Let me get this straight.
ToS Wii is a proper sequel made by the Legendia group (boo-urns) with a point-and-click overworld? The overworld doesn't sound like an entirely bad thing in retrospect, considering the 3D Tales overworlds are pretty barren; it doesn't look as nice though.
And Drohne has a sandy vagina?

Aside from Square-Enix, who's really made the leap? Konami only recently started throwing more weight behind it. Capcom is still mainly Phoenix Wright and Megaman.

Capcom's games are great in terms of quality, but they haven't put any major new stuff on the DS compared to a lot of other companies that have seriously shifted dev priorities to it.
BrodiemanTTR said:
Square Enix is the biggie, obviously, but other companies certainly have as well. Sega's putting Sonic RPG by BioWare on there, which is pretty damned big, plus Sakura Taisen, more Sonic... Tecmo's got Ninja Gaiden, and they also announced that mystery adventure game and Monster Rancher at that big DS-centric press conference they held. Scamco's got Tales and a CyberConnect2 game. Konami's got Contra.
Plus there's Level 5. They picked the DS for their first publishing enterprise and made a trilogy out of it, so that's pretty major.

How about a 2D sidescrolling dual screened Okami DS? Imagine the glorious meltdowns!
inti didn't do a great job with ZX, I'm hoping ZXA is better. Stock Trader I've been interested in but it's another graphical text adventure. Every major Japanese publisher has put a major franchise on the DS so I'd like to see Capcom try something they aren't willing do a next-gen sequel for, maybe a new Bionic Commando?Bebpo said:

I'd just ask for a new IP from Capcom. Knowing them, they'd probably deliver.
Althogh, Okami DS would be rather nice.

After seeing a game like Super Mario Galaxy running on the Wii, the graphics here are a little underwhelming... art direction is nice though. If Namco is able to dish out some great wii controls then I think i'll give the game a chance.

I think Bioware's marketplace presence is a bit exaggerated, and Sonic isn't exactly mr. popularity either anymore.
Tales of Symphonia 2 is one ****ing hideous game. Scamco strikes again. I don't get it - Nintendo made the transition to Wii about as easy as it gets for developers. It's a Gamecube with faster clock speeds and more RAM. So why the **** are games looking identical or in some cases, uglier, than their predecessors, nine months in? It's mind-boggling that barely any Wii games come close to equalling the graphics of Starfox Adventures, a Gamecube game released less than a year after launch (five years ago now!) than was ported up from the Nintendo 64 in the first place.
Or are they still getting it into their thick heads that Wii is the fastest growing next-gen platform? That this is a fact is no thanks whatsoever to the quality of software it's seen so far.

Konami throwing weight behind the DS? :lol DS isn't getting the next R-type or the next Silent Hill or the next Castlevania. DS is getting an outsourced Contra and that's it.

The last Castlevania the DS got was Portrait of Ruin... which was, quite frankly, a piece of shit.
Also, I just realized Kokia is singing for the DS Tales.
HOLY ****ING CRAP! OMG <3 KOKIA <3

They created a shittyvania with shitty art and then proceeded to announce the ultimate Castlevania collection for the PSP topped off with new Ayami art. That's kind of shitty (and backstabish) support if you ask me.
But this thread isn't about Castlevania. This is about Tales WOOO!

Contra 4 isn't quite an outsourced project. It's been a Konami US division project, proposed and led by Tomm Hulett. (He personally wanted to do it on the Wii, but Konami greenlighted it as a DS game.) Only the coding was outsourced.

Wait a second has it been confirmed that the Legendia Team is working on TOS2? I thought that they split up!
And if it's true, then what the hell is Team Symphonia doing?!

Team MelFes did split up, but what we know so far:
- The Soul Calibur producer is in charge of the battle system.
- According to the Namco web site [and jarrod
] ToS2 [don't get mad kiryogi ] and Sword of Legendia are 2 separated games.Chris Michael said:
No, it was not. You didn't like it/enjoy it... fine... but it was definitely not a POS...
Chris Michael said:
And this is getting tired... Yeah, Kojima designs are way better than the anime chartacters of the 2 DS games, but it wouldn't have made a freaking difference in the sprites or even in the intros of the games, it would not have affected the quality of the titles... if you think PoR was shitty, not even Kojima's work would have made it better (Kojima's work didn't stop LoI and CoD from sucking)... so stop with the stupid complaints, get a PSP... is not "backstabbing" at all, they are "sharing" the franchise and trying to wider the audience [just like they did when the artwork changed from the GBA games to the DS ones]. The DS will be getting another game, don't worry about that...

I always get the impression that portables always come second to consoles. Some third parties not jumping on the DS yet isn't an indication that it would take them as long to do so on the Wii, I don't think.BrodiemanTTR said:

Aokage said:This is one of the most spectacular images I have ever seen.
Not just because of the flowchart, but because the image really does claim the DS is all about lots of anime FMV, voice acting, beautiful sound and visuals, and epic, high drama. Yeah, that's exactly how I'd sum up the DS.
It was time. The DS phenomenon is clear since 1 year at least.
Note that the Wii is not in that chart (for now).

Well, if you're going to give development duties on an RPG to an outside team, BioWare is certainly one of the top studios you could go to in terms of their quality... and yeah, market presence, too. Knights of the Old Republic was one of the best-selling RPGs last-gen, you know.
Saying Sonic isn't that popular is just weird. It's still Sega's best franchise. And Sonic RPG's one of the most significant games to come to it in quite a while. Maybe the franchise itself isn't as popular as franchises by other developers, like Dragon Quest, but that's not the point -- the point is that Sega's giving the best support Sega can give.
Chris Michael said:
Yup, Konami's support has been excellent of late. Two well regarded Castlevania games, GBA holdover support like Lunar Knights (again, a very well regarded game), and now Contra 4. That Konami has given really good games to the PSP also doesn't mitigate that it's giving excellent games to the DS, and it takes some kind of duncery to think that it does. As to R-Type, last I checked Konami isn't Irem but maybe that's changed in your world.

Well, what do we know info wise on the games so far? The impression I get is that innocence can possibly refer to childhood. Maybe ToI is a prequel detailing the main character of ToS Wii's early days - in which he had a slightly different haircut.GaimeGuy said:
Is it just me, or is the main character the same in ToS Wii and ToI?

I was talking about Contra 4 being pitched as a Wii game.
Mithos Yggdrasill said:
No.
Also, though I hate to channel Kiryogi, people really should stop calling it Tales of Symphonia 2. It's not. That makes it sound comparable to Tales of Destiny 2, which was a full-fledged main series entry... from all we're hearing and seeing, this isn't.
Between the subtitle, the point-and-click map, and the other unusual gameplay elements (monsters), this really seems like it'll be a Tales of the World-styled spinoff game, only keeping the original game's name instead of TotW.
That's fine and cool, and it could still be a good and fun RPG, but people need to look at it and expect a spinoff now, not "Tales of Symphonia 2 by Team Symphonia." It'll continue the story of the original (just like Summoner's Lineage took place after Phantasia) and retain some of the gameplay (free-run LMBS), but... yeah.
Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon
Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2
Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3
Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology
Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk
That's where the game needs to go and how it needs to be considered.

The situation in Japan seems fine.

Well, I wanted to point to the huge red arrow and it's deeper meaning of the general situation in Japan
EDIT: @ ethelred
I don't have anything against the DS (enjoying Etrian Odyssey right now), but I'm a little skeptical about main-titles going to the DS ^^
Unless you wrote this because I left out "gaming" in front of situation :lol

I'm more concerned about the fact it will be a low-budget game with a B-team behind it.
