"After years of being maligned as a casual platform, will the Wii get some recognition as a hardcore system?"
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
hmmm i like this artivle alot rasing lots of good questions
This was an excellent read. Personally, I'm a huge Wii fan, and that's in no way because of the busload of BS shovelware that's constantly released. I enjoy the Wii for games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, No More Heroes, Super Mario Galaxy, the recently released Metroid: Other M, and MadWorld. Games like that are designed for both longtime Nintendo fans and hardcore gamers.
In terms of WiiWare, a lot of solid indie games are given a platform to be showcased on. Cave Story and Furry Legends are among my favorite downloads for the Wii. And while the Virtual Console has been somewhat lacking lately (by lacking I of course mean almost entirely absent), there are dozens of great old-school titles worth downloading.
keep it simple man, Seriously, with games like Mario Galaxy 2 and The other M do you really need to explain yourself further? Forget what these douche bag wanna be gamer journalist think. They wouldn't know a good game if it slap them in their face and called them mama. Just enjoy the games,, thats what they are there for. No need to set up a defense perimeter and go on why the Wii is great. Personally, i think the Wii is better than the 360 cause at least the Wii has exclusives that I want, and the virtual console is great too. If I need HD i just go with the ps3.
NEVER!
To me, the Wii is not a hardcore gamer console, although it has some hardcore gamer games like Super Smash Bros Brawl.
I cannot identify Mario Galaxy 2 or Other M to be hardcore games despite MG2 being extremely good.
