Tic Toc Games considering different ideas for the future, including possible Adventures of Pip sequel
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Now that Tic Toc Games has wrapped up development on Adventures of Pip, fans of the game are starting to wonder what the studio might work on next. Two possibilities exist: the studio could either develop something like a sequel to that title, or create something entirely new. Tic Toc Games definitely appears to be open to either option.
When asked by Hardcore Gamer if Tic Toc Games has an idea already planned for a new game, CEO Shereef Morse said:
Oh, we have so many. Honestly we have a lot of IP we want to explore next, and we’ve actually been a little gridlocked here as to what to green-light next, because we’re so focused on getting Pip out. And you know, we have all these great ideas in incubation, but for now we’re 100% Pip. We’re really just making sure that all goes smoothly. But after that, one of the things we talk about is “Is there an evolution to Pip?”, and the next version of Pip, you know. Maybe a sequel? But then we have all these other cool characters we want to bring onto consoles as well, and we really just have to decide what to go after next. But right now we just want to make sure this one’s done right and 100%.
Adventures of Pip just launched on the North American Wii U eShop last Thursday. There are plans to have it arrive in Europe as well, but a date has not been determined just yet.

Nintendo eShop to become part of IARC in the future
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo | 5 Comments
Last week, we reported on Tappingo coming to Europe soon, with the exception of Germany, where the game will not be released likely in part due to the cost of having to acquire an age rating for Germany in addition to the PEGI rating required for the rest of Europe. However, situations like that might soon be a thing of the past. GoNintendo reports that the Nintendo eShop, in addition to other platforms, will join the IARC (International Age Rating Coalition), which allows to developers to more easily obtain appropriate age ratings for various regions simply be filling out a form. In an increasingly globalized marketplace, this is certainly a welcome option.
It might be a while before this has a tangible benefit for Nintendo platforms, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. We’ll keep you updated on further developments.
