As a bonus:

Namco has also announced plans for a release of its hugely popular Taiko no Tatsujin ("Drum Master") rhythm action game in the USA and Europe during 2004, following massive success in Japan.

Sticking the fingers up at (the allegedly inferior) Donkey Konga no doubt. Great news for those of us who've kept our money so far ;)

Interesting move. Another big publisher in the UK ... can only be good!

if you'd played it you'd know it wasn't a Nintendo game.

if it was a Nintendo game it'd be much better.

Not going to happen. You know it. I know it.

I'll be proven wrong tomorrow.

Just chip your PS2, or buy a US one. DVDBO have Xeno for about 12 quid.

The levels of text and speech in that game are insane. No freaking way ;)

Its also an "old" game now. It would never get the marketing, never sell and its likely that most people who would have bought the PAL version have either forgotten about it, or own the US version.

EA are publishing Tales of Symphonia here in September and are apparently trying to get the European rights to Sukidon 3, so you never know.

When the hell did they sign up for Tales? Great news, and only a couple of months behind the USA launch too if your date is correct.

Taiko is ace, but I do feel a little self concious about other people hearing exactly what I am playing. As you must admit some of the tunes are a little Gay sounding (Mini Moni I am looking at you)

Don't worry, they'll change all the tunes to some gay Euro Pop/Dance shite.
