A few new details have emerged on Tales of Hearts for Nintendo DS and the new Wii Tales due next year in Japan. Considering Tales of Innocence had projected sales of 150,000 unit sales in Japan and exceeded that total, selling nearly 200,000 overall, Bandai Namco upped its expectations of the third DS iteration, Tales of Hearts, with the company hoping to sell 400,000 copies in total. To help the game's cause, since it has an uphill struggle due to launching on the same day as Square Enix's Final Fantasy: Dissidia on PlayStation Portable, the company has been promoting the game at several events, as well as ramping up the marketing in general, plus offering special pre-order bundles and the choice of a 2D anime version or 3D CGI edition.

The new information on the DS Tales is that the number of support characters featured in the game is to be in double digits. In addition, Shing, Kohak, Innes and Beryl all had their Hi Ougis (Mystic Artes) shown off recently. Shing's is Shououjineizan, Kohak's is Satsugekibukouken (Final Fury), Innes' is Neptune Rage, and Beryl's is Crazy Comet (which returns for the first time since Tales of Destiny 2).

On top of this, the new mainline Tales that will appear on Wii was revealed, showing the game to be fully 3D and having a feel similar to the latest release 'Tales of Vesperia' on the Xbox 360.

That's really cool. The new Tales game for the Wii (which was shown in a closed-door showing so we barely know anything :() will be full 3D and will feel like "Tales of Vesperia". :D

Oh, and there's a battle video for Tales of Hearts for the DS in the link as well. :)

sad but maybe true, the sales in japan of the last DS version were kinda ok so maybe they'll try to bring it to America, is good to stay positive
 
I was positive for over 3 years now waiting for a Tales DS, even a Tales of Rebirt/Legendia remake for PSP, America always gets shafted on the handheld Tales games.
