Pandora's Tower, known in Japan as Pandora's Tower: Until I Return to Your Side (パンドラの塔　君のもとへ帰るまで Pandora no Tō: Kimi no Moto e Kaeru Made), is an action role-playing video game. It is developed for the Wii by Ganbarion and published by Nintendo in Japan on May 26, 2011, and was later release in Europe.

In June 23, 2011, a fan campaign called "Operation Rainfall" was started to persuade Nintendo to localize Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower for North America. After both Xenoblade and The Last Story were both released in North America, Pandora's Tower was finally released by Xseed Games on April 16, 2013.
