Another week, another set of Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave trailers. Usually we've just gotten character gameplay features, but this week we have a series of gameplay-related videos to look at.
Unlike the other Tales escort titles on the PSP, this game plays similarly to the Musou/Dynasty Warriors franchise with the player controlling one character with a partner character being controlled by the game's AI. Characters from the mothership titles (and surprisingly enough Tales of the Tempest) will be included.
Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave will be released in Japan on February 23, 2012 for the Sony PSP. No North American or European release has been announced.
At the start of the month we got magazine leaks revealing Tales of Legendia being one of the game included in the upcoming Sony PSP title Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave. This week we have three new scans revealing that Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny 2 and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World will be featured as well.

Stahn Aileron and Leon Magnus will be featured from Tales of Destiny, Kyle Dunamis and Reala will be featured from Tales of Destiny 2 and finally Emil Castagnier and Marta Lualdi from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

Earlier today was the second day of Tales of Festival 2010, but unlike yesterday there doesn't seem to be that much news coming, except for the rest of the popularity poll results and some other minor Tales news.
As we reported on earlier, Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be receiving a pre-order bonus DVD. The name of the DVD will be Dramatic DVD Tales of Costume!?. There's also rumours that an Asbel costume for Dio will be made available, which would make sense considering he appears on the DVD.

Earlier today was the first day of Tales of Festival 2010, which brought some new news along with it, along with partial results of the Tales of Popularity poll that was going on at Tales Channel earlier this year.
Namco Bandai has confirmed the rumors that Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be having demos. The first demo will hit in early July, which will focus on the improved battle system in the Tales of Phantasia part of the game. Later in the month, a second demo will hit which features the Narikiri Dungeon X portion of the game. The rumored August 5, 2010 release date was also confirmed at the event.
As for the rumored PS3 Tales game, known as Tales of Unitia, the game was a no-show at the Festival except for a mention that this Summer a "major" announcement would occur. It's unknown why they would push the unveiling that far, but they may be putting some extra polish on the game and didn't want to unveil it just yet.
More news as well as the results of the popularity polls can be found in the full story.
Asch (Tales of the Abyss) and Ruca Milda (Tales of Innocence) have been officially revealed to be in Tales of VS, as well as a new video showing off the combos in the game. The game will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.
Asch and Ruca's videos were the standard fare as far as character videos are concerned, showing off their attacks and combos, followed by their respective Mystic Artes at the end of the video. One of the more interesting updates, however, came from that character that fell on the index page a few updates ago. It appears it is a representation of the game's director. This section will be used as a Director's Corner, which will have specialized updates, most of which will be combo videos. The video available in this update shows the intricacies of the combo system in the game, which will take cues from the previous Tales of games.
More information, as well as the videos, can be found in the full story.
Cress Albane (Tales of Phantasia) and Leon Magnus (Tales of Destiny) have been officially revealed to be in Tales of VS. The game will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.
Nothing big seemed to be revealed in either video, although both do show off their own respective Mystic Artes. Cress attacks much like he did in Tales of Phantasia, and Leon's Mystic Arte is very flashy and detailed (since he is one of the most popular characters over in Japan), being one of the longer Mystic Artes without an extension (Anise Tatlin being an example) in the game.
