Update: Make that this Thursday! Two Tribes said “next” in one tweet and “this” in another. Surely it’s the latter…

The Toki Tori ESRB listing was indeed a confirmation that the game would soon be hitting the North American eShop. Developer Two Tribes has gone ahead and said that it will be available on the store next Thursday. Pricing has not yet been officially set.

PDP community manager Candace Hinton has responded to the Wii U release date “leak”.

Hinton said that the company isn’t sure when the console will launch. Even though some of PDP’s accessories may have a release date, consumers shouldn’t be taking that as the actual timing for the Wii U’s arrival.

“… at this time we can’t confirm Nintendo’s dates and we don’t know exactly what was heard, but we simply do not know that this point. We are launching accessories, but the date for the accessories doesn’t mean a confirmation on the hardware. If you seek confirmation on the date that is something that is going to need to go specifically though Nintendo, but we can’t confirm or deny dates on any of their hardware.”

Nintendo’s response to the situation was terse. A representative stated:

“We have nothing to announce at this time.”

Black Forest Games has been thinking about bringing Project Giana to Wii U. The game has receiving a great deal of attention on Kickstarter.

Senior producer Vladimir Ignatov recently told Destructoid that the team has been thinking about bringing Project Giana to Wii U. Ignatov seems to believe that the hardware and audience would be a good fit, but says BFG is “focusing on the other services” for now.

“To be honest, we’ve been tempted by Nintendo’s new hardware and put some thoughts into a Wii U port. With a handful of core third party titles that are already confirmed for Wii U, the console positioning seem to be in-line with Giana target audience and it would be reasonable for us to release it there. It goes without saying it would be great honor for us to stand shoulder to shoulder with these great Nintendo platformers. Right now we are focusing on the other services however.”

The GameStop managers’ conference has been taking place in Texas over the past few days. One of the more significant rumors coming from the event concerns the Wii U’s release date.

A PDP representative apparently hinted at a November 18 launch for Wii U. While talking about the company’s lineup, this person said that the Wii U peripherals would be available just ahead of the console’s November 18 release date.

A source told Kotaku:

“They changed the subject real quickly once they realized what they said.”

November 18 is one of many dates that have been thrown around thus far. Nintendo will confirm the Wii U’s launch information on September 13.

Man, I thought this game had already come out! Imagine the surprise on my face when I realized it not only was still in development, but didn’t even have a specific release date! The latter of those two statements might soon be rectified though, as a Donkey Kong parody car has finally been added to the 8bit GTA homage. Why is this significant?

Well, back in February one of the game’s developers hinted that the DK inclusion would be one of the last things added to RCR. Now that it’s here, will we see a release date within a few weeks? Maybe. I’d guess closer to a month or two though…
