XSEED published Pandora’s Tower in North America when the game originally came out on Wii. However, it turns out that the company was not involved with the new digital version on Wii U today.
XSEED wrote on Twitter:
@infinitys_end @mjpingram @LTNintendo Afraid that's not by us! We have nothing to do with the digital version.

Chris Pranger let go from Nintendo (Treehouse)
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 140 Comments
The name Chris Pranger should ring a bell if you’ve kept an eye on the site over the past few weeks. Pranger recently appeared on a Part-Time Gamer podcast to talk about working at Nintendo Treehouse and a number of other topics.
Unfortunately, Pranger has stated on his Twitter account that he was fired from Nintendo. We don’t know about the specifics, but he likely said something he wasn’t supposed to during the podcast – perhaps a broken NDA.
As some of you may have heard, yes, I was fired yesterday. Yes, it was ultimately my own fault. No, I did not see this coming.

You never like to hear about someone losing their job. I wish Pranger the best of luck in the future, and hopefully he’ll land somewhere new soon!

Splatoon – Rainmaker videos, overview
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
A couple of videos are now available for Splatoon’s new Rainmaker mode.
First, here’s some footage from GameSpot:
And an official video from the Squid Research Lab:
Speaking of the Squid Research Lab, here’s an official overview of Rainmaker:
Introducing…. Rainmaker! In Rainmaker, both teams compete to snag the, uhhh, Rainmaker. Once you’ve got it, the goal is to carry it into the other team’s base!
How’s it work, you ask? As soon as the battle begins, grab onto that Rainmaker! It’s guarded by a shield, though, so you’ll need to bust it out first. Once you snag it, head for the other team’s base. And be quick about it!
If you run out of time or get splatted, the Rainmaker will be dropped and its shield will also reactivate. The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you can’t Super Jump while carrying it. Hopefully your teammates will watch your back!
But don’t think the Rainmaker is just some shiny object – it can shoot ink like an Inkzooka. You can even hold to charge the Rainmaker up for an extra-powerful shot! The closer you get to the enemy base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop. If you retreat too far while holding the Rainmaker, it’ll explode sooner! If the battle ends without anyone carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest goal distance will win.
