Two Tribes hasn’t confirmed a price point for Toki Tori 2. Heck, we still don’t have a specific release date. But when Toki Tori 2 launches next month, most would probably agree that it’ll be worth your money no matter the cost.
On Twitter, Two Tribes said that its upcoming Wii U eShop game will probably take around ten hours to complete. That’s pretty lengthy for a downloadable release!

Assassin’s Creed reveal due on Monday
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag looks like it’ll be the next entry in Ubisoft’s semi-long-running series. Details are mostly being kept secret for now, but a proper announcement is due early next week.
Earlier today, Ubisoft held a press event to showcase the game. According to a tweet from publication MCV, information won’t be available until Monday.
My guess: Ubisoft will make an official announcement on Monday with the first bits of information. Game Informer will have a blowout of Black Flag in its April issue, which will likely be available on Tuesday. The magazine has a tendency to feature Assassin’s Creed games on its April covers.

Sakurai says his arm pains are worse than originally thought, and it’s impacting work on Smash Bros.
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Last month we reported on some unfortunate muscle pains that were plaguing Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, but this month we have some even worse news: Doctors say the issue is more severe than originally thought, and he’ll have to cease using his right arm almost entirely in the coming weeks. Don’t take my word for it, though, here’s Sakurai himself explaining the issue in a weekly blog he writes for Famitsu:
“If this disorder lingers, or if it never gets fixed, there’s no telling what impact that would have on the project. I’ve had to control two characters at once in a lot of game projects up to now, so as long as I keep it to simple moves, this works well enough. It doesn’t go that easy with the Nintendo 3DS version, though, and the debug camera is pretty hard to control. Still, now I realize how important it is to have your health. I’m glad I’m still in good enough shape to work.”
– Kirby, Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai
Well… at least we know the 3DS version has a debug camera now! Best of luck to Sakurai, and I think I speak for a lot of folk when I say I hope he gets better both for Smash Bros. and for his own sake!
