There’s another sparse week of downloads for the Wii U, with Wind-Up Knight 2 the only new eShop title, while the Wii game Pandora’s Tower graces the Wii U eShop for the first time. If you’re unfamiliar with Pandora’s Tower, it was one of the games included in the localization push from fans late in the Wii’s life cycle. Xenoblade Chronicles and Pandora’s Tower were two of the most sought after Wii games when they launched in the United States.
