Forums - Nintendo - So TOS2 was succesful, Namco wants to continue tales series on the Wii

July 8, 2008 - Namco's Tales series appears to be on a collision course with one console in particular: the Wii. At a press conference held in Tokyo on Monday, Tales series manager Makoto Yoshizumi revealed that the firm is now developing a new Tales game for the Wii. The new game will be the main title for the series for fiscal 2009.

Wii isn't new to Tales, of course, with Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World having just hit the system in Japan a couple of weeks back. Unlike that sequel, though, the new game will be comparable to a Tales of Destiny or Tales of Fantasia in terms of standing. As Yoshizumi said, it will be a "mothership" title in the series.

No details were shared on the new game, as the focus of the press conference was on new Tales titles for the PSP and DS, and some non-gaming developments for the series as a whole.

And I thought there'll be new big news before E3 :)

Well, this has made my day. This was inevitable, though. Tales game have always gone to the most successful console (save for TOS). Hopefully we'll get some more news on this game soon. At TGS, perhaps?

 TGS just seems more appropiate for tales.

 Don't get your hopes up to high. E3 isn't as big as it was last year.

apparently not, but we'll have to wait till E3 itslef to see how big or small it really is. Chances are it won't be as big as 06 or 07 though.

It seems no one else cares about this. If soriku was online, i'm sure he would be jumping with joy at this news, though.
