Toki Tori 2 was considered to be a good game by those who played it, but unfortunately, that didn’t translate into strong sales. The game’s poor performance ultimately bankrupted one half of the company.
At GDC 2015 last week, Two Tribes co-founder Collin van Ginkel spoke with Eurogamer about what went wrong with Toki Tori 2:
“I don’t think I would have bought Toki Tor 2 if I was a consumer. That doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s a good game. I think we did a really great job. But it’s not something I would have bought myself.”
Van Ginkel added that Two Tribes originally intended to work on Toki Tori 2 on 6-9 months, but ended up developing the title for two years.

The file sizes for today’s digital Nintendo downloads keep coming in! This one is for Don’t Touch Anything Red. You’ll need 288.6MB of space in order to download the game.
Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco have revealed four new tracks from Project CARS. They are as follows:
Sonoma Raceway
Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) is a hilly road course and drag strip located in California. Twinned with Watkins Glen International (also in Project CARS) as a host of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series it sees regular use by many other motorsports on both four wheels and two.Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Home to the Formula One Grand Prix, 24H endurance event, and many more, the famous circuit has seen many layout changes since 1920 although the infamously flat-out Eau Rouge has largely remained untouched making it one of the fastest and most exciting tracks in motorsports today.Brno
Opened in 1987, the relatively-new Brno Circuit has been host to the World Sports Car Championship, A1 Grand Prix, and the Czechoslovakian Motocycle Grand Prix.Willow Springs International Motorsports Park
With a blistering lap time of just 1 minute 6 seconds held by legendary racer Michael Andretti, the 9-turn track is the oldest permanent road course in the United States with elevation changes and high average speeds making it a favourite amongst drivers.
View the gallery above for screenshots from each track.

Trine Enchanted Edition has officially launched on the North American Wii U eShop. Keep in mind that the download is nearly 800MB. That’s not huge, but it isn’t a small download either!
Yesterday, we learned that Jonathan Biddle left Curve Studios. Biddle largely contributed to Fluidity, Explodemon, and Stealth Inc.
Biddle’s newest project “White Space” remains in development – though he’s currently deciding whether to continue with it “or make something else I’ve got in mind.” Whatever the future holds, it sounds like we can expect his games on Wii U.
Biddle told Nintendo Life:
As far as I’m concerned, I want my future titles to be on everything, and that certainly includes Wii U – I love the thing. However, I think I’m probably nearly two years out.
Check out a trailer for White Space below:
It was announced last month that a special 25th anniversary concert for Fire Emblem will be held in Japan this summer. In an update published on the official website, new details are shared about what will be happening.
Saori Seto, the voice of Anna and Severa, will host the event. We also know that the developers will be discussing Fire Emblem games old and new during a talk show. Additionally, there will be an original mini drama featuring voice actors from the games. That’s all on top of the actual concert, of course!
Fire Emblem concert tickets will cost 7,500 yen. A raffle will be held on April 20, and tickets will then be formally sold starting on June 7.
