Wii Needs – PC-style RPG games
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007 at 2:31pm by Staff
With a look similar to Neverwinter Nights, Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars has been announced for Wii and is due for release in Q4 2007. It’s being developed by Quotix Software, a games developer based in Serbia and Montenegro and will also be released for PC this summer.
It’s great to see a PC-style RPG coming to Wii, but having never heard of Quotix Software before this, we’ll have to wait to see how it will turn out.
Does Wii need PC-style RPG games?

Well, for old-school RPG-style “PC games” we already have the DS: Atlus is releasing Etrian Odyssey soon! It’s a dungeon crawler with a twist: you have to map the dungeons with the stylus!
I’d like to see RPGs with original twists like that on Wii…

In my opinion, The Wii needs ANY game that makes competent/innovative use of the pointer function since that is the most precise form of control on the console.
A PC-style RPG would fit the bill.

Serbia and Montenegro have been independent of one another for about a year. The developer is based in Serbia.

Awesome awesome awesome! I’ve been asking/hoping for a western-style RPG for the Wii.
With this morning’s Famitsu numbers from Japan, this has been a good morning of Wii news..

I think game publishers should feel a freedom, to put games on the Wii that does not necessarily need the total Wii experience. There are those games for the DS that do not use the touch feature in the gameplay, and they are good games. I really would not want a game that had a Wii feature tacked on. If the emphasis is on the game and it would naturally be a part of the game, then yes, go for it. That being said, yes I would like to see traditional RPGs brought to the Wii.

Does the Wii need western-style RPGs? Yes, so many times over. Look at the success of Oblivion. An original, open-world RPG of substance and quality would be so welcome on the Wii — and to anyone who claims that it doesn’t fit with Nintendo’s new strategy, I’d point them toward the millions of WoW subscribers. Besides, the melodramatic choose your own adventures that the Japanese consider to be RPGs make my ears bleed.

Something to ponder, too: This game is listed at $19.95 for PC. How much for Wii, then? If $20, I’m sold!
