BREAK THE CURSE – CHANGE HER FATE
Nintendo announces the upcoming release of Pandora’s Tower, the newest epic action RPG on Wii
14 February 2012 – Pandora’s Tower™ is the latest action-packed RPG to come from Nintendo and will be available across Europe exclusively on Wii™ from 13th April 2012. With real-time combat, motion controls, multiple endings and a unique relationship system, Pandora’s Tower offers a unique experience and an epic story that will keep you engrossed for hours.
In Pandora’s Tower you take on the role of Aeron, a soldier, as he battles to save his beloved friend Elena from a mysterious curse that is gradually transforming her into a demonic creature. Only by battling through the towers of a nearby fortress can Aeron save her from her gruesome fate. Using his sword and the magical Oraclos Chain, Aeron must defeat the creatures that lurk there and harvest their meat to feed to Elena. Only by eating all of the “master flesh”, harvested from the largest monsters within each tower, will Elena be fully cured of the curse and free from its monstrous grip.

All of Miyamoto’s responses can be found after the break.
Konami removes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the Wii Shop Channel due to an expired license
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The NES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was pulled from the Wii Shop Channel last week without any sort of notice.
Konami today revealed the decision behind the game’s removal. You won’t find Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in any region due to an expired license. A separate company most likely has rights to the TMNT brand, meaning Konami can no longer collect profits on the Virtual Console title.
