We already published the list of best Wii games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best Wii JRPGs of all time.
With amazing titles available, the Wii definitely has a great library of JRPGs.
So, if you’re a fan of both the Wii and JRPGs, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Opoona
- Release Data: ArtePiazza/Koei, 2008
- Genre: Role-Playing » Japanese-Style
If all you expect from your RPGs is groundbreaking graphics and tear-shedding cinematics, then Opoona is definitely not for you.
On the other hand, if you look for a RPG that dares to stray far from the established rules of the genre, then this hidden gem in the Wii library might just be what you need.
#4. Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
- Release Data: Genius Sonority Inc./Square Enix, 2008
- Genre: Role-Playing » Japanese-Style
What Dragon Quest Swords brings to the table is an extremely accessible role-playing experience that works to capture new gamers in the world of Dragon Quest.
The combat is fast and action-packed, the actual RPG elements are light, and the storyline is simple and accessible for any age.
#3. Arc Rise Fantasia
- Release Data: Imageepoch/Marvelous Entertainment, 2010
- Genre: Role-Playing » Japanese-Style
Minor technical issues, wasted opportunities and dreadful voice acting bring Arc Rise Fantasia down, but there’s still plenty of enjoyment to be found as long as you know what to expect.
Yes, the game is your standard RPG, but it presents the kind of content that anyone looking for just such a game would want.
#2. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
- Release Data: Bandai Namco Games, 2008
- Genre: Role-Playing » Japanese-Style
As with any game, whether or not you will like this one depends upon what type of gamer you are.
However, if you are a fan of the original, the Tales series, or JRPGs in general, there is no reason why you will not find a lot to love about Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
#1. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
- Release Data: Matrix Software/Square Enix, 2009
- Genre: Role-Playing » Japanese-Style
Fans of the 16-bit Final Fantasy releases should find plenty to wrap themselves around in this continuation of the Final Fantasy IV storyline.
The game offers quite a bit of length and gameplay and if you appreciate retro visuals and ‘traditional’ RPG game play then this is obviously a game you’ll want to consider.
