In his own personal blog, voice-actor Rikiya Koyama writes that Tales of Vesperia, one of the latest of the Tales series to hit the 360 and PS3 (in Japan), will also be getting a Wii release. He has taken part in Tales of Vesperia by voicing Duke in the game, a distant and mysterious character who can be looked at as a friend or a foe. Koyama also makes a small note of the animated film based on the events before the game, of which his character wasn't included in. Whilst it isn't an official confirmation, a Wii port does in fact seem likely, with Namco-Bandai looking to better popularize Tales of Vesperia, and they can sure use the cash (reports of the first half of their fiscal year claim a near $70 million loss).

On his official blog, the actor writes, "Tales of Vesperia is coming out on one thing after another: Xbox 360, then PS3, and now upcoming, goes on sale even on the Wii. More shortly, the feature film anime version is also opening in theaters (But, I, I'm not in it...), and after that, there's also a CD."

It's possible the voice actor confused Tales of Vesperia with Tales of Graces — there are a lot of Tales to keep straight!
