Recommend RPG for Wii?

Hi!

Last year I bought my husband a Wii for his birthday, but recently he's said he's disappointed with the lack of good RPG games that use the unique Wii interface. He would like to actually swing a sword at monsters, etc. I figure the games are out there and he just hasn't discovered them yet. Can anyone recommend a good RPG for the Wii where you can really work up a sweat?

Well I suppose what country you're in depends on what's available to you. Essentially the first thing that pops into my head is The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Failing that, you can't go past Super Mario Galaxy - probably one of the best games for the Wii.

If you want some of the older Nintendo stuff, I believe you can buy them through the Wii for a nominal price.

Too bad neither of those games are technically RPGs, but TP is close. It's a really fun game.

There's Dragon Quest Swords, Fire Emblem, etc. For upcoming games, Arc Rise Fantasia looks great.

Tales of Symphonia 2 will be around at some point, though its quality is still to be determined. Symponia was a pretty decent thing to burn time with the Gamecube on though. Right now, the Wii is RPG-light, mostly due to all these casual party games and "how am I cooking?" simulators.
