Namco Bandai has put an end to rumors that Tales of the Abyss has been delayed in Europe. A company representative said on Twitter that the game is still due out in Europe on November 25.

North American gamers will have to wait until next year to get their hands on the game. Namco Bandai recently announced that it’s scheduled for a February 2012 release.

Before this week’s release of Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, it had been eleven years since a mainline Kirby game to make it out to the public. So, what took so long? As it turns out, HAL Laboratory was busy working on not one, but three Kirby projects.

The first title, as most fans will remember, was shown during E3 2005 through screenshots and a brief glimpse of footage. The second game featured Copy Abilities with a pop-up book art style. The final project contained 3D gameplay. All three of these titles were canned, though it seems that HAL chose some concepts to include in Kirby’s Return to Dreamland.

The full discussion (along with screenshots) from the latest Iwata Asks interview – now available in English can be found after the break.
