Namco’s Tales team is churning out Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. It’s a Wii exclusive, and Namco Bandai producer Teruaki Konishi told us that the game wasn’t designed to be multi-plat. In fact, since Namco didn’t design the game’s memory to fit for the PlayStation 2, a possible (and seemingly profitable) PS2 port is thus ruled out Namco Bandai stated. According to Konishi:
There are lots of casual players for the Wii, and we wanted to make an RPG title that could tap that market… To all the PS2 owners out there, we apologize.
Guess those PS2 owners will just have to go buy Wiis. Or something.

No local release date at this stage. Atari, who distribute Namco Bandai titles in Australia, have yet to confirm a release. I’d expect to see it around July/August.
