XSEED erecting Pandora's Tower for Wii in NA this spring

XSEED Games Announces Pandora's Tower for Spring 2013 Release

Fan Favorite Wii-Exclusive Action RPG to be Released for the North American Market

Torrance, Calif., (January 16, 2013) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, today announced they have come to an agreement with Nintendo that will bring the highly anticipated action role-playing title, Pandora's Tower™, exclusively to Wii™ in Spring 2013. Developed in Japan by Ganbarion, Pandora's Tower takes the classic fairytale theme of a maiden in distress and adds a violent twist, with the protagonist setting out to slay over a dozen giant monsters and collect their flesh in order to free his beloved from an evil curse. The agreement with Nintendo grants XSEED Games exclusive publishing rights to Pandora's Tower in North America.

"It's fantastic to be bringing such a highly-anticipated title like Pandora's Tower to such a vocal fan base," said Shinichi Suzuki, President and CEO of XSEED Games. "North American gamers have been very patient in waiting for this game to be released, and we're confident they will be pleased when they get their hands on the title."

A tale of unfortunate circumstances, Pandora's Tower opens in the Kingdom of Elyria, where an unassuming singer named Elena succumbs to a wretched curse during a festival performance. Bearing an arcane mark on her back, she starts transforming into a savage monster, causing the town guards to attempt to kill her in order to prevent it. A young ex-mercenary named Aeron, whose heart has forever been pledged to Elena, whisks her away in the nick of time – and with the help of a mysterious witch named Mavda, he learns what must be done to avert her wretched fate. He must descend into The Scar, a massive chasm tied down by twelve chains connected to a floating island in its center, atop which sit thirteen interconnected towers. There, he must use his sword and a sacred chain to battle his way through each tower and extract the flesh of the boss "masters" that dwell within, which Elena must consume in order to reverse her ongoing transformation. But the clock is ticking! The longer Aeron takes to vanquish each beast, the less human Elena becomes, affecting her character and the game's final outcome in a profound manner. Time is of the essence...

Pandora's Tower was developed in Japan by Ganbarion in conjunction with Nintendo, exclusively for Wii. The game will be published by XSEED Games in North America in Spring 2013. XSEED Games will release more product updates in the coming months.

Pandora's Tower streamlining to NA without a special edition

by Sinan Kubba on Jan 28th 2013 1:00PM

Publisher XSEED isn't looking at bringing out a Pandora's Tower special edition when the game finally reaches North America this spring. The Wii JRPG did get one in Europe, which came with an art book and steel case, but XSEED tweeted that this time around it had to "go a bit more streamlined." That streamlining may still incorporate a reversible cover and manual art, but we'll have to wait and see.

Pandora's Tower is the last of the Operation Rainfall Wii JRPGs to get North American localization, and is now available for pre-order at GameStop, priced $39.99. Its release represents a comprehensive victory for the 2011 grassroots campaign, and we suspect those involved are just happy to see it over here, special edition or no.

Pandora's Tower gets an English trailer from Nintendo of Europe

by Mike Schramm on Mar 28th 2012 3:00AM

Don't get too excited -- there's still no North American release of Pandora's Tower to speak of. But in the meantime you can still enjoy this (kind of gross) English trailer for the Japanese export, coming out April 13 on the Wii in Europe.

[Wii] Nintendo of Europe confirms Pandora's Tower release date

[Wii] Nintendo of Europe confirms Pandora's Tower release date
Rounding out the three surprise Wii hits is Pandora's Tower, this was one game that I thought even Nintendo of Europe might pass on but they saw things differently. The game is scheduled to release across Europe on the 13th of April and will release with a special edition featuring a steelbook case and a 32 page artbook showcasing the game's best pieces.

Nintendo of America has not made any announcements about localising this game yet, but considering they are bringing across Xenoblade and The Last Story it is only a matter of time (or pressure) until they do so.

There are no localised trailers currently, so here's an old one courtesy of IGN.

Pandora's Tower coming to Europe in April, enjoy gross Valentine's Day cards now

by JC Fletcher on Feb 14th 2012 10:30AM

Pandora's Tower is the next European Wii RPG release for us all to be jealous of. Following this month's The Last Story, Pandora's Tower will arrive in Europe on April 13, ensuring an oddly impressive 2012 Wii lineup for the region.

Pandora's Tower is an action-RPG game in which soldier "Aeron" traverses a series of towers to gather monster meat with his magical sword and chain, and then feeds the aforementioned flesh to his cursed friend Elena. Yikes.

Speaking of "yikes," Nintendo chose to mark the announcement with a set of grotesque Pandora's Tower-themed Valentine e-cards. You can view them in the gallery or download them from Nintendo, for any relationships you need to end.

Nintendo: 'No plans' to localize Xenoblade, Last Story, or Pandora's Tower

by JC Fletcher on Jun 29th 2011 10:30PM

On Sunday, Nintendo of America's Facebook page promised "more updates soon" regarding the status of Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower, the three Wii games that are the focus of the ongoing grassroots campaign for localization, called "Operation Rainfall."

On Monday, it posted a Super Mario 64 trivia question.

Then, today, it provided the response that fans were waiting for -- but not the one they wanted. "We never say 'never,'" the company stated, "but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time." A brief response on Twitter thanked Operation Rainfall-ers for being "such incredible fans," but reiterated that "there continues to be no plans for NOA to release these 3 games right now."

Not that we want to give false hope regarding the actions of a company who is always pragmatic to the point of angering dedicated fans, but "no plans right now" is far from a death knell, especially for Nintendo. Some things that there were "no plans" for in America: the black Wii, the Classic Controller Pro, the Wii Sports Resort hardware bundle. Basically, there are "no plans" until the company decides to tell people its plans.

So even that denial leaves the door wide open for one of these games to be announced at a "Media Summit" or similar event in the fall. We're just mentioning that possibility, to be perfectly honest, so that we can say we totally called it should that happen.

You may not remember Pandora's Tower as it was announced way back at the end of January by Nintendo. But a gameplay trailer has finally emerged and it showcases the kind of action we can expect to see.

RE: [Wii] First gameplay trailer for Pandora's Tower surfaces Looks promising. You can generally trust Nintendo to deliver a great gaming experience, unless said experience encompasses nothing but minigames. I found my wii!

Pandora's Tower revealed, and coming soon to Japan

by James Ransom-Wiley on Apr 6th 2011 11:05AM

In late January, Nintendo of Japan launched a teaser site for "Pandora's Tower," a (total) mystery Wii game said to be near completion -- no kidding! The site was updated today with a trailer (which has also been released on the Wii's "Everyone's Nintendo Channel" in Japan), revealing a release date of May 26, 2011. See for yourself after the break.

So, what is Pandora's Tower? According to a preview in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu (via Andriasang), this straightforward-looking if not melodramatic action RPG assigns the young hero, Ende, with the absolutely morbid task of de-fleshing enough beasts to end a curse suffered by the lovely singer Ceres -- who's supposed to be gracing the harvest festival! Ende must butcher these foul creatures (in a colorful cartoon-style suitable for ages 15 and up) throughout a series of twelve towers before the curse consumes Ceres.

Pandora's Tower has been developed by Ganbarion, best known for its pair of Jump Stars DS fighting games in Japan.

Nintendo opens teaser site for Wii 'Pandora's Tower'

by JC Fletcher on Jan 28th 2011 2:20PM

Today, Nintendo of Japan posted a teaser site for a new Wii game called "Pandora's Tower: Until I Return to Your Side." Not a thing is known about it other than what can be seen and heard on the site, which means all we can confirm at this point is a back tattoo and the spoken line "Dying and becoming beautiful, or living even though you're ugly. Which will make you happier?" (as translated by Andriasang). If we had to guess, we'd say this looks like the work of Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft.

Despite the total lack of information, Nintendo of Japan president Satoru Iwata said in an investor presentation that the game is almost complete, and Nintendo plans to launch it this spring in Japan.
