My brother and I were just discussing the lack of good RPGs on the Wii. Any hidden gems I may not know about? The only ones I have are Twilight Princess, Okami and Fire Emblem (even considered RPG?).
I'm looking forward to playing Arc Rise Fantasia early next year. I'm hoping the wait will be worth it!
As for games that are available now, have you tried Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World? The original Symphonia on the Cube was better I think, but Dawn of the New World was still a pretty good Wii RPG, too.

I've beaten Super Paper Mario I'm well into Twilight Princess, but can't get past the endless moblin army I've beaten the first two episodes of SBCG4AP
Otherwise, I don't know of any RPGs for the Wii save for those you can download via VC.

I second the recommendation for Dragon Quest: Swords. I want a sequel and a DS version.
Baroque is on Wii too, if you like your RPGs rogue-like and crazy-difficult. I guess Alien Syndrome could be considered a dungeon-crawler along the vein of Baldur's Gate/Diablo as well--not a horrible game, but pretty monotonous.
yes I like roguelikes. The wii seems to be the only place to get graphical roguelikes like this.
I tried baroque for ps2 and wanted to like it but ended up not really enjoying it. Guess not enough variety of items and skills like in other rogeulikes.
An old one, but good on the VC is Wonderboy The Dragon's Trap or TG 16's Dragon's Curse same game but not bad for it's time. Also Wonderboy in Monsterland on the SMS had some elements of RPG especially buying new equipment and weapons etc..
The only traditional RPG for wii I can think of is DQ10, and that's probably 2 to 3 years away, if you want a traditional RPG game to play now then the VC has a few, Paper Mario and Phantasy Star are worth downloading.
If you are going down the VC route then Any of the Zeldas from SNES up is well worth ago. Also IGN just did a RPG Chears and Tears fears feature for RPGs
WOW..I just pick up Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and I can stop playing this game. I know it's like 40-50 hours long. But this game is so fun and the story is great. It makes me want to go buy the GC Fire Emblem. This is the 1st Fire Emblem game I have played and it will not be the last. Time to go play some more. Played about 3 hours stop to make something to eat and now back to the game. Must buy if you see.
