The company has just added former Codie Catherin Fowler, former 2K exec Graeme Bayless and Atari honcho Robert Stevenson to executive positions between which neither you nor we appreciate the distinction. All said they looked forward to being blasted on forums as "somehow less respectful of the art of anime than 4Kids." And that's saying something.

It's a little too late for that.

That's still such a fun game.

Maybe they'll actually localize some more of the "Tales of" games.
(Localize the DS games please)

Hey....
How about you
LOCALIZE THE PS3 VERSION OF VESPERIA ALREADY
Or will you be assholes like you did with the PS2 version of Symphonia?

Right. You want success...so you appoint a former Atari exec?
Am I the only one who sees something wrong with that?

Dear new North American Namco Bandai execs... please localize to the NA market...
1. Gundam Operation Troy for the 360
2. Gundam Senki for the PS3
3. Tales of Vesperia PS3
Thanks :)

I remember playing the Gundam game for the 360 in E3 2006. It was cool even though it was super buggy, the infantry controls were poor and battlefields were plain.
I believe it was a GM mobile suit that was featured in the demo. Friend of mine is pissed off about the game not being released as am I. He changed his name from Johnny Ridden then he tried to change it back but someone had already claimed it.
I'd love to see From Software handle a Gundam game. The Chromehounds explosion particle effects were amazing. I can already imagine a Zaku being destroyed.
