Posted on 9 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.

Freedom Planet apparently pushed back again, now out next Thursday
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Update: GalaxyTrail’s official message is below. It doesn’t sound like the developer is committing to a specific date, though the thread title does state August 20.
As luck would have it, a serious bug in the Wii U version of Freedom Planet was found today that causes Wii U consoles to freeze, requiring a hard reset of the system. This bug only occurs in retail versions of the console, so neither Nintendo nor MP2 experienced the issue and we were only made aware of it by members of the press who tried the game over the past couple days.
We cannot allow the game to launch in a state that would potentially cause damage to Wii U consoles or make players think there is something wrong with their console, so we are delaying again until the issue is fixed. No one is more disappointed at this than me, but we have to do what we have to do.
Thank you for your patience and we will continue to update you on the status of our Wii U release.
Freedom Planet was initially scheduled to arrive on the North American Wii U eShop on August 3. Most recently, the title was pushed back to August 13 (this Thursday). Now it’s looking like Freedom Planet is seeing yet another slight delay.
Nintendo is now listing Freedom Planet for release on August 20, which would be next week. Let’s hope that date finally sticks!

Here’s a neat little piece of information that some folks may have overlooked when Xenoblade Chronicles launched on the European Wii U eShop last week. Thanks to the RPG’s support of the Classic Controller, the GamePad can be used. That essentially means that off-TV play is supported.
