RUMOR - Suikoden VI on Wii?

GN 1.0 / 2.0

A big discussion going on over in the NeoGAF forums. I have never played a Suikoden game before, so I know next to nothing about them. All I know is that one more game for the Wii is a good thing, and a big title like this wouldn’t hurt! Reasons why it may be headed to Wii below.

* Sakiyama didn’t confirm the platform the game is being developed on. Maybe it’s because of a new platform instead of PlayStation 3? (Could also be Xbox 360, or multiplatform.)
* Konami previously announced an “untitled RPG” for Wii. What if it’s Suikoden VI?
* Final Fantasy XII director Yasumi Matsuno has said that Wii is “perfect for RPGs” and is making a new RPG for Wii. Maybe Konami shares his attitude?
* Wii is already getting a number of RPGs from Nintendo, Square Enix, Koei etc, so it will be a console that will have an established number RPG players.
* Suikoden has previously appeared on a Nintendo platform in the form of Suikoden Card Stories for the GBA.
* Suikoden 1 wasn’t a PlayStation exclusive and Konami has supported all of the current consoles and is already supporting all the new consoles, with the most support behind Wii with 7 games.
* Suikoden has never been a graphics-intensive game, and has normally appeared on a platform weaker than the competition (PlayStation and Saturn versus Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 2 versus Xbox and Gamecube).
* Suikoden games have supported one-hand playing (all except Suikoden IV and Tactics), and the Wiimote is designed to be used with one hand.
