Wii Tales game not coming over to the West; We might get to see HD re-imaginings of past Tales games

Posted By | On 04th, Jul. 2011

Namco Bandai says they will not be localizing the Wii version of Tales of Graces, since “it would be next to impossible to condense all the game’s data on a Wii disc.”

“We wish to deliver the best and most complete experience for US and European fans, therefore we’re localizing Tales of Graces f,” Makoto Yoshizumi told Kingdom of Tales.

“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.”

However, when asked if there will be any chance of revamping the older games in the series, Yoshizumi said, ““This is something we would like to do and we are currently working to see if it would be possible to port older Tales games: Phantasia, Destiny, or Eternia, not only in Japan, but throughout the world.

“However, I still can’t give much information about this. We are still discussing about whether this project can be done and on which game console those ports would be made.”
