Toki Tori

Toki Tori (WiiWare)

Toki Tori is his name, and collecting eggs is his game. In this puzzle/platform game, players use a variety of items such as the Telewarp, InstantRock and Slug Sucker. Clever use and combination of these items are needed to solve all the game’s levels, of which there are more than 70. Levels range from easy to brain-teasingly hard, resulting in dozens of hours of puzzle play time.

Toki Tori makes the most of what Wii has to offer. It uses the Wii Remote for a unique control scheme, which offers players a new and more relaxing play style. A second player can help you out by drawing hints while you are playing. The game even uses the Wii Message Board in a unique way.

Is this Toki Tori's grand comeback or is our feathered friend best left forgotten?

In 1994, the relatively unknown Dutch company, Fony, released a quirky little game called Eggbert for the MSX home computer. The system was never really all that popular outside Japan, but a few European countries (the Netherlands included) had quite a..

I'm excited not only for all these new underground titles coming through Wiiware, but also remakes (or even better, sequels) of great games that sadly didn't sell to well for various reasons (Beyond Good & Evil anybody?)! I remember really regretting never picking up this title since I felt it was too kiddy (same happened with Shantae), but I've grown out of this now.

Hmmm, though I'm puzzled as if this is a remake in 3-D or a sequel, reviewing partner says that the levels shown in the video are both the exact same levels from the first game...? I'm tempted to get do an interview for myself (I write a local teen paper as the video game dude)!

On a side note, extremely funny video though I laughed when the camera hit the vaccum!

looks like it will be fun
i get it if its under 8 bucks

I laughed throughout the video, especially when the camera hit the vacuum. It does look cute, so I'd probably buy it if it wasn't too expensive. But will it fit on my Wii w/all those other virtual console games I have? AHHH the suspense!

So is this a remake or a sequel? Some of the levels look just like the old one.

This game looks promising... I'll definitely be downloading this when it's released. I hadn't even heard of the original game before, so it's a bonus for me if it's a remake.

Cool Game, Buying even if it is 1000 Wii Points, gonna try to get the oringinal sometime, or if it is out on the VC.

8. TheLuigiDude United States 14 Apr 2008, 22:15 GMT

I'm hoping it's not solely a enhanced port with better graphics since a game store close to me has the original for about $9. If so, I think I'll just get the GBC version.

Looks like a good puzzler... I hope it brings a stage editor, maybe is too much to ask for... but really a stage editor would be nice.

If its a decent cost, I think I will download this as soon as it gets put up.

Looks good as long it's 1000 points or below. A Puzzle and plaforming game is definetly something different.

I heard that it's a remake. but since I have never played the original,I migh try it out.

What a nice trailer! I wonder how much they'll price it for.

16. Objection_Blaster United States 13 May 2008, 21:20 GMT

Hmm...800 pts sounds good. 1000 being the maximum. I hope it uses sieways wiimote, as that way it could be a nice chill game.

17. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 13 May 2008, 21:25 GMT

Yeah, I'd imagine it would be NES-Style for the control scheme. Unless maybe you'd flap your wings by shaking the Remote. But that could be mapped to a button press also, which I can easily see happening.

This game is awesome. I've played this on the GBC and the puzzles are very clever. It's also very addicting and pretty long. If you like good puzzle games this will be absolutely worth your WiiPoints.

I'm expecting this to be similar to Donkey Kong '94 on the Game Boy.

25. Thores United States 20 May 2008, 15:25 GMT

This looks great and is reasonably priced, but the 290 freakin blocks of space is kind of a turn off. Especially considering that's more space than FFCC:MLaaK takes up.

Two Tribes needs to release a new Eggbert game on wiiware. It would be fun creating levels on the wii and battling online.

This game looks pretty interesting too and i wanna try it out since i watched the video and looks cool.

I went to play the old GBC game on my laptop to see what differences there are. I like how there is no jump button on the WiiWare version - Toki Tori now automatically walks up the small blocks you used to have to jump on on the GBC version.

Although I'm a huge puzzle fan, I still don't know if it's worth it.

@Knuckles
Its worth it for 900 points.The levels are really challenging unless
you have it for the GBC it's basically a remake.

Avatar

31. Twilight United States 30 May 2008, 21:46 GMT

it is a remake. i don't have the original so... also, it has enhanced graphics and it has a lot of added levels to it that weren't on the original. i hate puzzle games, but i am getting this one. and, i have heard that it has a lot of hours on gameplay. if you get stuck, message Two Tribes and they can help you... or so i have heard.

I'm thinking about getting this one, but I'm waiting for some developer to make a 3d adventure game...

Just got it and started playing it today. This game is quite awesome, way better than I expected. The hard stages are indeed hard, and I've yet to come across one that had more than one solution.

This game is AWESOME. Enough said.

I'm on Bubble Barrage, 5 atm (which is the same stage they show off in the Trailer on this page! It reveals to me how to get an egg that has alluded me on my first run-through from this morning!). I've completed quite a few Hard stages as well. But the game is so much fun, and very challenging. Hard to put down and I ALWAYS come back to it. The OST is good, too! :)

i am on level 4-5 too. although i haven't played recently, but i might pick it up and beat it later.

42. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 25 Jun 2008, 14:59 GMT

I know how to beat it but I need to work harder on SSR first (Tuorney ends tonight!), then tomorrow, I'll beat 4-5. I already figured it out in my head. And then I'll a new postcard and then be on 4-6. :)
