Game Boy Color game Toki Tori finds new life on WiiWare
The original Toki Tori game was released at the end of the Game Boy Color’s lifetime, and was therefore overshadowed by the release of the Game Boy Advance. However, the game was critically acclaimed, and so it should be a good one to look forward to come May 12th. Check after the break for the full press release and a couple of screens.
‘TWO TRIBES ANNOUNCES TOKI TORI FOR WIIWARE’HARDERWIJK, The Netherlands, April 10th 2008
Two Tribes, the Dutch game developer behind “Worms: Open Warfare 2″ for Nintendo DS, today announces the imminent release of Toki Tori for Nintendo Wii. The game is to be made available through the upcoming WiiWare downloadable game service.
Toki Tori for Nintendo Wii marks the entry of Two Tribes into the world of home-console games. Based on the critically acclaimed Game Boy Color game, this update improves the original on every front. Sporting a new look, updated content and a completely overhauled Wii Remote control scheme, the game offers players of all ages a classic gaming experience while making the most out of Nintendo’s Wii console.
The gameplay in Toki Tori is a blend of two genres. While it looks like a platform game, it’s a puzzle game by heart. Players will have to look and plan ahead carefully while using a variety of items, such as the Telewarp, Freeze-o-Matic and InstantRockTM to name but a few.
Toki Tori will be made available through Nintendo’s WiiWare service, which is scheduled to launch on the 12th of May in the USA. Availability in Europe and Australia will depend on the roll-out of WiiWare in those territories.
