Nintendo Says Wii Replacement Won't Come "Anytime Soon"

[Quaidis]

Well, this is a good thing. It would be outright awkward to release a new Zelda, Metroid, Mario, and the such with tons of promises of future releases (I'm looking at you, Tales of Graces) then on the same year pull a new system out of their ear.

Timing is everything. The best time the Wii should release WiiX2 with blu ray capabilities and an option to swap between standard def and hd, as well as some snazzy new controller design that involves your tongue, would be when the world economy is on a better foot.

I want to see Tales of Graces over here so badly! I heard somewhere though that its producers don't often release outside of Japan. Have you heard anything to the contrary? I'd love to know!

If Tales of Symphonia Wii was released outside of Japan, and did well, then there will be nothing stopping Tales of Graces. I see no reason why it would not be released. Though it may take a bit longer now that they have found bugs in the Japan version.

Well that was my thought at first, but I heard somewhere that the developer for Graces is different from the developer of Symphonia. Am I mislead?

Quite possibly. The core thing to remember here is that many of the same people work on the different Tales of games, like a family tree. All Tales of games have done pretty well, and all (or almost all) have been released outside of Japan; even though some of the games have changed names upon that travel to other countries and some of the people in that 'family tree' have split off and done their own projects. It would therefore be improbable that Tales of Graces wouldn't follow suit.

And even if, under some apocalypse, the game somehow doesn't have a standard publisher that can export it, another well known publisher will take up the charge. After all, there is plenty of money to gain from the title and, being part of a vast series, it is well known. It isn't like this is some new, unheard of risky game title that no one has played the likes of before.

blu ray wouldn't really do much with the wii, wii games tend to be about 4gb so it doesn't need the extra storage.

Well, thank you very much. You have effectively quelled my concerns

If you are going to quote me over something, quote the entire thing. If you cut it up like that, it loses the effect of what I was getting at.
