Yes Tales of the abyss is going to be on 3DS http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/09/29/tales_of_the_abyss_3ds/
I haven't played it, so it better get translated. Btw, i really hope this thing isn't fucking region locked. I had to import both DS SMT games just be able to buy them! (they didn't get a european release) And if i didn't play Devil Survivor via flashcarts first, i would of missed them completely... FAIL.
I bet you 50 dollars that, that Tales game won't have a European or NA release. NamcoBandai are fucking stupid for never releasing their Tales games over in NA or EUR. That, and everytime they do want to release it to other countries besides Japan, they decide it's a great idea to release it on the same day or within a week of another game's huge release.
Yeah, but Abyss was already translated for NA on the PS2. They wont have to do much rewriting for the 3DS game, depends on how much they recycled. They may release it again in the US only, to cater to the original fans. Games like these will never get to Europe, that's for certain. If the 3DS isn't region free (for at least retail games), my interest in it will suddenly drop somewhat.
The Tales Of Vesperia port on the PS3 (with extras) didn't come to the US. As I said, NamcoBandai are fucking stupid with Tales.
hey guess what u can get a flash cart cause with the auto updates u have to get connected to internet well just dont and it shouldnt block ur flash card or am i wrong
