Namco Bandai’s latest entry in the Tales series,
Tales of Phantasia: Narikri Dungeon X for PSP debuted at number one on the Japanese sales charts for the week ended August 8, tracking firm Media Create announced Thursday.
The PSP game is a remake of the Game Boy Color RPG
Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon, the sequel to the original
Tales of Phantasia. The game features the action battle system traditionally used in other entries of the series, as well as random dungeons, a costume system, and the ability to change character classes at will. Namco Bandai has not yet announced a North American release for the title.
Tales of Phantasia: Narikri Dungeon X sold 108,356 units in its first week, with
Wii Party taking the number two spot, pushing last week’s top game, Capcom’s
Sengoku Basara 3 for PlayStation 3, into the third spot.
Three other new titles,
StormLover for PSP,
Battle Spirits: Digital Starter for DS, and
Heart Catch PreCure! Oshare Collection for DS broke the top 10 this week, hitting the fifth, ninth, and tenth spots, respectively.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 returned to the top 10 after dropping to the thirteenth spot last week, while

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2010, and
Metal Max 3 fell from the top 10.
