PS2. I don't really care about HD that much for this game. Suikoden was never a graphical showpiece, but I don't want to play Suikoden on a wii-mote. It's just a harsh reality that while Nintendo has opened up a new realm of gaming, not all traditional games are going to work well with their controller.
I'd buy Suikoden for the PS2, PS3, 360 or gamecube, but not the Wii. Just like I wouldn't be interested in Trauma Center on my PS3 or 360, I have no interest in Suikoden on my Wii.
I'm not going to repeat the mantra that the Wii is ruining traditional gaming, because it just plain isn't true. There will always be a market for traditional gaming. But I feel like the Wii needs to make its own new franchises that are built for the concept of motion control, not grab up popular "old world" franchises like Suikoden and Monster Hunter, and essentially take their names while making something completely different. All that does is leverage the popularity of the old games to promote the new ones, while effectively killing the actual franchise as it was before.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I welcome this news, if only because it means another shot at Suikoden.
I loved the first couple and really got into 3.
Though due to the lukewarm reception of 4 I skipped it, and I fells like 5 came out like 6 months later and I missed that too...
I bought Tactics for $9.99 at TRU and i still have it unopened so far.
Hopefully VI comes out in a nice RPG drought so I can dive back into the series.

FF7 already is a 3D game, the models are so horribly outdated a proper remake is perfectly justified. As far as 2D sprite based rpg goes suikoden 2 still looks and plays excellent. I'm sorry but if anything, suikoden 3,4 and 5 need to be remade back into 2D :lolTheBranca18 said:Because it's a better game than FFVII and everyone always screams about remaking that one

there is joy in sucking dick
Suikoden 5 rocked. Truly a return to form and the story didn't bore me to tears. I didn't think such a thing would be possible after Suikoden IV.
Also, Suikoden II is perfect the way it is!

PS2 port please.
a 3d remake of s2 is a staggeringly bad idea. the original will be released for download eventually - wait for that if you haven't played it, want to, and don't fancy paying for the original.
suikoden has always had simple controls, lots of mini games, and no notable technical achievements - it's a perfect fit for wii if there's actually an audience there. there's one person at my place who will be rather pleased if this turns out true. i'd guess no waggle for the main rpg bits (excepting possibly pointer for equipping and such) and a bunch of waggly mini-games (fishing, racing, etc...)

how far along are you? SV bored me to hell for the first 4 or 5 hours but it really picks up, IMO. it has become my second favorite in the series after II
but what do I know, I'm the guy that started the Suikoden IV love thread.

so half the loading time confirmed? 
I am going out on the limb and just say it's going to handheld and it'll be mission based.

I loved Suikoden V, so I'm praying heavily for Suikoden VI for Wii.
And I will never say anything bad about Suikoden IV as it was my first of the series, and I enjoyed it (ENOUGH) to give a serious chance to the rest of the series.
Personally, I really didn't like S3 except for Thomas's chapters, I just didn't really like any of the characters out of the other groups.

It's a rumour, a groundless baseless rumour, which we should just call wishful thinking at this moment.
There's not a single article that supports this nor even a single gaming "journalist" stating that this franchise is going to developed again.
With the way the thread has been going, I really think at this point we've been 2-chan'd. :lol

Well considering what the producer, Noritada Matsukawa stated does not look like there will be any new suikodens in the near future unfortunately.
Having said that if there were Wii probably is more likely unless they go portal with it, but either way here's hoping there will come a suikoden VI someday, would be such a shame if it ended with suikoden V, such a shame to end it when it started back on track....

When did he make that statement? The only reason I had the impression that Suikoden VI was confirmed was this old thread from Dec. 2006:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134267
Who's the producer, Sakiyama or Matsukawa? (don't know much about the team behind the games).

I didn't hate it per se. There are just many elements of it (cast above all) which annoy me to no end.vanguardian1 said:
But I did enjoy enough (though not much) my first time through, and to its credit I've beaten it 2x since then. Mostly just for the gameplay though since the combat is well paced and the game is relatively short.
To its credit and in the mindset of being fair, Snowe did help keep some intrigue in the story. Not particularly good intrigue, but in the very least I was still always curious to see how he'd end up.
My favorite part of the story was the sparse cutscenes of the Kooluk antagonists. Specifically Graham Cray. I found him oddly interesting and ominous, and because I wanted to see him developed (or focused on) much more, the few 'behind the [enemy's] scenes' that were in the game were quite enjoyable.
Elenor was rather interesting as well. I never particularly like her strategy or morale scenes, but the more social scenes (e.g. recruitment) were great.
It's too bad those things were massively overwhelmed by story events or characters that drove me batshit insane for 95% of the game.
p.s. I just received Suikoden Tactics in the mail this afternoon. I've beat every other game in the series at least 3 times, but I just never bothered to play this gaiden. Saw it cheap online though so I grabbed it.

Absolutely pathetic part deux
Poor Lobster.
Actually I believe Jump had the very first scans of Suikoden V
So Suikoden VI debuting in Jump again would make sense.
Edit: Oh Himu, you should pick up the Collection of Gensou Suikoden Book It contains art and info on every single Suikoden game (S1-S5, SG1-2, Suiko Card Stories, Suikoden Rhapsodia/Tactics, etc). It also has every single Suikoden character in it.
PM me to see some scans
At least those are the earliest scans I have and that I know of :lol

I love the console wars.
Suikoden games have never been graphical showpieces. They've been home to great stories/characters, wonderful pacing/gameplay, and the music for the most part, has rocked (IV is ignored). Graphics have always been serviceable and detailed, never reaching too far, but the dev teams have always done enough to impress with small details and character designs. Most of all, the games are very cohesive visually, specifically the world that is created around the characters meshes incredibly well with all graphical details and enhances the story and immersion of the game.
I loved the look of V so having it on Wii wouldn't matter a bit.
