Two Classic Characters Return For Resident Evil 5's Mercenaries Reunion
17 hours 21 mins ago
Bandai Namco announced four new titles in development bearing the "Tales" logo, including the sequel to the Gamecube/PS2 title Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Symphonia: Ratatoskr no Kishi for Nintendo Wii.
It's that time of the year again! Every so often, Bandai Namco gathers members of the press in Tokyo to confirm that all those peculiar "Tales of" names that have leaked through patent filings are indeed real games. The latest announcement meeting was held in Tokyo today.
Blogging live from the event, Japan's Gemaga reports that four titles were announced across a variety of platforms. However, the emphasis appears to be on the Nintendo side.
Following up on last year's Tales of the Tempest, DS owners can look forward to another original Tales game, Tales of Innocence. Developed by Alfa Systems, the title will see Japanese release towards the end of this year.
Wii isn't going to let the DS have the fun all to itself. Did you enjoy Tales of Symphonia on the GameCube or (later) the PS2? Then you'll want to check out Tales of Symphonia: Ratatoskr no Kishi. A direct sequel to Symphonia, this Wii-only title takes place in the same world, but two years later. A Japanese release is set for Spring 2008.
Sony systems are also getting some Tales, only through older titles. Tales of Destiny will be released on the PS2 as Tales of Destiny Director's Cut. Meanwhile, PSP will get a version of Tales of Rebirth. Both are set for Japanese release in early 2008.
We'll have more on the new Tales announcements in a bit, so RPG fans be sure and check back!

Unless Namco does some drastic changes to the Tales series, I don't think I'll be convinced enough to buy the upcoming Tales games for PS2 and DS. ToL and ToA were somewhat of disappointments to me
I hope they improve upon that, as I am guessing this is an early build. I am interested in the Wii game, but I want to find out more about it. I loved Tales of Symphonia. Also, Tales of Innocence looks fun. I heard that Tales of the Tempest, the previous DS game, was underwhelming, so I really hope this one isn't. I want a good real-time RPG for the DS.
it needs.
1. Violence (or Fun, this doesn't look like it)
2. it can't be ghey looking
3. and it can't be like kingdom hearts.
*Faints*
Tales of ... of Symphonia ... 2 ... 2 !?!?!
OMAGOD ! I'm speechless and it looks amazing ...my only complain is the new point-and-click overworld map. It eliminates part of the exploring if you ask me, but I'm not going to let it put me down at the moment, its still years off
