New Tales of VS. Trailer

PSP by Shawn

The Tales of VS. trailer from the recent Tales of Festival in Japan has been released. 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.

The trailer shows off all of the currently revealed characters, such as Yuri from Tales of Vesperia. It then cuts into footage of the game in action, showing off basic attacks, Artes, and the environmental traps revealed a while back, which are much like the ones found in games like the Super Smash Bros. series. Shots from the menus are also shown, including the area where you can give new skills and increase your character's stats. The trailer finishes off by showing some scenes from the game's opening video.

Tales of VS. is due to be released in Japan on August 6th. No North American release date has currently been announced, although Namco Bandai has filed trademarks for both this game and Tales of Graces (Graces also is trademarked in Europe).

The video can be found in the full story.

New Tales of Graces Trailer

GracesWii by Shawn

The Tales of Graces trailer from the recent Tales of Festival in Japan has been released. This game is the first mothership (Namco Bandai's term for non-spin-off games in the Tales of series) game for the Wii. The previous Tales of game for the Wii, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, was classified as a spin-off sequel.

This trailer shows off Asbel running across the towns and dungeons in the game (all outside, however), then shifting to showing off the new Shift Style LMBS using Asbel and SoPhie, as well as the use of the new Around Step mechanic. The trailer finishes with some select story scenes from the game.

From our perspective, the game seems to take ideas from Team Destiny games such as the recent Tales of Destiny remake on the PlayStation 2, with Asbel being able to create 16-hit chains in only a few seconds. Aerial attacks are also included alongside the usual ground attacks. Tales of Graces is set to be released in Japan in Q4 2009. No North American release date has currently been announced.

The trailer can be found in the full story.
