Back in the Gamecube days, I owned a little game titles Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D Revolution, and it was pretty addictive. The game was basically Phantasy Star Online but as a grid based strategy RPG using Cards. The play had a choice between playing as the Heroes which summoned weapons, or the Arkz which summoned monsters. The purpose was to attack your opponent directly and take all of his/her hit points. The game was pretty solid albeit dated graphically, but thats exactly why we need a sequel.
PSO C,A,R.D Revolution had a versus mode but it had one major gamebreaking flaw if you wanted to play against another human opponent, rather than alongside them. The game was cardbased, and all of your cards were clearly visible onscreen as you take turns in versus mode. This can easily be remedied in a sequel, because if they release it for the Wii U, the players will have their own screens. Also if they release it on the 3DS, the players also have their own screens with less incentive to look atthe other's screen to cheat. My question is why isn't this game already in development? Is there really nobody at SEGA who looked at the Wii U and thought "hey this word be perfect for C.A.R.D Revolution"? Nobody? Or has nobody at Nintendo noticed this and said "Get SEGA on the phone!"
I would love to see a sequel to this with online gameplay returning (yes it was an online Gamecube game), more weapons, and some kind of miiverse connectivuty and leaderboards. I know it would happen, but a guy can dream, right?
