New ToH Trailer: CG vs. Anime... FIGHT!

Namco Bandai has just released a new trailer for its upcoming DS RPG, Tales of Hearts, once again viewable in two flavors: "Classic Anime" or "Soulless CG." Choose your favorite and watch below!

Anime


CG


I watched the anime trailer first, and thought, "Whoa! That looks pretty epic!" Then I watched the CG trailer and thought, "Whoa! That still looks creepy!"

However, what I found quite interesting about this trailer (these trailers?) is the fact that all of the text is in both English and Japanese, right up front. This is an atypical pattern for Japanese Tales of promotional materials, and thus could point to a possible North American release. This is purely guess work, but ToH might mark the first DS Tales of iteration to make it to our shores.

Don't put any money down on it, but don't be too shocked if it happens either.

Tales of Hearts will be available on Nintendo DS on December 11, 2009 in Japan.
