First print copies of Tales of Hearts R include a second game, Tales of Hearts R: Infinite Evolve. Namco Bandai says this is a 2D action RPG and it looks like they reused sprites from Tales of Hearts – the DS version. Yuri, Jade, Stan, and Lloyd show up as guest characters in Tales of Hearts R: Infinite Evolve. Players will also see special skits, which should be a treat for fans.
Speaking of fans, Tales of Hearts R Link Edition includes Vita accessories like a pouch, cleaning cloth, cradle with special cover, decal, and a copy of the game. An other bonus is a code to download a Tales of Hearts R Quest Clock which shows scenery from the game. You can send characters out in quest mode to earn more money, which you can use to purchase more skins.
While Namco Bandai is the publisher for Tales of Hearts R, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is selling and distributing Link Edition. Tales of Hearts R comes out on March 7. You can get it for 6,480 yen ($77) in stores or 5,830 yen ($70) on PlayStation Network. Link Edition is 9,980 yen ($120).
