It's technically a SRPG. There IS a Namco Wii RPG coming out in Spring, Arc Rise Fantasia, that looks pretty good.

I heard Final Fantsy 4: The After Years is pretty good.

No, and honestly, I think it may be commercial suicide to release a turn-based RPG on Wii since the majority (3rd party at least) of games only have a chance of selling if they exploit Wii functionality. This is something a turn-based RPG wouldn't do and why we get games like Crystal Bearers instead of a traditional Final Fantasy.

That said, Arc Rise Fantasia and Monado: The Beginning of the World are two games to look forward to it seems.

To be perfectly honest, I think it's a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of JRPGs, so I'm not going to say no to more of 'em, but with the DS being supersaturated in that genre, I'm still trying to catch up on that platform. If there was a ton of 'em on Wii, I'd be so far behind it wouldn't even be funny. It's nice to not be totally swamped.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

Lol RPG's are much better on handhelds.

There are some on GameCube, which you can play on your Wii, such as Pokemon Colosseum and its sequel, XD: Gale of Darkness.

Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?

There's Breath of Fire II on the VC, and the Phantasy Star series (which I'll assume to be good as a whole), also Paper Mario.

I don't think I've forgotten any?

In your opinion. I love the genre. Speak for yourself

Virtual console has most of them, such as Paper Mario, Breath of Fire II, and the Phantasy Star series.

You shouldn't have done that.

No. Fighting games and turn based RPGs are pretty barren on the Wii.

Opoona is not a turn-based RPG. It's an RPG, but combat is actually real time.

There are a couple of good RPGs on the Wii though. Opoona is one, and Monster Lab is another. They were both highly enjoyable games.

Currently playing: Gunstar Super Heroes (GBA), Infinite Space (NDS)

Like several people have said, the VC is your best choice for turn-based RPG's.

If they hadn't ruined paper mario series fight style, Super paper mario could've been one.

Just let it happen.
