Namco Bandai has announced that they have four new “Tales Of…” games in the making. Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 will be released on the PSP, while Tales of Graces F and Next Tales may release on the PS3.
• Tales of Graces F (or Tales of Graces Future) will have a new story episode after the ending of Tales of Graces. The story will take place approximately 1 and a half years after the ending of Tales of Graces and covers the lingering mysteries left in the original story. Tales of Graces Future will also include additional costumes, improved HD visuals, and new combat skills.
• Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 will have 80 characters from the Tales series with 76 of them being playable, all are fully customizable. A budgeted re-release of Radiant Mythology 2 will be released on September 29, for 2800 yen.
• Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X and Next Tales are both tentative titles which are sure to live up to the brand name quality that so many gamers have grown to love.

I just want to inform/remind you guys that these games will be 1st released in Japanese and may see a re-release in English if reception and budgeting deem it a grand idea. Its times like these that importing games and console modification became the greatest ideas since toilet paper and soap!

DDR-ers just danced a jig because news of Konami leaking a little information of a possible Dance Dance Revolution game coming to the Playstation 3. The news of the DDR port came from a Japanese publishers Facebook page, where apparently a picture was posted with a comment of, “Yes, DanceDanceRevolution fans, it’s true—we’re bringing DDR to the PS3! And we’re bringing YOU to the launch party. Thursday evening, August 12, in LA. Join us in person, on Twitter, or on Facebook for exclusive, interactive, fan-friendly, multiplayer Music & Motion fun. Stay tuned for more exciting details.”

Well I don’t think I need to tell you but for the sake of it there’s a planned August 12th release party in L.A., no news of where the party will be held, but I do hope there is punch and pie. What? A party isn’t a party without punch and pie. Also no news yet of any new dance mats nor the game being ported over to the Xbox 360, nor the Wii, nor any other devices but we’ll keep you posted.
