Much to the delight of fans, Tales of Graces F was confirmed for North America a few days ago. As some of you may know, the “F” was not part of the Wii title when the game was released in Japan. That’s because a slightly enhanced version was later developed for the PlayStation 3.

The thing is, Namco Bandai has yet to announce which platforms the localized game will be released for in North America. The PS3 seems like a sure bet considering its full name was “Tales of Graces F”, but the Wii title has not been ruled out just yet. Said Makoto Iwai, Bandai Label President:

“We’ll see [about platforms]. We’re working on it. We’ll make the announcement later on.”

NAMCO BANDAI GAMES ANNOUNCES PAC-MAN® & GALAGA® DIMENSIONS FOR NINTENDO 3DS™

Shift Your Perspective with New PAC-MAN and GALAGA Adventures

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Feb. 4, 2011) – Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced PAC-MAN® & GALAGA® DIMENSIONS, exclusively for Nintendo 3DS™. PAC-MAN® and GALAGA®, two of NAMCO BANDAI Games’ most cherished arcade franchises, enter a new dimension of fun with two brand new titles, each taking advantage of the Nintendo 3DS system’s unique and innovative technology. PAC-MAN® Tilt turns PAC-MAN’s world on its head with motion sensing controls and an eye-catching neon aesthetic. GALAGA® 3D IMPACT places players directly into the gunner seat against an advancing Galaga armada across an exciting on-rails action game with gyroscopic controls. Both PAC-MAN Tilt and GALAGA 3D IMPACT will be available together in PAC-MAN & GALAGA DIMENSIONS this year for Nintendo 3DS.

PAC-MAN’s world has been unhinged in PAC-MAN Tilt. Take control of PAC-MAN in twisting 2D platforming levels filled with perilous obstacles, power pellets and wandering ghosts. Using the accelerometer capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS system, players will be able to literally tilt PAC-MAN’s world from side to side in order to solve devious environmental puzzles and sneak past roaming enemies. PAC-MAN can also use pinball flippers, spring boards and other objects placed throughout each level to help him reach each level’s goal. Tilting the screen when PAC-MAN has a running start will cause him to roll into a ball, giving him an extra boost of speed and access to narrow tunnels. Strategically using all of PAC-MAN’s abilities will be the only way to complete this all-new and exciting adventure.
