Tales Union: "For those who have followed Namco Bandai over the last few years, it's clear that the company has had a number of issues it's had to work out. One of the biggest was found in an earnings report last February, where the company reported a staggering $129.5 million loss, far from the $93.8 million gain they had hoped to achieve. This forced them to launch a "group restart plan" which cut 630 of the company's paid employees, among other changes."
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.
Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.
But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂
But still kuddo to him :)
Laced Records has teamed up with Bandai Namco for the release of a triple vinyl-set featuring music from retro-classics Tekken Tag Tournament & Tekken 4.
TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.
Finally they dig themselves out of the shit hole. Or are at least making progress..

Damn, even though I don't really care for Bandai I'm sorry to hear that. Horrible to see people lose jobs.
Without the Playstation 15 years ago, they would have been long gone. Namco Bandai became arrogant over the years of success now they are paying for it just like Squareenix.
Hey, if this teaser turns out to be an actual Tales localization announcement, I'd be more than willing to do my part as a fan to promote the game. Word-of-mouth can be a very powerful tool. It is great to hear that Namco is actually putting forth some genuine effort to reach out to gamers.
really, if namco bandai starts to release Tales of games over here and other great reborn franchise like galaga and new pacmans, a better tekken (6 wasn't that good), Then count me in!
I'm ready to buy your games namdai, just release the good ones overhere!
