It's about time.


Nintendo of Europe has announced that it will be releasing Tales of Phantasia for the Game Boy Advance towards the end of the first quarter of 2006. Though the title started a gaming phenomenon with its original release on the Super Famicom, spawning a series with more than a dozen entries, it has never seen release outside of Japan.

The first game in Namco's Tales series has been released on three consoles: first on the Super Nintendo (called the Super Famicom in Japan) in 1995; then Sony's PlayStation in 1998, with a rerelease as part of the PlayStation The Best series in 2000; and lastly, the Nintendo Game Boy Advance in 2003. Despite the news of a European release, word of a North American release remains nonexistent. RPGamer would like the thank reader Kat_Ears_Kahrain for the tip.

I thought it came out on the European PSX?

I'll just import it. GBA doesn't have region coding, so I'll be satisfied.

It'll be interesting how they translate certain scenes, that's for sure :D

I still prefer the PSX version over the GBA one though :p

Haha, the comment about Arche screwing (in lieu of the correct word) like a tiger will be changed, along with the scene where she falls asleep at the table. :joey:

Anyway, this is good news.

The former scenerio was just a "bad" translation on DeJap's part. The passing-out at the table scene, however, will more than likely be changed.

Never thought it would happen. It's time to consider translating Rebirth, too (and if Tales of the Abyss isn't released here, I swear I'll...I'll...complain a lot! - like it means much, anyway).
