By way of
Japanese blog Gemaga comes the news from
Namco that four new games in the
Tales series are headed to Japan. First off, prepare for the subways and buses of Tokyo to soon be filled with the sounds of a new original title for the DS,
Tales of Innocence, due in Japan this winter. PS2 owners will get a title based on
Tales of Destiny and Wii owners will waggle through a game based on
Tales of Symphonia. We're assuming these will be sequels or at least significantly different, as
ToD was released for PS2 already in 2006 and
ToS is available on GameCube.
Japaese PSPs will be getting a port of
Tales of Rebirth, released for the PS2 in Japan in 2004. The newly wide-screen game is set to release in early 2008. We have no idea if you'll ever play any of these outside of Japan, but
Tales games have been fairly consistent about coming to North America, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

I'm going to pick up Tales of Symphonia and MP2:E real soon.

I just got my copy of Tales of Eternia for PSP a few days ago and its pretty good. I played Tales of Phantasia GBA which I liked a lot, and tried to play Tales of Symphonia for gamecube which bored me. Tales of the Abyss bored me as well.
in other words, this series is all over the place for me, but I'll still probably check all of these out if they come here

"We're assuming these will be sequels or at least significantly different, as ToI was released for PS2 already in 2006 and ToS is available on GameCube."
Tales of Innocence was never released on the Playstaion 2 since its a new game. Do you mean Tales of Legendia?
Rinshu @ Jul 20th 2007 10:00AM
Im pretty sure there hasnt been a Tales gamed called "Tales of Innocence" release before as stated above. TOI is an original title for the DS.
BPM @ Jul 20th 2007 10:23AM
I think he meant ToD on PS2, which it was. Just last year, even.
Justin McElroy @ Jul 20th 2007 12:01PM
Indeed I did, thanks for the spot, guys/gals.

Can someone answer whether an earlier Tales of Destiny ever made it to US PSPs? Also weren't there additional PS2 remakes of the originals on their way or did they just hit Japan?
Airen @ Jul 20th 2007 10:53AM
The only Tales game that hit US PSPs was Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology.
As for the PSP in general, they've made Tales of Eternia, Tales of Destiny 2 and Tales of Phantasia for the PSP. The DS only got Tales of the Tempest before.
Agathos @ Jul 20th 2007 10:57AM
So if I wanted to play these do they have english dialog and will they play on a US PSP...? Any links w info in importing for PS2/PSP?
Agathos @ Jul 20th 2007 10:58AM
Per my below question... are these importable...?
penas @ Jul 20th 2007 11:13AM
awesome TOS2! lets hope at least that one come to the US
teh_bear @ Jul 20th 2007 11:17AM
No tales for the PS3 :(
Not good enough yet.
Blanko4 @ Jul 20th 2007 11:27AM
Finally. I've been waiting for a Tales game for the Ninty console. This made my day.
JodyAnthony @ Jul 20th 2007 11:30AM
tales of phantasia GBA is your friend
bm @ Jul 20th 2007 1:30PM
GC Symphonia and the GBA games don't count?
Baker1000 @ Jul 20th 2007 11:54AM
Whatever happened to Tales of the Tempest outside of Japan on DS??
archerboy @ Jul 21st 2007 6:27PM
I heard it was really crappy (look up the famitsu score); I'm glad if we get the ToI instead of it.
Beoulve @ Jul 28th 2007 10:40PM
After playing Tales of the Tempest, I can say it's not a bad game per se, just not really on par with other Tales games. It's really short and not much of a challenge, but it was still fun while it lasted, and they do put a surprising amount of detail into the graphics for a DS game.
I'm not sure if it'll come to the US, but you never know. Besides, it's always importable otherwise.
WiNG @ Jul 20th 2007 12:15PM
I have only ever seen the japanese Tales of Phantasia on SNES, it looked awesome. Are the sequels like it?
Rob Accomando @ Jul 20th 2007 12:21PM
yes! An RPG for the Wii. Oh wait... Japan only. Typical.
Mo @ Jul 20th 2007 1:28PM
Oh sweet, one of my favorite GC games had been Tales of Symphonia. So I will be looking forward to the Wii game, and I am going to pickup the PS2's Tales of Abyss.
Lewis @ Jul 20th 2007 2:27PM
Tales of Symphonia is one of my Fav. gamecube Games ever
Stubbs @ Jul 20th 2007 5:05PM
I would really love to see the tales games on the european market... so far we only have tales of eternia, tales of symphonia(for the 'cube), and tales of phantasia(gba).. soo...uuhmm.... pretty please??
mike @ Jul 20th 2007 9:07PM
I loved tales of symphonia for my gamecube. would love to see a sequel for it. I would of course prefer it for my 360 which has better graphics and achievements to keep me 100%ing the game, but My brother owns a wii, so i'll just burrow that from him to play the game until I beat it. I just hope its a normal game and doesent involve any of those stupid wii motion movements.
