On why Graces on Wii isn’t coming over:

“We wish to deliver the best and most complete experience for US and European fans, therefore we’re localizing Tales of Graces f. The game on the PS3 version is on a blu-ray disc. It would be next to impossible to condense all the game’s data on a Wii disc, so unfortunately, there will be no Wii release.”

Tales of Graces Wii = 3.8 GB

Tales of Graces PS3 = 6.85 GB

Wii dual layer disc = 8.5 GB

Yup, it really wouldn't fit. lol Namco.

Not that we didn't know about it. The moment they said that Tales of graces F was getting localized, it was just too obvious. No way a third party company will be spending resources on a Wii game, when not either the HW manufacturer things it's worthwile. Nintendo themselves are setting the example that it's useless to make a core game. This is a great strategy as we get closer to the Wii U launch, I mean devs will be thrilled to launch or make core games for a console that apparently can't sell enough copies of a game on a 40+ million userbase. I'm sure they will chose Wii U over 360/HD...

@Soriku: Why has all your optimism about all these games making it here faded away so suddenly? You've argued with anyone who believed that neither Xenoblade, The Last Story nor ToG were ever gonna make it here, even argued with me that Zangeki had chances to get localized. I guess you will be more cautious next time, as the signs about them not coming were alarmingly obvious,
