Meh.... the interest for that game probably dropped a long time ago... with the news of how buggy the original was... and the comming of nint backed RPG gems... oops, not in the US =D


Well the original wii version had a revision with most bugs fixed.

But even going on trial for murder and being aquited ruins a career, a life...

? wha

bad news doesn't really wash off.

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,

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Don't panic. I'm 99% sure they will annouce Wii U version of Graces at TGS and it will be released alongside Graces f PS3 in west.
Otherwise they wouldn't need to wait till summer 2012 to release PS3 version.

Kinda does most fans dont even know that graces was buggy like that.



As far as lies go this is a quite stupid one...

Would have been easier to just say - "We don't want to make Wii games"

Probably would have got less abuse too. Seriously. If Nintendo don't even want to offer the Wii meaningful support, then why should 3rd parties take the risks?

If you want JRPGs (Or RPGs in general), go buy a PS3 and/or a 360.



                            

Now I remember how people used to call them Scamco.

Funny thing is Tales of Graces was my most wanted game for months. I really wanted to play a jrpg. The good thing is that in all that time I managed to play western rpgs and I'm glad I did.



Also regardless if their lying or not why should they have to tell us every detail about why one of their products isn't released? we are customers not business partners i don't really get why fans seemed entitled to so much info about something like that, you never know there could be truth in what he said, and he just didn't feel the need to go to deep with it considering its their business.

If they have nothing better to say, don't say anything.

That, is their problem.

yea maybe, but it seems like fans trip a bit to much on what these people say, if someone asks you a question and you cant go into full detail why not give them something?
