Why Are We So Lucky?

Why is the DS so RPG rich? Honestly, the DS has some of the best RPGs I've ever played. Is it luck, or am I just playing the wrong games on other consoles.

Some examples of released games:

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl
Advance Wars: Day of Ruin
FFTA2: Grimoire of the Rift
The World Ends With You
The Mystery Dungeon Games [Shiren the Wanderer, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon]
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Upcoming/Remakes:

Final Fantasy III & IV
Dragon Quest Trilogy
Chrono Trigger

and many more I hope.

So, the DS is epic?

The DS is RPG FAIL compared to all of the other Nintendo systems besides the Wii.

Really, the GBA didn't seem to have many that the DS doesn't, save Fire Emblem, and I forgot to add that in the first post. I actually meant out of the current gen games.

I never considered Advance Wars to be an RPG.

I'm sure the DS doesn't have as much good RPGs as some previous consoles (SNES, PS2, etc.) but the current gen is lacking RPGs for sure.

Chrono Trigger is going to be amazing. I remember playing that game when I was.. what, 7? Frog was a cool character. Hopefully they won't introduce any new touch screen controls. x_x

Compared to the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, and PSP... yeah, I'd say the DS is RPG rich. Not so much compared to the PS2 and past Nintendo consoles, yet, but meh. There's not a lot of epic RPGs anymore.

FFTA2 is amazing. Go buy it.

And you also forgot Dragon Quest IX, Tales of Hearts (which like Innocence will probably also never come outside of Japan, but still), and Sigma Harmonics. But yeah, your right the DS is RPG heaven and it rocks! The only consoles that might have had more were the SNES, the GBA, or the PS2.

I think RPG developers are looking at the rest of the current generation systems and haven't been able to find a good market to sell to. The Wii is for casual gamers, the 360 is for American teenagers who play FPS, and the PS3 did not sell well in the beginning. The DS was really the only system still capable of holding the audience of RPGs. Which is why there are so many, in my opinion.

Yep, it just rotated.

Dude... Most of the RPG's on DS are mediocre at best.

PH, FF3, FFXII RW.

Now FFIV, THAT will be amazing.

While not yet up to par with SNES, the DS isn't RPG fail by any stretch.

Besides, the N64 is the most RPG fail out of all Nintendo systems (excluding the Virtual Boy).

Yeah, but the N64 had 2 epic RPG's.(You should know what they are.)
I'm sorry I'm being a prick about it, but all of the titles are...Mehh...

^ Is Legend of Zelda an RPG? I've always thought it to be action adventure.

re: Why Are We So Lucky?

It's considered by most(as far as I know) to be an RPG, I've always considered it one. It has all the same elements, SM64 is an RPG, it's just not a traditional one like FF.
