Namco trademarks newest Tales name in North America
Fans of the Tales series, it would appear the possibility of the latest DS title, Tales of Hearts, to come to North America has become a bit more plausible. Thanks to Spencer over at Siliconera, we have word that Namco has trademarked the term for North America? Coincidence? We think not!
So, it would seem that eventually the game should be making its way to our shores. Until then, we'll just sit back, relax and wait for an official announcement.

Great! One less worry. Now let's have Tales of Innocence next please :)

I'll need an actual announcement from Namco before I believe it.

Same reason we're not playing Chrono Break right now.

I want Innocence more than I want this.

Unfortunately, we may have gotten our hopes up prematurely. I clicked on the Siliconera article and one of the commenters there indicated that Tales of Innocence had also been trademarked in NA some time ago. It would seem that Nippon-Banzai...erm, Namco-Bandai is just paranoid about their properties' titles being stolen and not planning to release Tales of Hearts here.

Oh, those bastards...
Who's up for an internet petition to force Namco-Bandai to release their DS Tales games-- No, all the Tales games they haven't released here? Because I want to play Rebirth even if it IS for PSP... :/
