Toki Tori was a well received, but fairly unknown, Gameboy Color game from 2001. Developer Two Tribes is taking advantage of Nintendo’s WiiWare service to revive this sleeper hit.

The title will feature new content along with a new look and a brand new control scheme, leveraging the features of the Wii Remote. Players will be able to take use of ten tools and weapons across sixty levels to find lost eggs in this puzzle-platformer.

Toki Tori is set to release May 12 in the US alongside the WiiWare service. Information on pricing has not been revealed.

Two Tribes Announces Toki Tori For WiiWare

HARDERWIJK, The Netherlands, April 10th 2008

Two Tribes, the Dutch game developer behind “Worms: Open Warfare 2“ for Nintendo DS, today announces the imminent release of Toki Tori for Nintendo Wii. The game is to be made available through the upcoming WiiWare downloadable game service.

Toki Tori for Nintendo Wii marks the entry of Two Tribes into the world of home-console games. Based on the critically acclaimed Game Boy Color game, this update improves the original on every front. Sporting a new look, updated content and a completely overhauled Wii Remote control scheme, the game offers players of all ages a classic gaming experience while making the most out of Nintendo's Wii console.

The gameplay in Toki Tori is a blend of two genres. While it looks like a platform game, it's a puzzle game by heart. Players will have to look and plan ahead carefully while using a variety of items, such as the Telewarp, Freeze-o-Matic and InstantRock™ to name but a few.

Toki Tori will be made available through Nintendo's WiiWare service, which is scheduled to launch on the 12th of May in the USA. Availability in Europe and Australia will depend on the roll-out of WiiWare in those territories.
