Namco announces new Tales entries for Wii, PSP, and DS
Namco Bandai had a press conference in Japan, and one of the topics covered was the future of the successful video game franchise Tales. According to them, four separate projects are currently in development with three of them being original entries. The last one, on the other hand is a port of a PlayStation 2 Tales title.
DS. Nintendo DS owners will have a new game titled Tales of Innocence and should be available this coming winter.
Wii. Wii owners can look forward to a new game as well. No title has been given but it was mentioned by Namco Bandai that it is basing it on Tales of Symphonia.
PSP. PlayStation Portable owners will also be getting some Tales fun – complete with a Three-Line Linear Motion for its battle system. The developer is planning to port PS2 game Tales of Rebirth which was originally released back in 2004. But critics, be silent! Yes, this is “just” a port, but PSP owners shouldn’t sulk because Rebirth was truly a good game.
It was also said that the new Tales of Rebirth will have wide screen support and a new gallery mode. It should be available next year, but no concrete release date was mentioned.
PS2. The last game is for PS2 and is a new game as well that is based from Tales of Destiny.
It’s not yet clear if these titles will make it outside of Japan.
Update: After this article was posted, we came across more details about Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk for the Wii and Tales of Symphonia: Innocence for the DS. You can read that article here at QJ.NET.
