Namco Bandai and tri-Crescendo's visually-stunning and narratively-boring Xbox 360 RPG Eternal Sonata (Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume in Japan) was reportedly getting the PS3-port treatment last fall. (Though you'll note that the port has already missed its targeted Spring 2008 release.)
Well, it seems that Namco Bandai's North American arm has no plans to bring it over. A Namco Bandai US Spokesperson said:
"I can’t speak for any other territories, but I believe Eternal Sonata is only announced for the PS3 in Japan right now... We have no plans to release the game on the PS3 in the US at this moment. "
With Namco Bandai's notoriously spotty RPG-localization choices (read "they don't localize much"), Eternal Sonata looks to suffer the same fate as Tales of Symphonia's PS2 port (which also never made the jump).
Personally, since I own a 360 and the game, and felt it was decidedly average in every aspect except its amazingly awesome graphics and art design, I never saw the draw to wait for this port in the first place.
Eternal Sonata is supposedly being ported to the PS3 in Japan "sometime this year."
So PS3-onlys (all both of you), what do you think about this?
