i agre about the franchise being born on sony family side…
but about the rpgs on wii, dqswords sold considerably well, super paper mario, fire emblem, too… and shirn3 and chocobo dungeon 3 with close 100k sold(japan-wise), the sad side comes with around 30k sold from, echoes of time(can't compete with ds version),fragile(new entry and very niche…but very sad to manage only 22k ;.;),arc rise fantasia( new series again coming from a not so great in cash studio but that i love) oboro muramasa(wich compared to OS in th large installbase of ps2 sold 50k on first week and muramasa sold 28k on a very less IB that is wii by now…) phantom brave and takt of magick(but those two had near to nothing marketing as many good wii games have and are faded to die) sold less then 20k being the real bomba that i remember
i dun see any great numbers in japan for ps360 =.=
so sales wise i dun see wii as a great bomba for rpgs

You're telling me the original Valkyria Chronicles *wasn't* heavily aimed at the Japanese market?

Since the franchise started on the PlayStation and the anime episodes are on Japan's Store it makes sense that it stays there for now.

If Valkyria grows again it's possible, but RPGs aside from Tales have had a hard time on the Wii.

3rd party games have been selling badly on Wii, especially in Japan. Maybe high quality games would change that but they aren't sure, MH3's success will be telling.

I want it to be on PS3. Since from my experience with the PSP it doesn´t allow for the godly amount of precision that Valkyria Chronicles required.

Which is a pity. But nontheless I´m glad that there is a sequel comming out. Now all I need is to find the money to get it when it hopefully gets translated.

Hmmm…..I'm glad they are doing a sequel. But this game shouldn't have a “2″ next to it. I hope Sega doesn't blow it. I have a PSP anyways, but I'd rather enjoy it on my TV too.

While i'm disappointed that they're now going for a shounen anime look (crazy horned smirking Valkyria ugh), i'm happy that there's a sequel even being made. Wasn't too sure there would be one given how it sold all around.

Still, i'll miss the original style that made Valkyria Chronicles all so wonderful a game.

Wat. How was that the ONLY good thing they done? *sigh*

btw I'm glad it's on a system I have but I hope it's newcomer friendly (which case I'm sure it could).

If you think the anime rocks, then you must have hated the game. The 2 couldn't be more different.
