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.

We received confirmation earlier this week that The Bridge is slated for the North American Wii U eShop on August 20. But we now know that the European release is set for the same day. The game’s official Twitter account told one fan that it will arrive on August 20 in both regions.
@Axis1500 Thanks! The Bridge will release in Europe the same time as America, on August 14th/18th/20th for Xbox/PS/WiiU

Pandora’s Tower (Wii download) heading to the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 55 Comments
Pandora’s Tower is coming to the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow as a Wii download, Nintendo’s website reveals. The game should be available for $19.99.
For those who haven’t heard of Pandora’s Tower previously, here’s a handy overview:
Pandora’s Tower tells a haunting tale about a cursed young woman’s slow transformation into a hideous beast and the lengths to which the man she loves will go in order to save her. Aeron must brave the Thirteen Towers, which are suspended in the middle of a valley by chains connected to surrounding cliffs, and use his magical Oraclos Chain weapon to retrieve the flesh of the giant monsters that reside within each tower. He must feed this “master flesh” to Elena in order to reverse her transformation. Aeron’s interactions with Elena during their time together have a direct impact on the story, as the strength of their bond will determine which of the multiple endings is achieved.
Pandora’s Tower arrived on the European Wii U eShop back in April.
