We managed to secure some shelf space on the Wii U and 3DS eShops, so it remains to be seen how this will continue in the coming weeks.

EDGE on 3DS – the color in red – experienced the biggest boost. All other lines are for the Wii U titles.
EDGE, RUSH, and Toki Tori are all available for just $1.99 each on the eShop.

There’s no audience for a potential Toki Tori 3, Two Tribes says
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Last week, Two Tribes made some comments stating that there would never be another Toki Tori game. The studio explained that Toki Tori 2 simply didn’t generate the kind of sales that they had hoped for.
Two Tribes explained things further on Twitter today, stating that “there is no audience” for Toki Tori 3 and “that won’t change.”
Tweets form the company read:
Interesting that it's news for people that we won't be making a new Toki Tori game. Did you guys expect us to do Toki Tori 3?
— Two Tribes (@TwoTribesGames) March 24, 2014
@Quence because there is no audience for it, that won't change.

Toki Tori 2 is the last Toki Tori game
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
Two Tribes is done making Toki Tori games. The studio’s Collin von Ginkel told NintendoLatino that after Toki Tori 2+ didn’t meet sales expectations, “we’ve decided that we are not going to be making a new Toki Tori game, ever.”
We could still see the character in the future, albeit in a much smaller role. Something like a cameo appearance or Easter egg would be possible.
Well, since Toki Tori 2 + did not perform as well as we had hoped, we’ve decided that we are not going to be making a new Toki Tori game, ever. He’ll be back in some Easter egg probably, but we are moving on and taking on other genres.
