Pandora's Tower will have support for classic controller

[shito]

Retailers have shared a few additional details on Nintendo's new Wii action RPG Pandora's Tower.

The game's control scheme was previously somewhat of a mystery as many assumed the game's chain mechanics meant motion controls. This actually is the case, but only optionally.

Main character Ende wields a chain as his primary means of attack. This special chain is capable of tearing the flesh of the beasts that he encounters, something he must do because Ceres, the game's heroine, requires beast flesh to survive a curse which is slowly turning her a beast, both physically and mentally.

As you make your way to the boss that awaits on the top floor of each of the game's thirteen towers, you can use the chain in the following ways:
Grab and pull flesh and items from beasts.
Restrain the beasts with the chain and then go in for the kill with another weapon.
Restrain one beast with the chain, then swing it around to strike other enemies.
Use the chain to latch on to walls and swing from location to location.
Use the chain to manipulate switches.

You can control the action either with the Wiimote and Nunchuck or with the Classic Controller. When using the Wiimote and Nunchuck combo, the Wiimote directly controls the chain, allowing you to feel like you're swinging a real chain apparently. The Classic Controller option allows for pure button-based play.

More control options are always a good thing. I'm a bit confused though, the second paragraph said motion controls are optional, but from looking at the last paragraph it sounds like wiimote + nunchuck has forced motion. I hope not, but it won't stop me from playing the game.

Fingers crossed for GC controller support.

Motion is optional. Wiimote+Nunchuk = motion, Classic Controller = non-motion.

The more control schemes the better, I suppose. Sounds good to me.

I hope this gets to the U.S. This looks pretty great. I wish this would be translated considering there are practically no translations for most other games.

When you think about it, the fact a wii game supports traditional controls is news, is actually pretty sad.
