Because the 3DS is getting a port of a smartphone title ?

Because they finally considered 3DS an option again after 2 failures on the vita, despite tales of abyss 3DS being a success.

I don't think we'll ever see mainline Tales on a handheld again. This approach is good. Dump spinoffs on handhelds/mobile and keep mainline games on PS3/4. I'm surprised we've not heard about a Radiant Mythology though - those did incredibly well on PSP.
This is so stupid, why do all devs go out of their way to avoid Nintendo even when its clear there are money to be made there
3DS was always an option for spin-offs - they put the remakes on Vita, because they were based on DS games playable on the 3DS. And tthey wrere kinda low efforts to begin with.

You act as if Bamco doesnt support the 3DS. Tales of maintitles are on home consoles aka. PS3/PS4 now and this wont change unless we see a Tales of title selling +500K.

I don't know if this is a case of "avoiding Nintendo" as "backing technology and following their audience". PSP was the clear platform for titles like Tales and Persona because it was successful in Japan and had a lot of JRPG fans behind it. In the early days of Vita, it probably made sense that the audience would migrate.
They migrated to 3DS instead.
It's not coming since it's an spin-off, but SRPGs are not my cup of tea
Vita games were quite low budget right? It's not like they really tried.
Yes. Mainline games on homeconsoles. Spin-offs / ports on handhelds (and smart devices). The 3DS has more than enough JRPG franchises, let's keep the ones that are still on the homeconsoles there. Especially because Tales of handheld games aren't usually localized if we see Bamco track record (not Innocence x2, no Hearts x2, no PSP remakes, no RM 2 and 3 since 1 tanked).
There are a lot of PSP remakes Asia only. I'd buy them all if they were on the 3DS though.

I think they managed to make $$ on the vita remake since they looks cheap although they didn't sell that well. Tota 3D sold above their expectations and that was also a cheap port. ( They really don't bothered much about the 3D part lol.)
What about a TotW: Radiant mythology 4 for Vita?
This April's joke was not funny at all

Would you buy this shit?
Tales Vita games deserved to bomb, their failure is not Vita gamers' fault.

Abyss on 3DS sold over 600k units world wide, outperformed the PS2 original in North America and outsold both Vita games.
It also outsold both Tales of Hearts and Tales of Innocence R in Japan.
Marginally. Not near enough to call anything a failure or a success.

Wow, damning a game because it has mediocre graphics.
No they were plain bad games.

Source?
I would expect his source to be banned on GAF - but nevermind i think Tales of the Abyss sold very well here in europe, they had to reprint it here in germany a bunch of times. Bamco also screwed up for not having a eShop release, but these companies just wont learn when it comes recognizing sleeper hits.

It probably helped that Abyss never had a Euro release as a PS title, but yeah, I heard something to that fact of the game exceeding expectations here. They probably never planned for an eShop release because at the time it wasn't standard to have them, but yeah Abyss 3D is as bare bones a port as you can expect, so the entire thing was a really low effort venture, much like those Vita remakes.
Hey, I enjoy SRPG's. Already own three on the system.
But TotA did well in Europe. The first print was sold out in a few days and for the next two months new copies were sold for 60 quid or about 70. I remember some Bamco guy saying the game exceeded expectations.
Wasn't TotA3DS the only JRPG on the system for like two years?
Looks like one and a half in Europe and one in the US before FE:A came out.
No, they didn't tried hard at all. It's not like they were new games either, sure they were remakes but remakes of DS titles that didn't sell that much either.
Yeah, it's really unbelieavable... Lack of eShop version is pretty much the only reason I haven't played it yet. I mean, how hard would it be to make one? Friggin' Super Monkey Ball 3D is getting a digital version this week : /
Hearts and Innocence did about 250k each on the DS.

The sources don't mention it but is this Japan only for now? Would really like another Tales game on 3DS.

There are people that play Tales games for the very original and well written anime characters though, which gives me heartburn just thinking about.
This comes from a Japanese magazine, so it's Japan-only for now. Maybe we'll get an announcement during the Japan Expo, in July?

Which really doesn't make sense that they didn't change their priority back then based on what happened. While the vita remakes are low budget, the 3DS didn't even get another port until now.

Sorry, but isn't selling marginally better still selling better when all is said and done?

Actually, it seems to me that they tried hard to make it suck. And they succeeded coz there are people who would have like it more if they did a straight port of the DS titles and did nothing about the resolution at all.
I never played the original DS titles, but if either Vita Tales game are the result of that #jrpgvita campaign, then I'd say that that's a buttload of wasted resource. :/
Nope.
If you get 1 million profit in a year from selling bread,
and 1.2 million profit in same period from selling rice...
What does that tell you? That rice is fucking awesome? That you can stop selling bread coz rice sells more anyways?
Sure but I don't want to reiterate what I just said.
Not to be that guy but those look like retail only sales compared to media create numbers (those are a little higher but neither of the two factor in digital sales). Did TotA3DS have an eshop release in Japan?
Tales of games have nothing to do with #jrpgvita, but people were so crazy(or uninformed) that their localizations were the first requests :\
What does that even mean?
Those should be Famitsu figures.
EDIT:
Oh, I think a got it what you were trying to say.
They were not. I greatly enjoyed both of them.
