[Alcoholikaust]

Nice-WiiU gamepad support is great

 

[UltimaWeapon]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Now "The Last Story" please.

Great news.

 

[Exile20]

Nice, took your time Nintendo.

 

[Htown]

oh, nice!

I hadn't bought that one.

 

[Maintenance]

Nice, might get because of the Gamepad support.

 

[Effect]

About damn time but a little to late for me. I picked up a disc copy from GameStop last month for around the same price and it's been so long I can't return it.

 

[BOTEC]

Hmm. I never bothered picking this up on the Wii because I've heard mediocre things about it. $20 seems like a good price point. Might bite.

 

[Vena]

Praise be to fortune.

 

[anotherVegan]

Game pad support? I might just pick it up.

Spoiler

I still have to finish Xenoblade and The Last Story

 

[El Odio]

Was this game any good? Gamepad only support makes it very appealing to me for $20 if so.

 

[khaaan]

Ah, now to answer the eternal question.

Do I leave my copy sealed and buy it again?

 

[UberTag]

Came out in Europe in April, eh? So 4 months until Xenoblade Chronicles then?
They're really going to wait until the sequel hits to release it, aren't they?
Especially when the Western media isn't going to be nearly as kind to it?

Okay... good luck with that.

 

[HyperHip]

Will my save file on wii mode work with this? if so I will double dip.

Very fun game btw, like a 3d Castlevania on the Wii.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Will my save file on wii mode work with this? if so I will double dip.

Yes, it will

 

[Zero²]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
now NoA don't fuck it up and release Xenoblade too pls

 

[Xbro]

Now for Xenoblade.....

 

[Clov]

Is this being done by NoA or Xseed? I'm curious.

 

[Umibozu]

Don't like the Canadian pricing, hopefully they decide to put The Last Story up soon as well

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hell Yes!

 

[Eila]

Ah, now to answer the eternal question.

Do I leave my copy sealed and buy it again?

Yes. Even more so if you want to play it on gamepad sometimes. It does help these long games.

 

[Velkyn]

Knowing myself, I'll probably pick it up.

 

[MilesTeg]

Haven't played this one yet. Might bite. Disc version is only $30 though new at Amazon...

Anyway, not gonna lie. I never expected this to hit NA eShop.

 

[Pikma]

Fuck it I'm double dipping

 

[JMDSO]

The only one of the 3 I don't have.

 

[OuterLimits]

Is it true that there is a major glitch in the game and is it easy to avoid?

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Y'all got any of them Xenoblades?

 

[De_Legend]

Nice, might bite.

 

[SephLuis]

This game received the less attention of the rainfall games and I liked it more than The Last Story.

Buy it, people. This game deserves more attention. The gameplay and dungeons are great and the story, while simple, is interesting.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I want this and The Last Story, come on Nintendo.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Return to the Dreamland a couple weeks ago. Pandora's Tower tomorrow... could the NA VC actually be getting Wii games now? If so, awesome!

 

[Order]

This means Xenoblade next week right?

Right?

 

[TheMoon]

Nice, might get because of the Gamepad support.

The game is better played with a Wiimote, though.

This means Xenoblade next week right?

Right?

It's definitely possible, given that they seem to consider Wii downloads as VC games now.

 

[Ondore]

Is this being done by NoA or Xseed? I'm curious.

XSEED is the publisher still.

 

[Kazer]

Never did get around to this or The Last Story on my Wii so I'll probably pick it up.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Probably the worst of the 3 Operation Rainfall games." Worst" meaning 'still really good game overall, just the other 2 are better'.

 

[Pikma]

Pandora's Tower is basically the best 3D Castlevania game I've ever played.

Worst? Nope

 

[sturgboski]

Right?

Please Reggie, you know what to do.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Pandora's Tower is basically the best 3D Castlevania game I've ever played.
Worst? Nope

I haven't played it, but if this is true then I'm excited.

 

[Hero of Legend]

XSEED first 3rd-party in the west confirmed on this then. HOPEFULLY Little King Story is soon!

 

[Fou-Lu]

Probably the worst of the 3 Operation Rainfall games." Worst" meaning 'still really good game overall, just the other 2 are better'.

Xenoblade > Pandora's Tower > The Last Story

 

[cand]

YES! Bring Last Story too.

 

[miserable]

do Wii games bought from the eshop run in full screen?

 

[-Horizon-]

Pretty much my fave game out of the 3 operation rainfall games. I don't know why, I just liked it more.

 

[massoluk]

Didn't buy this game the first time around, but may buy this time at that price

 

[kunonabi]

hopefully more people this since it was my second favorite rainfall game right behind The Last Story. Playing it without the wiimote/nunchuk is a terrible idea though.

 

[Niraj]

Is it true that there is a major glitch in the game and is it easy to avoid?

Yes, the last tower, if you leave and enter again it can make your game crash. Not sure if it's guaranteed, but you can find a lot of people experiencing that problem if you search around.

If you finish the last tower in one go you can avoid it entirely, and that's the easiest way. There are some fixes if you don't and do trigger it, but as far as I know there isn't any universal way of dealing with it aside from what I first mentioned. Oddly it's only present in the NA version I'm pretty sure, though somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Really great game though. Hope you people who pick it up enjoy it.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Xenoblade > Pandora's Tower > The Last Story

Eh fair enough. I still enjoyed it, I just wouldn't put it above Xenoblade and Last Story(personally).

 

[L Thammy]

Personally my favourite of the Rainfall trilogy. It's got creative ideas and gameplay, but is also pretty refined.

Is it true that there is a major glitch in the game and is it easy to avoid?

Yes and yes - if I remember right. The game sometimes hangs if you backtrack once you're at the end of the game. There are weird workarounds for this.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

While it can be played on the Gamepad, the game is clearly made with pointer controls in mind.

Using the Classic Controller on the original release was unwieldy as could be.
