Camelot doesn’t actually leave Nintendo, but do we care?

Evidently, it’s really hard to translate Japanese:

Update: Looks like we jumped the gun. Most sources, including Camelot’s official website, seem to indicate that the studio is merely branching out onto the PC platform with ‘I LOVE GOLF!’ A Wii RPG should still be in the works.

Yeah. A Camelot RPG has been in the works since 2002. First, it was for the GameCube. Now, it’s for the Wii. First, it was a console-based Golden Sun. Now, it’s an unnamed fresh IP. After all the crap this vaporware has gone through, and all the unfulfilled promises and frequent delays, I’m not so sure I even want a Camelot RPG anymore. The Shining Force series on the Genesis was fantastic, and the GBA Golden Sun games were great. But after so many sub-par and mediocre Mario sports titles under their belt, I have a feeling they’ve likely forgotten how to create a quality RPG. And frankly, I just don’t trust them with the task.

Why don’t we just convince Capcom to put their Breath of Fire series back on Nintendo systems? Or, better yet, just wait for Intelligent System’s Fire Emblem for the Wii.
