Could North America end up getting Pandora’s Tower, the final game in the Wii RPG trinity? Short answer: Possibly.

NinTemple has posted an alleged audio recording of a conversation held with a GameStop manager, hinting at a potential announcement.

If it’s reliable, pre-orders will begin in June. Apparently an internal GameStop message informed employees to tell customers about The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower when they purchased Xenoblade Chronicles last Friday.

One issue is that we can’t confirm the validity of the recording. The manager also mentioned some inaccurate information, including how Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story are GameStop exclusives. We all know this isn’t true.

We’ll mark this as a rumor for the time being.

Nielsen has conducted a new study to determine the most-anticipated titles on the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. GameSpot reports that the rankings are “the result of the firm combining eight ‘key consumer metrics’ like awareness and purchase interest into a total rank, and then comparing it to scores for previously released games on the same platform.”

Titles announced before March 23 were eligible to appear on the list. Additionally, the games must be planned for launch between April and December.
