Where is the Switch Tales Game?

Back when the Switch was revealed, the Japanese website included the “Tales of” logo among its list of upcoming games.

A few months later, Bandai Namco’s financial report presentation listed a Tales game for the Switch among their plans for that fiscal year. For Bandai Namco, that means sometime before March 31, 2018.

I wasn’t the only one who expected an announcement during their December 16 broadcast, but it came and went without anything.

Now that we’re nearing the end of February, the end of March seems awfully close.

We never knew if the Switch Tales game would be a new entry or a port, but if it’s still planned for the time frame they initially said, a port or remaster seems most likely. They wouldn’t announce a new main entry without more time to promote it.

But if it’s a port, what of? Tales of Innocence R? Tales of Vesperia, like many fans are hoping after Bandai Namco’s recent Repede tweet? Tales of Berseria? Tales of Symphonia Chronicles?

Then again, at this point, maybe their plan has changed and we won’t see a Tales game on the Switch for a while yet.

What do you think? Will we hear about the Switch Tales game soon, and if so, what will it be?

Tales Broadcast Announced for December 16 (Switch Announcement?)

Bandai Namco has announced a “Tales Room” broadcast on December 16 to celebrate the series’ 22nd anniversary.

The broadcast will include a look back at 2017 as well as information about content currently in development.

This is exciting news, not only because we might get an announcement of the next Tales game, but also because we should find out what Tales game they’re bringing to the Switch.

Back in May, Bandai Namco announced that they were working on a Nintendo Switch Tales game for this fiscal year, but they haven’t said anything about it since. We don’t know if it will be a port, a remake, or the next mainline game.

On the other hand, they could use this broadcast to discuss the mobile games and nothing else. Still, if they plan to have a Tales game out for the Switch before the end of the fiscal year, you’d think they’d announce it soon.

What do you think? Will we learn what the Switch’s Tales game is on December 16? And what sort of game do you think it will be?

Tales of the Rays is Now Out!

Tales of the Rays, the mobile Tales game that actually looks like a Tales game, is now available in the West for iOS and Android devices.

I got it, although since it’s one of those games that requires an Internet connection to play, I haven’t gotten very far yet. However, so far it seems interesting.

A lot of fans wondered how the typical Tales combat system would work with a touchscreen, and Tales of the Rays uses a simplified system that lets you attack using taps and swipes.

It’s too early for me to judge the plot, but there definitely is an original story here. It seems as though the main characters, Ix and Mileena, will be visiting other worlds where past Tales characters live.

My track record with ongoing mobile games isn’t great. I quit Tales of Link, only played a little bit of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, and recently stopped playing even Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ, because I got tired of all the filler. But who knows! Maybe Tales of the Rays will be the one that holds my attention.

And a Tales of Zestiria event starts tomorrow in Tales of the Rays. Maybe I’ll be ready in time to participate in that.

Have you started Tales of the Rays? If so, what do you think of it so far?
