Toki Tori 2 uses the Wii U GamePad for Tokidex feature
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
We’re basically known for a few months now that Toki Tori 2 would be coming to Wii U. Today though, Two Tribes officially confirmed that its new project will be brought to the console.
Toki Tori 2 will be making use of the GamePad’s analog stick and buttons, but the controller will be specifically used for a new “Tokidex” feature.
Two Tribes explained how this feature works in a new blog post:
“The Tokidex feature allows you to scan the area around Toki Tori for creatures and objects by using the Wii U Gamepad as a virtual camera with a viewfinder. Any creatures photographed will be added to the Tokidex. It’s quite fun to do, especially with creatures that move quite a bit!”

Picdun sequel due out on the Japanese eShop later this month
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Last year, Intense made GO Series: Picdun for DSiWare. The studio is now working on a sequel for the Japanese eShop.
Picdun 2, much like its predecessor, is a dungeon-crawler. There are 60 floors to go through, and this time around you’ll be accompanied by a magical girl, a being with a whip, and an archer shoots others in their hearts to make them fall in love.
The downloadable title includes an auto-mapping system. Another gameplay element allows players to return to the entrance by taking an elevator that appears every five floors.
When Picdun 2 hits Japan, it’ll carry a CERO B rating. That’s slightly higher than the first game. As for why it’s received a slight bump-up, Intense advises players to try out the game and discover the reason for themselves.
Picdun 2 will be available in Japan on August 22 for 500 yen. We’ll probably be seeing this game overseas fairly soon.

Level-5 is continuing its efforts with the Inazuma Eleven franchise on 3DS.
It’s been confirmed that Level-5 is readying a new compilation, titled “Inazuma Eleven 1.2.3!! Legend of Endo Mamoru”, that features six DS games on a single cart. Presumably, the package will contain the first game, the two versions of the second and third entries, and The Ogre.
Along with the six games, each has been reformatted with widescreen visuals.
Inazuma Eleven 1.2.3!! Legend of Endo Mamoru launches in Japan on November 15 for 5,800 yen.
