XSEED: Pandora’s Tower did “pretty well”, tough finding the right “bigger games” for 3DS retail, future announcements
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Pandora’s Tower is XSEED’s latest and likely final Wii title localized by the company. It came out during a fairly difficult period – once the Wii U was in the spotlight and at the beginning of the year.
Thankfully, Pandora’s Power did “pretty well”, according to executive vice-president Ken Berry. Had XSEED published the title during the 2012 holiday season, however, it “could have done much better”.
Berry told Siliconera:
“Pandora’s Tower has done pretty well, though not quite the level that The Last Story enjoyed. It probably could have done much better if we could have released it last holiday season rather than the first quarter of this year.”
Target advertises Wii U… by showing a Wii console
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 14 Comments
When the Wii U was first revealed, some people were confused as to whether the console was brand new or simply an add-on for the Wii. Things have become clearer since then, but the uncertainty hasn’t dissipated completely.
Retailer giant Target seems to be among those who remain confused about the Wii U – at least if a recent ad is to go by.
A new ad posted online indicates that Target used a Wii console to show the Wii U. As you can see in the photo above, a GamePad controller sits on top of a Wii system – not a Wii U console. Ah well… close enough.
