Maybe because back in November was when Nintendo were releasing Mario games for the 3DS.

tempted to pick it up, if they have it in stock at the local target.
Ugh, I've never seen it in stores during all this time. If I knew I would've hunted it down for sure :/
Hopfully I can find it somewhere tomorrow

If you haven't played it and enjoy Tales of games, then yes.
it's considered one of the better ones in the series from what i'm told. and yes, i think it'll be limited.

That's a good idea I guess. I just dont have a 3DS yet, I just knew this was gonna be super rare like all Tales games in the UK and wanted to buy it and save it for when I had a 3DS...
...but 3 weeks of searching at launch got me nothing except inflated ebay prices.
EDIT: lovefilm don't rent this game. Well that's that.

Hmm, pass. I played it on the PS2 and I really have no desire to do it again, especially with no extra content.
I guess this will be the first English Tales game I've not bought. Whoa.

Bad timing, Namco. The same week as the Vita launch? Really?
I would have been interested in playing this again too (played the JP version originally so I'm curious how the localization turned out). Where was this game a few months ago? It shouldn't have been that difficult to release. :\

Picked it up this morning, just got into it a bit before I go back to studying. Werent there lyrics in the opening for the PS2 version? I distinctly remember there being lyrics, but it's not really a big deal. The most important thing is reduced load times, it's pretty much instantaneous!
Yeah, there were lyrics originally.

There's the original opening.
I think you're drastically overestimating the impact of the Vita launch in the US on... pretty much anything.

UK folks, if you have a Grainger Games near you check it out. One of the employees in the Liverpool store said they get loads in for some reason.
It's in stock on their website, too. Not cheap though.

I consider it the worst. Don't want to harp on it, but out of all the PS2 jrpgs I played (which was pretty much all of them) it by far left me with the worst memories. There were games that were worse, and I stopped playing them. This game kept me playing in the hope it would get good, which it didn't, which is why I hate it so much.
Not a lot of options on the 3ds, so by all means jump in if you want a jrpg, but be warned! The fixed load times will at least help a lot

Wow, I don't remember the load times on PS2 being THAT bad.
It's been a while since I played it, though.

Picked up my copy today! Quick superior load times make Tales of the Abyss 3D best Tales!

Yeah, that's where I saw it today (Huddersfield). (I was looking for a copy of Sonic Generations, bastards still have it at £20)
I'm talking about it personally. I doubt my 3DS will be getting any love for a while at this point (still gotta finish Revelations, though, which is fantastic).
I'm more likely to pick up the JP version of Innocence R for Vita instead.
I would have loved to have this game back in December when I was travelling in Europe but the 3DS isn't region free so I was kind of screwed. :\

Picked up my pre-order this morning. The guy at Gamestop said they received three copies. (For their three pre-orders)
Why is this a shock to some of you?
I was gonna snag Tekken as well until he said they were getting eight copies.
Edit: For those of you with 3DS. Tekken Prime MPOs are out.

Double Edit: Lyric-version is awful. Glad we retained the guitar-riff only version.

It should be clarified that only the Japanese version had the lyrical opening.
It was purely instrumental in the English version.

I'm playing a copy I got from Lovefilm at this very moment

Namco: "3DS userbase is starved for RPGs? OK, we'll port one of our old Tales games over... and then only print 5000 copies of it! MWAHAHAHAHA we're geniuses!!!!!"
the people that like tales games are probably going to be big vidya game nerds, so the same people that are going to look at getting the vita day 1
ah really? i hear differently from the other guys. guess i'll find out, lol
This happened to me within 5 minutes of ordering it. I tried to change the address, because I sent it to my home address and not my apartment for school, and it was already shipping soon. Guess I'll have to get it when I go back for spring break lol.

Trojita will be doing an OT for NA version.
Just started playing it a bit. Am surprised at how decent the 3d is for a cheap 3d convert.
And god... when was the last time a game had snappy menus???
Not a huge fan of the word bubbles popping out though.

i think i remember reading that Bamco undershipped the EU copies and it's really hard to find now.
just checked Amazon UK and they don't even have it. you got resellers tho.

Heh this reminder came too late, was in a EB Games earlier and would have picked it up had known. Oh well, I have to go out later tonight maybe I'll get it then. Heard so much about this game over the years I'd love to check it out.

thanks for the heads up. Wasn't planning on getting it yet, but if it's a limited print I might as well.

I picked my copy up tonight, but I have to prepare for a presentation tomorrow.
Remember that if you want to do a 100% complete first playthrough, just look at a Sidequest FAQ or something, because the sidequests are never explicitly mentioned.

How is this any different than the PS2 version? Other than being portable obviously. I hear the 3D is bad in the game.
