Always listen to your backpack

While Nintendo may be gearing up for the big E3 reveal of its Wii successor, the company still has a few aces up its sleeve for its little-white-box-that-could. While the Wii hasn't housed the most robust selection of RPGs over the years, Nintendo has been playing some serious catch up with games like Mistwalker's The Last Story, Monolith Soft's Xenoblades Chronicles and the latest action RPG, Pandora's Tower.

In the hour of footage below, you'll be treated to various in-game cutscenes, but since the game is currently Japan-only, you'll need to know Japanese to follow the story. Luckily, there is plenty of action to check out too, like the game's combo-heavy sword combat and motion-controlled chain attacks. You'll also get a glimpse at the puzzle-solving mechanics at play, as well as the game's various locales, which start with a sprawling landscape before entering the dingy innards of Pandora's Tower. Oh, and there is a creepy, talking backpack, too. Of course.
