Not a single Tales game for the ever popular DS. They did not bother to localize Tales of Vesperia for the PS3 this is slightly understandable if Eternal Sonata didn't do well sales-wise. Though it's Namco's own fault for not realizing that America revolves around advertising. How is this company still in business? Heck, I've even heard rumors of them filing for bankruptcy at one point?

They don't have enough money to localize games...and also, they kinda don't like to localize the Tales Of games for some reason.

Doesn't just about any Japanese manufacturer only sparsely bring out games for other regions and keep most for themselves?

Who knows... A localized Tatsunoko VS Capcom was the most unlikely thing, but it happened,

why not Tales of Vesperia?

I never did understand why they didn't put a Tales game on the DS for North American audiences.


If we can find Dragon Quest on the DS, you'd think there'd be a Tales game as well, but perhaps Namco are too poor to afford localization? Wonder what the big wigs are doing up in their offices... a big change needs to happend because it seems they're heading for a crash.

It's unfortunate, really. I really wanted Tales of Graces.

Well, there were actually 3 entries of the series released on ds exclusive to nipponland throughout the years...tales of the tempest, tales of innocence, and tales of hearts.

There was a full translation patch released literaly a week ago for tales of innocence. Im pretty sure tales of hearts translation is in progress right now. And im really not sure of anything about tales of the tempest.

But you must have a certain unspeakable something to be able to play these games with the patch on your ds.:o
