It's been a few years since the Dreamcast coughed up the first Console Massive Multiplayer Online RPG, Phantasy Star Online, and boy was it a beauty. You could hang around with your friends, fight monsters together, level up, learn new skills, with people from all over the world. At the time it was a revolution in gaming technology. It was reincarnated along with Phantasy Star Online 2 for the Gamecube and Xbox, topped off by Phantasy Star Online: C.A.R.D Revolution.

What Limited the fan base of gamecube users was that it was such a hassle to get online. You had to buy the Gamecube broadband adapter, wire the system, and pay a rediculous monthly fee. The time has come for SonicTeam, they've always been huge supporters of Nintendo. The Wii is online wirelessly right out of the box and getting conneted is a breeze, especially with the Wifi USB adapter. A Phantasy Star Online for the Wii could be AMAZING. No doubt it would have a huge fan base and with a headset, it could be downright amazing.


Who else agrees, THIS SERIES BELONGS ON THE WII?

I want PSO and seeing as how I don't intend to buy a PS3 nor an XBOX360, I'd like it to come to the Wii. Didn't have online on my GC and I didn't like playing PSO: BB that much on the PC :S

Blue Burst was a dissapointment, with the online function of the Wii, I love the possibilities.

True, that. Quite lacking on the content. I want loads of new scenarios that look as good as PSO Ep. I & II's CCA Areas did. All the new areas were too dark -.-

  Yea, most importantly I want minimal lag, good graphics, clan systems, a headset, etc. But I'd rather wait til late 2008 than have a mediocre game in 2007

I don't know about clans, as that'd bring elitism over to the series (there is already, but usually only on forums). What I'm hoping, is that ST actually does a decent job with their servers for once. That'd be my most important request, even though all those are welcome.

I think it would be cool if another PSO game comes out for the Wii, but I have my doubts about it cause of Nintendo's stance for online gaming. They seem intent on the friend codes mechanism and that goes against what an MMO is about. Square Enix has this same issue with Nintendo as they want to bring a FF MMO to the system but can't cause of the friend codes system. I'm not holding my breath on this and I actually expect it to never be realized cause of Nintendo's stubbornness.

Massively Multiplayer Online.
PSO isn't really a MMO. Parties are made of few elements and you can't see other players once you create your game.

How about you shut up?

and perhaps you should rent a brain. I am a huge PSO fan clocking in many hours on the Dreamcast version but by todays standards the gameplay in PSO is jut very simple and it was simple when it was released. PSU is easily possible for the Wii but having played the demo on the 360 i'd rather not

O well sarcasm doesn't really make itself apprent on the internet. I'd prefer PSO on the Wii over PSU, something just doesn't quite sit well with me for that game for some reason

Phantasy Star is not a MMORPG, you need a massive amount of people playing together not just 4. I hope it never comes to the Wii, it was truly amazing on the Dreamcast and every release since has lost some charm.

PSO is more like an ORPG really but it was still brilliant for its time. Mind you, 4 people in a group, i'm sure that's MASSIVE back in the day of 56k

Think what people where playing on pc's back then, and even Quake on the Dreamcast ran bigger group servers on 56k, its a shame on Phantasy Star Universe they didn't change it to massive groups like 50 or 60. FFXI runs on the 360 and its possible to have hundreds of people in the same area fighting, although realistic regular groups are 18-20 tones more are possible. 6-8 what ever PSU is seems weak to me, they needed to step it up. After playing the beta i didn't buy the game.

I played PSO on the Dreamcast and was totally addicted to it. It'd be great if the Wii could bring that action back again!!

No subscription fee. It's pretty pricey to play PSU if I remember rightly

Didn't in some interview a couple days ago they said that they really won't be leaning towards the MMOs?

I never had the chance to try it as I was into MMORPG's at the time. But this sounds like a perfect Wii title.

Maple Story DS is in the works I hear, and if that seems to be possible, I do not see why there cannot be PSO for the Wii

Sega are shutting down 2 servers, the Dreamcast and Gamecube PSO servers i think it is, in a month or two so if the original PSO was coming to the Wii the Gamecube server is there and will use be disused, i dout they will launch it on Wii though, where more likely to see a new game, it wasn't the most popular GC game.
