4ColorRebellion has word this morning that Namco's original Tales game for the Nintendo DS, Tales of the Tempest, has been delayed in Japan.

The title was originally set for a release on April 13 but has been pushed back to June 8. Namco has not yet said if or when they plan to bring this title outside Japan; the success or failure of the upcoming Tales of Phantasia, to be published in North America by Nintendo on March 6, may well play a part in that decision.
