Today in Japan Namco Bandai held their press-only pre-TGS press conference where they had promised to reveal "secret and exclusive" titles. Exciting!Except that it really wasn't. Here are the RPG "announcements" from the presser:
-Eternal Sonata will be on the PlayStation 3 on October 21, 2008 in North America. It is already out in Japan. European release date is still undecided. Wow. Is this news? I thought this was announced last TGS.
-Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is due out on the Nintendo Wii in November, 2008 in North America. It is already out in Japan. European release date is still undecided. It was stated that this is a Wii exclusive. ...Sorry, but was that fact ever in question? I didn't realise that there was a big "port ToS2 to something else" movement. If you were part of such a movement, please accept my condolences.
Yep. That's it.
Truth be told, I'm a little shocked that they didn't mention anything we didn't already know. Like, at all. Guess nothing from Namdai on the Bingo sheet. Damn.
But apparently there was a live ninja show for the press in attendance. I guess that makes the event worth it?
Kotaku covered their other "surprising" titles in their entirity here. (SPOILERS: You won't be surprised by anything.)
