Atari announced that there are no plans for a European release of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. They gave no reasons for this decision, but the author of the news thinks that the bad sales in America could be jointly responsible for this decision.

EDIT: There are also no plans for a European release of Klonoa: Door of the Phantomile

thoughts?

Let me be the first to say, that f***ing sucks.

I'm sorry, IT'S NOT ATLUS, IT'S ATARI!

Bad sales in America? It'll overtake Japan's sales within 1-3 weeks...

This doesn't shock me at all. Europe is seen as a backwater market for the console games publishers. Even though it's the fastest expanding market for the past few years, the added costs of the european taxes, PAL convertion, and having each different country in the EU making it's own laws about electronic hardware and software, makes it a bit of a turn down for most publishers, and even those who release their games around here, it's almost always a few months after their japanese and U.S release.

Has been since the NES days, and it's going to be for a long, long time

What bad sales in America? It's selling pretty well for a Tales title, I believe.

WHAT?
So now, which one do I import? English or japanese version?
Tough choice.
And will it recognise my european save from ToS?

Probably it won't, that sucks.
But if you understand Japanese, I'd say go with that version. I believe the voice acting is better and the opening song is a lot better, IMO.

You've got to be kidding. I've been waiting for this game for ages! Why the hell do they keep giving us Europeans and Australians the shaft? Especially Australians, though :x

Well guess this will be my first game I download from the internet then since they don't want my money... idiots.
