stick with the horses they bet on when it comes time to plan for a new generation of consoles.
If they really are betting on Orbis and Durango over Wii U, as seems to be the case, there isn't much reason for optimism, unless Wii U takes off while the other two utterly bomb.

No idea - Alberto can speak to this one far more than I can.
I don't know if it's "over" Wii U so much as they are just basically doing what they did this gen. Difference is that Wii U is able to get port-downs this time around, but... well those need to be budgeted for and completed as well obviously.

Yeah, it's a hell of a creative team, but I just can't see why nobody captilized on it. It combats so many of the typical JRPG complaints with relative ease. JRPGs are too damn long and full of filler? CT has 20-25 hour runtime, zero filler. Sidequests are shitty fetch-quests? CT actually incorporates it's characters into the sidequests in a meaningful way that expands on their personal history. Random battles suck? CT gets rid of random battles, and builds encounters in a way that you'd never feel like you need to go back and farm a few levels. The entire game is built on a steady difficult curve that moves along with you. JRPGs have shitty, anime shonen bullshit masquering as stories? CT's plot is one of a simple, timeless fairy tale, accessible to just about anyone. JRPG combat is too slow and convoluted? CT's combat is fast-paced, easy to learn, and gradually allows the player to grow into it's depth by way of team synergy and combo techs.
CT is such a tightly-paced, wonderfully accessible, timeless JRPG masterpiece, and yet so many of it's ideas and innovations were ignored for bloated playtimes, cliche anime storytelling, and random battles.

Okay.
So, basically, Alberto (XD), how many games can we expect for Wii U first months at this point from third parties( besides the pretty good launch, obviously)? Just to understand the situation.
Anyone know which big Japanese publishers/developers we should be paying attention to?
I figure the following.
Square-Enix
Capcom
Team Ninja
Tecmo Koei
Konami (minus Kojima Productions. Assuming there is something else coming out of Konami save Metal Gear anymore these days.)
Anyone else?

Well, I probably should have said "effectively betting," which is what they did with Wii.
It'll definitely benefit from having a modern GPU architecture to some extent, but at this point, I see the overall percentage of multiplatform titles it'll receive ending up closer to Wii than to even GC.
So which is it? There's like 2 or 3 rumours a day about the Wii U hardware.
What I want to know is what OUR people of inside knows.
Thanks. I forgot about the Square/Enix split that currently exist. Enix with Dragon Quest does seem tied to Nintendo for the foreseeable future. At the moment anyway. Still I don't think Square can avoid the Wii U given how much money they sunk into Final Fantasy XIII and this new engine they're making. Especially with their long development times.
I agree.
well how many multiplatform games are coming to the ps3 and 360 in 2013 and 2014
In 2013? There are a lot of games coming. If almost all of these come on Wii U too, I'd be satisfied XD
Yeah, but besides Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and the Kingdom Hearts series, does anybody even respect Square Enix anymore?
The Enix side, yea. The Square side, no.
