This information comes from Makoto Yoshizumi, who shared the following information with Nintendo Power…

– Namco Bandai understands that fans want more Tales game in English
– Time and money get in the way
– Namco Bandai has taken steps to alleviate the issues above, and hopefully we can now look forward to seeing more Tales games worldwide
– It’s been difficult to fit the game on the 3DS card due to size restrictions
– Voice data in particular was challenging to put on the card and feels they solved the problem while keeping the quality high
– “Every part of the game, with the exception of the animated cut-scenes, has been redone in 3D”
– Yoshizumi believes this makes the game seem more real/immersive than before
– Character models rebuilt to improve performance
– Rest of the game has been ported over seamlessly
– Some changes made to “in-game parameters” to compensate for control differences
– No other additions, no new weapons/artes
– No communication features (StreetPass, SpotPass)
– Namco Bandai have talked about a sequel, but haven’t yet come up with something that would be good enough for a full game
– Yoshizumi says he appreciates the comments he receives on Twitter from worldwide fans, and he hopes that more Tales games can make it over in the future
– Load times have been improved on significantly
– Steadier frame rate (may have been referring to the world map specifically)
– Skits will remain unvoiced

Namco Bandai is being very supportive of the “Tales of” series as of late. The company announced a North American release of Graces a few weeks ago (the Wii version’s fate is unknown currently), and now there’s another reason to be happy: Tales of the Abyss 3DS is coming to the states. Nintendo Power confirmed the news in their May 2011 issue. We’ll have details from the magazine soon.

Thanks to Jake for the tip!
