Mario Kart 64 Becomes a RealityAnimal Crossing Wii/DS Region LockedC3 Wii Video Feature - ReminderInterview: Fire Emblem DSNintendo DS Japanese Line-up Video
Bandai Namco's Hideo Baba-san has exclusively confirmed to Cubed3 that Tales of Innocence will not be coming to the US or Europe. Speaking in an interview that will be published later this week on Cubed3 about Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, the Tales Brand Manager stated that despite fans being eager to get their hands on the fantastic DS RPG, "I'm sorry to say that there are currently no plans at this point."
So unless Nintendo sees fit to eventually strike up a deal late in the day, as it did with the much delayed release of Tales of Phantasia on the Game Boy Advance, chances are we will not be getting our hands on one of the best Tales RPGs in the long-running series.
Be sure to stick around for the full interview in the next couple of days...

Dang, luckily it's a quick fix by importing, but still. They really should realise that there's quite a big fanbase for the series over here!

Nah, it's been confirmed that the ToS sequel will be released here (for obvious reason).

Namco must stand for *idiot decisions* or something when translated.
Tales of Vesperia for the X360 for example is about the worse decision they could make for the franchise, when interviewed at np they'll say Symphonia still sells more than abyss and it's the biggest selling Tales game outside japan by far, blablabla. But all in reality, in the same month they go to another magazine saying that it is:
- by a secondary team
- most people in that team are new to tales
- poketales of symphonia, using copy, pasted Abyss monsters.
- ToS character designer wasn't available for ToS2, as they said on NP, but he was for Vesperia
- Vesperia will have a lot more FMV's
- Vesperia to define tales for the years to come
And what about ToS2? a game who could be done on GC, that puts the same towns the way they were modeled and textured 5 years ago changing only the wheater they're in. A stupid cash-in no less, and wow, nintendo got spit in the face again.
Way to go Namco, I wish I could boycott their games now. This crap has to stop.
If there's no resources for Innocence, Namco should make way for it, it's not like the poor guys are doing us a big service since forever, quite the contrary.

At the very least, this news is a boost to my Japanese studying, I'll play this one way or another.
