Last month, Two Tribes delivered a promise that they would do everything in their power to bring Toki Tori 2. We now have a final confirmation that the game is coming to Nintendo’s new home console.

Two Tribes creative director and co-founder Collin van Ginkel has said that “it will be on Wii U. Definitely. Yes.”

That in itself is pretty fantastic news. But the company’s managing director Martijn Reuvers added that Toki Tori 2 might be available for the launch of Wii U.

He said:

“…we’re pretty sure that it’s going to happen really quickly after launch. Maybe at launch but we don’t know, depends on Nintendo plans.”

Small Wii U chatter at GDC

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

GDC is, well, for developers, so naturally folks attending the event are bound to hear a few things about the Wii U from various industry members.

Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo ran into a financial analyst and a developer today, and shared a couple of things about what he heard.

Totilo wrote:

“Wii U chatter was mixed on day 2. A financial analyst told me Nintendo is screwed. Not enough time to be out on their own. A developer told me their fortunes are mixed. Good ambition on Nintendo’s part, but, well… it’s Nintendo, everyone says it’s on Nintendo for the thing to succeed. Same as it ever was. It’s almost all on them.”

This is just one analyst and one developer, so I wouldn’t be concerned about the quotes above. And I really, really wouldn’t be surprised if the mystery analyst was Wedbush’s Michael Pachter…

Nintendo and Havok have reached a licensing agreement for the Havok Physics and Havok Animation on Wii U. This will allow third-parties to use the engine on Wii U.

Similarly, it was announced today that Nintendo and Autodesk, Inc. have reached a licensing agreement “to provide Autodesk Gameware technology to its licensed developers creating video games for the upcoming Wii U platform and helping differentiate Nintendo’s new hardware”.

Announcements about these two partnerships can be found after the break.

Shin’en can make games for Wii U

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Time to add Shin’en to the long list of registered Wii U developers! The studio’s website states, “We develop high quality games for WiiU, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color using proprietary tools.”

Shin’en has been a big supporter of Nintendo platforms for more than a decade, so I’m sure they’ll be cooking up some great titles for Wii U.
