Games like Little King’s Story, Muramasa, No More Heroes, Rune Factory Frontier etc. They’re not supposed to be epics like what’s available on the HD consoles, and they’re intentionally supposed to be rather off-the-wall. “Niche” is the term commonly used to describe their appeal in North America and Europe. These titles may not be selling in the millions like popular third party software on the 360 and PS3, but they’re the type of games that we come to expect for the Wii, and believe it or not there is a certain crowd that will enjoy them.
In other words, Nintendo is catering to the audience is has in the West with Xenoblade and The Last Story. They’re not trying to secure any of the crowd that primarily uses the 360 or PS3. Longtime gamers that have a love of Japanese design, and live in the Americas or Europe, most likely own a Wii. Those people that still have a fondness for something like the Tales franchise or Dragon Quest are the ones who will be excited for these RPGs, and even if they own an HD console, chances say they’ve got a Wii in their house as well.
