Pandora’s Tower rumored for North America

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments

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.
