With video game sales declining in the US, the Wii U will breathe fresh air in a market that some would say is suffering from a stagnating console generation. The system signals the beginning of a new cycle with brand new hardware, games, and the possibility for lots of sales.

Naturally, the prospects of a new console launch would entice retailers – especially GameStop. The retailer has expressed great excitement about the release of Wii U.

GameStop President Tony Bartel said:

“We’re very excited about the Wii U launch. We’re looking forward to that release, we’re looking forward to taking pre-orders. What we’re really excited about is it’s really the first part of the next console launch.”

For the First Time, Shoppers Can Either Buy the Packaged Game in Stores or Purchase and Download the Full Version Wirelessly from the Nintendo eShop

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has launched both an exciting new game and a cool new system to play it on. U.S. residents can now get their hands on two of the hottest video game products of the year: New Super Mario Bros. 2 and the new Nintendo 3DS XL portable system. Nintendo 3DS XL offers screens that are 90 percent larger than the original Nintendo 3DS, and sells at a suggested retail price of $199.99.

The newest game to play on the system – or the original Nintendo 3DS system – is New Super Mario Bros. 2, the follow-up to the best-selling Nintendo DS game of all time, which sold more than 10.3 million in the United States alone. For the first time, Nintendo is giving consumers a variety of ways to buy the game. Shoppers can purchase a packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide. They can go to a participating retailer and buy a code to download the game directly to their Nintendo 3DS system over a broadband Internet connection. Or they can simply purchase and download the game on their own from the Nintendo eShop using a wireless broadband connection. Regardless of purchasing method, the game sells at a suggested retail price of $39.99.

Most had assumed this at this point, but XSEED won’t be localizing Retro Game Challenge 2.

The company released the first entry in North America a few years back. Sadly, the game’s sales were a disappointment.

When asked which game was XSEED’s biggest flop, Jessica Chavez replied:

“Don’t know exactly which, but Retro Game Challenge and Half-Minute Hero were not particularly popular. …Sorry. Know many of you love and supported it when it came out, but it was a pretty unpopular game with the fans overall.”

And when asked about the possibility of localizing Retro Game Challenge 2, Chavez wrote:

“Sorry, man. That ship has sailed.”

Long after their original Japanese releases, Xenoblade and The Last Story have finally launched in North America. But there remains one “big” Wii RPG that remains “unlocalized”: Pandora’s Tower.

Pandora’s Tower has been translated into English already. Nintendo localized the title for Europe earlier this year.

Unfortunately, there don’t appear to be any plans to bring the title to North America. Chances are Nintendo won’t ship Pandora’s Tower in the states, and XSEED Games, the publisher of The Last Story, isn’t considering localization at the moment.

XSEED’s Jessica Chavez said:

“…As for Pandora’s Tower, I don’t believe it’s in consideration right now.”

If you’re interested in Pandora’s Tower, you’ll likely have to import and… do some things to your Wii.
