The Last Story, Pandora’s Tower coming to Europe in 2012

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Nintendo of Europe has revealed their latest release schedule, and at the very, very bottom, there are two names we’ve all been hoping to see: The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower. The release date just says “Coming to Europe in 2012.”

I know it’s too soon to crack out the champagne bottle, and that we can’t consider Operation Rainfall a success just yet, but I have to admit, I let out a whoop of joy when I saw this. I understand that Nintendo doesn’t have to cater to us, but in the end, we are the hardcore gamers Nintendo keeps saying they want to please, the ones who have been desperately importing games and playing ROMs for years. Why not give in to the untapped potential that is our undying love for your quirky JRPGs… not to mention our wallets, which have Zelda maps on them? (No, seriously. My wallet really does.)

Xenoblade still missing from Nintendo’s latest game calendar

Posted on July 29, 2011 by John Scalzo

It was a long shot, but it looks like Nintendo has decided to ignore Operation Rainfall’s campaign to bring Xenoblade to America. The publisher has released a game release calendar for the remainder of 2011 and the Monolith Soft-developed RPG wasn’t on it.

Also missing from the list were The Last Story or Pandora’s Tower, two other Nintendo-published Wii titles that Operation Rainfall had set their sights on.

This isn’t the first time Nintendo has shot down the hopes of a North American localization for Xenoblade, The Last Story or Pandora’s Tower in America. A company spokesman revealed that Nintendo had “no plans” to publish the games back in June.

Nintendo has “no plans” to bring Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandora’s Tower to America

Posted on June 30, 2011 by John Scalzo

Bad news, Operation Rainfall supporters: Nintendo has announced they have “no plans” to bring Xenoblade, The Last Story or Pandora’s Tower to North America. Posting on the company’s Facebook page, a spokesman wrote:

Thank you for your enthusiasm. We promised an update, so here it is. We never say “never,” but we can confirm that there are no plans to bring these three games to the Americas at this time. Thanks so much for your passion, and for being such great fans!

I’m not sure what else needs to be said. Nintendo continues to ignore their most hardcore fans and refuses to localize their new and exciting franchises.

Wait, one other thing needs to be said… this sucks!

Awesome new trailer for Wii RPG Pandora’s Tower

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Earlier in the year, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata teased a new RPG coming exclusively to the Wii, called Pandora’s Tower. That’s pretty much all the information we got, but now a new trailer for the game has been released. We also know the game is coming out May 26 in Japan, developed by Ganbarion, the team behind the DS’ Jump Super Stars.

The official site has been updated with the trailer and release date, but no other information has been provided. You know, like if this game will ever come to the United States.

New Wii exclusive Pandora’s Tower teased

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Over the weekend, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata announced Pandora’s Tower for the Wii during a financial briefing and this teaser site opened shortly after. Other than the logo you see above and some damn pleasant piano music, the site opens with a girl’s voice saying, “dying and becoming beautiful, or living though ugly. Which will make you happier?” (as nervously translated by Andriasang). The site lists a planned release date for the Spring.

I have no idea what this game is or what any of this means, but if you’ve got a Wii, you might want to keep an eye out for this one.
