Two Tribes wanted Nintendo and Valve to work together to bring Toki Tori 2’s level editor to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Before shelving Toki Tori 2’s level editor on Wii U, Two Tribes looked into a number of different possibility in hopes of realizing the functionality. One of these was to have Nintendo and Valve working together, and it sounds like things progressed pretty far before the idea was ultimately scrapped.
Two Tribes’ Martijn Reuvers told Kotaku that the studio’s “dream was basically to let users create levels on whatever platform they’d prefer and that they would be able to share it through Steam Workshop.” Players on Wii U would be able to login to Steam, similar to how Portal handled things on the PlayStation 3.
Sadly, it wasn’t met to be. Reuvers explained, “”After doing a thorough technical check, we decided that in order to create a near seamless integration, we needed more functionality that was out of our control.”
Reborn gains Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter for $1.09 million
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
A new action RPG, Reborn, has launched on Kickstarter for funding. The game “fuses Japanese lore with a futuristic cyberpunk western themed Japan created by a small passionate indie team.” East and west influences are incorporated into Reborn’s structure.
Developer Elemental-Labs is seeking $200,000 to make Reborn a reality and bring it to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC. The tricky part is a Wii U and Xbox One stretch goal at $1.09 million. That’s quite a hefty figure, but with 28 days remaining in the Kickstarter campaign, hopefully that target can be met.
You can find the official Reborn Kickstarter page here.

Hyper Light Drifter will be making its way to Wii U after reaching a stretch goal on Kickstarter. The $550,000 target was surpassed just a short while ago.
There’s still a little under two days remaining in the Hyper Light Drifter campaign, though it’s not clear what stretch goal lies ahead. Something extra will be unlocked at $600,000, but the specifics haven’t been confirmed just yet.

Two Tribes posts official notice on shelving Toki Tori 2’s Wii U level editor, giving out Steam codes to compensate
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Two Tribes has officially announced that the level editor originally planned for Toki Tori 2 on Wii U is “in the fridge” – or shelved. After considering the situation from a business perspective and looking at the technical and design problems, the studio felt making such a decision would be for the best.
Wii U owners won’t be left entirely empty handed, however. Those who have purchased the game can receive a free Steam code, which does come with the level editor.

The Fall scheduled for April 2014 launch on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
In the past, Over The Moon said the Wii U version of The Fall would launch “just shortly after the initial PC/Mac release.” That’s currently scheduled to happen in March of next year. The Wii U version is apparently set for release one month later – April 2014.
Of the recently confirmed Wii U version of The Fall, Over the Moon’s John Warner commented:
“I’m really excited to see The Fall on the Wii U. As the game was very Metroid inspired, a Nintendo platform seems like an obvious fit. I can’t wait to see how we can best use that fantastic controller.”
