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.”

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.

Licensed games often tend to bomb from a critical standpoint, nor are they system sellers. So it makes quite a bit of sense for Disney to take a step back from this market and instead use the upcoming Disney Infinity title to promote new films.

You may have noticed that new releases such as Monsters University and The Lone Ranger did not receive their own video games. Instead, they’re getting their own Play Sets in Disney Infinity. We’ll likely be seeing similar promotion for future films, according to producer John Day.

Day told MCV:

“They serve as a perfectly adequate replacement for a standalone licensed product. We already use Infinity to support films and even events at the theme parks. That is part of Infinity’s purpose. The value there is really high and I’m prepared to stand behind any of those as excellent games by themselves.”
