Tales of Vesperia voice actor says game is coming to Wii [update: Oops! He meant Tales of Graces!]

November 7th, 2009 at 06:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

[Update: Abyssal Chronicles has updated their story, reporting that Mr. Koyama has updated his original blog post with the following clarification: "When I mentioned being on sale for the Wii, I meant Tales of Graces, and not Tales of Vesperia! I truly apologize to everyone for the misunderstanding!!!!" Well, we can see how that would be confusing. You'll find our original post below.]

Lock the doors and board up the windows, folks. Considering the seismic backlash to the announcement that the (formerly) 360-exclusive Tales of Vesperia would be coming to the PS3, we fear for what might happen when this story gets out. Japanese voice actor Rikiya Koyama, who provided the voice for Vesperia’s pseudo-antagonist Duke, recently mentioned on his blog that, “Tales of Vesperia is coming out on one thing after another: Xbox 360, then PS3, and now upcoming, goes on sale even on the Wii.”

While this may deeply excite RPG-loving Wii owners, keep in mind that it’s entirely possible Koyama meant to say Tales of Graces, the franchise’s next installment which is, in fact, coming to the Wii. Just think about that before you start snapping the pieces of your already-snapped 360 Vesperia disc in protest. Those edges can get pretty sharp.

Namco Bandai considering Tales of Vesperia sequel

October 18th, 2009 at 03:00pm Under Xbox 360

During an event celebrating the recent theatrical release of Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike in Japan, Namco Bandai’s Makoto Yoshizumi said there is a strong internal desire to develop a sequel to Xbox 360 and PlayStation Tales of Vesperia. According to Yoshizumi, staff have questioned whether a Vesperia 2 is in the publishers future, leaving him to jokingly respond, “Don’t talk like a fan!” “We’re thinking about it,” he told press during the creator discussion in Japan’s Shinjuku district.

According to the panel, Vesperia’s story is far from over as Namco Bandai is already brainstorming ideas if the opportunity for a new film in the series arises. “I don’t know when it will happen, but we’d like to show [these things] in video form,” Namco Bandai’s general manager told those in attendance. Hopefully Namco Bandai will release a potential sequel for all platforms simultaneously, otherwise we may have a repeat situation of angry Japanese gamers on our hands.

Tales of Vesperia costumes offered as a Tales of Graces pre-order bonus

October 14th, 2009 at 05:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

If Xbox gamers feel betrayed enough to destroy their discs and burn magazines over the PS3 port of Tales of Vesperia, how are they going to react to news that costumes from Vesperia are also no longer exclusive, appearing in the Wii’s Tales of Graces? Will they stand for this minor outrage?

Given away as a download code on a pre-order bonus DVD, the costumes enable players to dress Aspel, Sophie, and Cheria as Yuri, Patty, and Rita. Look forward to some angry message board posts featuring a spurned gamer giving a ruthless thumbprint to his Xbox disc, or throwing it straight in the garbage, then pulling it out and cleaning it.

Famitsu unveils Tales of Vesperia PS3 bonus content

June 23rd, 2009 at 09:30pm Under PSP

That guy in the picture? He’s saying “damn, I wish I’d waited and bought the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperi a, instead of the 360 version.” That’s because he’s just read the latest Famitsu and found out about all the cool extras that will be included with the game when it hits the PS3 later this year. This includes new Giganto Monsters and new areas of the world for them to inhabit, such as additional dungeon and desert environments.

Those who pre-order in Japan will also receive a redemption code for downloadable costumes from another game in the series, Tales of the Abyss. Not only that, but people who buy both Vesperia and the upcoming PSP Tales of VS will get even more goodies, as each game will include a password which will activate new content in the other.
