Toki Tori 2 is a little more than a month away from arriving on the Wii U eShop. Developer Two Tribes announced a December 20 launch date for the downloadable title today.

Initially, there had been hopes of making the game available for the Wii U launch. Two Tribes said it is “simply not there yet, so we’re taking our time to make sure the game lives up to our standards.”

The studio also commented on why the Wii U version took priority over the Steam release in terms of releasing first:

Much can change in the course of a year. The game’s coming out on Wii U first, but when we started developing Toki Tori 2, we initially announced it for Steam. This switch was never officially addressed, and we want to give you a bit of insight into how this came to be.

Since we’re a relatively small indie studio, a lot is riding on the success of Toki Tori 2 for us. We have spent well over a year with everyone at Two Tribes on this single project, which means Toki Tori 2 will be the only source of income for a while to come. When Nintendo announced their plans for the Wii U, we decided early on that the game needed to be on that platform, but it wasn’t until we noticed that our completion date and the Wii U launch date aligned that we made the call.

Making something for a console launch has several benefits from a development and business standpoint. You don’t have to support a wide range of configurations as you would need to on Steam, meaning we can release earlier after we finish the game. And business-wise, it makes a lot of sense to be available at or around launch, since players are very eager for new things to play on their new devices.

It’s really not very often that simply hearing the premise of a game makes you tingle with excitement. ZombiU does that a little bit, Minecraft has that draw, and another such game came along when it was shown at E3 a few years ago. That game, predictably, was Scribblenauts. The concept of creating anything was legitimately awesome (as in, full of awe– not “super cool”), and 5th Cell went ahead and topped even that by throwing adjectives into the mix with the second game in the series, Super Scribblenauts. The sheer grandioseness of the series is almost daunting at times, and if you don’t relax and let your imagination take over you may find yourself stuck for ideas, which in turn may cause your opinion of the game to suffer!

So yea. Don’t do that.
