Get ready for the next battle... in the stage of history!

Well the other installments had a lot of outside developers involved as well, and personally I can kind of see Namco being perfect for this anyways. The head guy behind it is the same guy from all the other games too (Masahiro Sakurai), and a big Tales guy being in charge... probably a sign of quality I'd say.

I think if this brings in more 3rd party characters, that'd just be awesome.

I'll consider this confirmation that Pac-man is in the game.

Anyway, I'm just happy that it seems they are actively working on the game now. Hopefully its not too far off.

Love me some Smash.

So HAL is basically just Nintendo's Kirby wing now. Brilliant.

So which Tales character(s) do we think will be in it?

Now that you've said that I'm going to be totally pissed if he's not in there somewhere



I wonder if they'll make him big enough to eat Kirby......

Samesies. I would totally love to play as Pac-Man!

[Nintendork666]

YES.

But why? Nintendo is the best first-party developer, IMO and many other people's opinions. Why would they risk a drop in quality on such a fantastic series? I'm worried.

Capcom developed Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
