This information comes from someone who attended a Dragon Quest IX Tag Mode event on Saturday…
“I was at the Dragon Quest IX GameStop Tag Mode event today and the local Nintendo rep showed up to give out some goodies and help assist players in downloading their event map. I got to talking with the guy and I was able to grill him on a lot of things. The most interesting bit of info he shared with me was that Nintendo already has their Fall Conference lined up. The date and location are already set, they have just yet to formally make an announcement. He also teased me by saying there is still a lot of things the general public doesnt know about the 3DS. So more surprises coming soon in that regard.”
Nintendo held a “fall conference” last year, but it was the first time in awhile that there were no events overseas. However, with the 3DS on the horizon, it seems very likely that the Big N will set something up in North America and Europe this year. There’s a good chance that we’ll hear something within the next few weeks, or early next month.

This information comes from Namco Bandai’s Facebook page…
“Firstly, thank you all for your excitement around the series. We also love the series here at Namco of America and are working with our Japan counterparts to determine if we’ll see US releases for these games. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have any plans to bring Tales of Graces to the US. If this changes, we’ll let you know as soon as we can!”
Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. I had hoped we’d hear something about the title E3, but of course, Namco Bandai didn’t mention the title at all. The only way North American/European gamers might be able to play Tales of Graces is through the recently announced PS3 version, though even that is doubtful right now.
