Whether or not you think the Nintendo Wii ended up being a disappointment, it made a lasting contribution to the gaming canon. Exhibit A: Its surprisingly excellent RPG library. Bob, Marty, and I sat down to break down the Wii's RPG contributions, and we found more than a few exclusive that can be counted among this generation's best.
In the second segment, we talk about the Wii U's potential. I'm on record with the belief that, if nothing else, the Wii U figures to have a pretty solid lineup of RPGs from the usual suspects in Japan. Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem, and Pokemon are already in Nintendo's corner, and that's in addition to the fact that they own MonolithSoft (Xenoblade Chronicles). No doubt Square Enix and Namco Bandai will both be keeping a close on the Wii U over the next year.
The next episode will be the last of the year, and we'll use it to recount all of the best RPGs of 2012. Lots of good games! Please look forward to it.
