Earlier this month, Amazon.com accidentally leaked some information about a possible Tales of the Abyss 3DS release in North America. Thanks to Nintendo Power, that rumor can now be validated, as a localization has just been announced.
Tales of the Abyss was originally released on the PS2 on December 15, 2005 and was localized in North America on October 10, 2006. The game was regarded as an improvement over Tales of Symphonia, extending that game's multi-line battle system into a battle system which allows players to freely move about the field in battle.
Namco Bandai will be releasing the game in Japan next month on June 30, but Nintendo Power's article doesn't list any date for the North American release. The article also confirms that the unvoiced skits in the PS2 version will remain unvoiced due to difficulties in rounding up the original voice actors.
Last month, we brought word that Tales of the Abyss for the Nintendo 3DS was delayed due to uncertain circumstances likely stemming from the recent earthquakes and tsunamis that affected the region. Namco Bandai has finally revealed the new release date for the title, and it's not too far off from the original date.

The game will now be released on June 30, just over a month shy of the original May 19 release date. Even though some possible leaks have surfaced as of late, Namco Bandai hasn't officially announced any localization plans for the title.
It's been almost two years in the making, but Absolute Zero Translations has finally released their fan translation patch for Tales of Innocence, after stating earlier last month that they were on track for a late June 2010 release.
The website has all of the instructions on how to patch the game with the translation (you need your own copy, however, the download only includes the patch), as well as a detailed listing of the terminology used throughout the game.
For those wanting to comment about the release, we'll defer to the existing thread on Absolute Zero Translations's forum.
