Two Tribes’ Toki Tori 2 will be released this year as a downloadable title from Steam and the Wii U eShop. Two Tribes co-founder Collin van Ginkel says that Toki Tori 2 is being developed for Nintendo’s new system because of three reasons: the brand-new Wii U GamePad, the console’s powerful hardware, and the supposition that Nintendo is committed to its online strategy with the Wii U.
Moving onto Wii U specifically, can you share why you chose to release this on Nintendo’s new system?
“A new controller, more powerful hardware and a Nintendo that seems truly committed to their online strategy. What more could we wish for!”
Are we correct in assuming that this is a download title? If so, what are your impressions so far, if any, of the eShop setup on Wii U?
“It will most definitely be a downloadable title. We haven’t released a boxed game since 2008 and don’t plan on doing that anytime soon. As for the shop, I commend Nintendo for moving forward with new features such as full downloads of retail titles, which bodes well for the future.”
i am looking forward to getting the digital copies of all of my games
While some games I will buy will be digital however collectible hardcopies for Zelda and metroid will be a must.
I’ll be getting some as digital others not. It’s determined on how long I plan to own the title. If it’s a shot in the dark, likely the disc so I can trade it if I dislike it. No brainer games will be definitely digital.
only shitty small games like these , real games nead real cases.
look at kingdom hearts mark of mastery edition. that game poo splatted on the idea of some data for the same price . i want the data and some factory smelling tree and plastic aswell.
all of them
not sure if sarcastic
or serious
a lil bit of both
No offense, but I can’t take your comments seriously.
And your “Sarcastic Face Link” is to blame.
Commitment, dedication, and loyalty. The three elements of making Nintendo’s new console a definite must.
More like gimmicks, rehashes, barely any gameplay in the longrun.
Either you’re sucking Sony or Microsoft’s dick, or you enjoy playing games online for $50? What you’ve failed to realize that Nintendo will have digital downloads from first and third party publishers and developers and independant developers. Toki Tori 2 is one of them as well as Trine 2: Director’s Cut.
When people don’t understand technology, they call it a gimmick
Even Nintendo knows the 3DS is a gimmick. Nintendo won’t be using the 3D feature in future handhelds.
feature =/= gimmick.
Why the fuck would they do the same every time?
GBA SP’s main feature: clamshell design
Now look where that went.
…. The DS? The soon to be most popular console of all time? Is that really your example?
a gimmik that works very well and can be turned off. and is a selling point.
like it or not.
gtfo now trole cake .
the ps vita is a gimmik. ipod touch screen , horrible AR , crap motion , a laptop mouse on the back . no stylus , horrible shovel spin off games. it just keep getting worse.
the 3ds is a settled platform with awesome softeware about to hit full flight and wipe the ds’s sales records off the chart.
little deviants is a gimmik . resident evil and monster hunter isnt.
“ipod touch screen”
Lol, you are such a fucking idiot with the most shitty methods of defense I’ve ever seen employed, it’s embarrassing.
It’s no wonder Nintendo fanboys are made fun of.
-facepalm-
they said they will have it if needed in future portables
Sad to tell you angry blackman but nintendo stated it will be in its next gen handheld so you’re entry involved
Post where have they stated this.
Hey shit for brains… 3D without glasses is the way of the future. Get fucking used to it will ya? It’s Nintendo’s choice to have games presented in 3D. If they want to do a game without 3D, there’s always room for Nintendo DS.
Graphics (and anything graphics related) are the only real gimmicks out there.
So being able to see the damn game is a gimmick?
You are one stupid motherfucker.
LMFAO ;) you owned that fag !
Enjoy giving blow jobs to Aeolus much, Nessie poo?
If anything, Sony & Microsoft games are more likely to have “barely any gameplay”. I like to call them movie games, ’cause they’re so realistic and filled with cutscenes, that you might as well make it a movie instead of a game.
You have never played any of those games, stop kidding yourself.
….
Amen!
quality developer right here
THIS^^^
Good to hear, when someone who releases their games digitally commends it, i have faith. Now i want to see Miiverse interface and online games and im all set
Woo! Steam and Wii U only? Sounds like a powerful console to me!
What if, they were one in the same D: in my dreams xD
That would be sweet, I’d be down for Half Life and Portal for Wii U.
IF Half Life 3 get released, ever, it’ll most likely be on all systems, Gaben likes Nintendo
Lets keep our fingers crossed!
Online’s gonna be a big part of Wii U with Miiverse. I’m more of an offline gaming kind of dude, but who knows? I may get into it. Leave luck to heaven.
Lol their online is utter shit
wii online was. wii u is using a different online
“different online”
You mean different online system.
there are not the same.
“There” and “they’re” are not the, same either.
…and “they’re are” is stupid and redundant.
When it’s released in November, it’s gonna change. The Nintendo Network will be a much better online service that’s better than Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection used in Wii, DS and 3DS. With the Nintendo Network, it does everything.
Any information about how security on Nintendo Network will work?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Network
the Nintendo Network already exists for 3DS
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I just can’t wait till September anymore! D:
I can’t wait a second more…;p
DAMu NINTENDO COMMON TAKE MY FUCKEN MONEY I AND STOP TEASING ME WITH THE NEWS AND GIVE ME THE WIIU
Still curious to see if they decided on the optional subscriptio service, like PSN plus, would joing that in a heart beat if it had exclusive content, discounts and freebies
The Wii U has a better launch line up than every console from the last gen!

I won’t download. I want an actual copy in my hands…to hold. I want to be able to flip through manual in booklet form. There is a lot to be said about the old days.
don’t forget u want to smell the cover
oh god
oh no now i don’t know what to do anymore
soul blaze ha good one
Game like this, Trine 2, and other small and indie games will only be on the store?
glad they getting there online act together
Never big on indy games.
Indie games are epic. Especially when they have user generated content, endless fun
good good let the hate flow
I just wish Nintendo was this commited of being more Environmentaly Friendly aswell.
Then they could also show that you can be succesfull, fun and responsible all at the same time.
Oh, I see! You’re the Website Idiot!
in other news ff 13 versus wil be hitting wii u spring 2013
Source please.
Yeah a source would be nice…
There was a video a while back before E3 what was basically Versus 13 renamed to FF15, and at the end it has a PS3 and WiiU logo
jus joking yall there was a rumor i heard tho that it was change to ff15 i sure hope so
They got so excited, HAHAHA.
With the new Pokemon 3DS XL, I will now most certainly wait for more colors.
Because they ARE coming.
And my Black 3DS is sexy. It’s also more portible. (It also has lines from the lower screen… GRAWER!!!) – But I still like it.
Haha this. So much of this
Can’t they just let us download a game from our disc into a hard drive plugged into the console. That way we can play them without inserting the disc? The I would NEVER buy a download version of a game.
We’ll have to wait and see.
I hope nintendo start to make more downlandable games
nintendo if a peice of shit sony smashes this
Sony is already a piece of shit, Nessie. No wonder Siegfried fucks you in the ass.
