If there was something like this in the works I would definitely consider buying a Wii-U. I have so many people who know about pen and paper RPG's but don't want to play them because they don't want to learn the rules, or think that it's still "too nerdy". This could easily be a good way to bridge the gap between video games and the endless choices you can do in a pen and paper RPG.
Yeah, this would be a GREAT idea for Western RPG devs. Heck, even get a license for Pathfinder, Shadowrun, World of Darkness, Dungeons and Dragons, etc. Another possibility is adding modding ability so the DM could make their own campaigns, characters, weapons, spells, races, dungeons, ANYTHING and upload it to servers to share among other players. It'd be like LittleBigPlanet: RPG Edition. Get Obsidian or Bioware on it and add expansions for new content.
