Split-Screen :: The Game-Geek’s Daily Read

First, XBox 360 owners were treated when Namco-Bandai’s Tales of Vesperia released on the system, and this certainly helped bolster the console’s presence in Japan due to it’s exclusivity. Then PS3 owners got the royal treatment, plus additional content, when Vesperia was announced to be on it’s way to Sony’s console in time for Christmas. We don’t quite know what Wii gamers were expecting, given that Tales of Graces was already announced for the console, but a blog post by a Vesperia voice actor indicates they could be in for more.

Rikiya Koyama plays Duke Pantanrei in the game’s Japanese version (the same character being voiced by Jamieson Price in the English edition) revealed on his blog today that the game, after arriving on 360 and PS3, is now making it’s way to Wii. The translated part of that paragraph (with some grammar cleaned up) reads:

“Tales of Vesperia, XBOX, and PS3, and now it is Wii will be released…”

He may have it confused with Graces, but you’d think he’d know the versions apart given how long he’s been associated with Tales of Vesperia. Namco-Bandai as of yet have not officially announced Vesperia as coming to the Nintendo Wii.
