Developer Two Tribes has today confirmed that it's delayed the release of Toki Tori 2 on the Wii U eShop, so it won't be arriving on 20th December. The reasoning is simple; the developer wants to make a better game.
Toki Tori 2’s a personal project for us. It’s first game we’ve made without being tied to a license or publisher, it’s something we’re putting a lot of love in, and it’s something that’s just not good enough to be released yet.
It’s also the most complete game experience we’ve developed so far; the whistle and stomp concept is rather unique, the game world is filled with all kinds of creatures, we’ve added an interactive storyline and we’ll allow you to explore the game’s world as you see fit. All these things are in the game right now, but there are so many things that could, no… should be a better that we feel we would do you a disservice to you if we release it in its current form.
So what now? We are busy making a plan to fix the the game’s current weak spots, in all categories ranging from gameplay to graphics to technology. We are not ready to commit to an exact release date at this point, but it will definitely be early in the new year.
With the promise of a sizeable game world and a substantial level editor, there's plenty of potential in this sequel. We'll just have to wait a little longer before we get to experience it properly, and we'll keep an eye out for any information on a solid release date.
Are you disappointed, or are you looking forward to an improved game with extra development time? Let us know in the comments below.

I wish all developers cared about the quality of their games like they do.
Ah, fudge-cicles.
I'd rather the game be the best that it can be though, so no biggie.
I'm disappointed (just bought added funds to the eshop in preperation for it), but it's understandable. Always better to delay it and release a superior product than rush it.
I'm glad they have the guts to delay their project, I'm disappointed though. This was one of my most anticipated downloads..
Disappointed a bit but we've got plenty of software ro get through before then. Just get everything in order Two Tribes. Looking fwd to it
No problem. I already have enough to spend my e-shop money on
Thats a shame but its nice to know they want to make a cracking game (no pun intended) lol
I've heard this is going to be hardcore, so won't be able to download it till midnight!!
Gahhhh. Who wants superior games, Just release it already, I don't care if it sucks!
I am disappointed about the delay and I hope that early 2013 not means Q2 like Pikmin what is also delayed.
If it's good enough for Pikmin 3, it's good enough for Toki Tori 2.
Personally if I were them I'ld wait until after the holidays anyway when all the Christmas presents are unwrapped and everybody's done playing Mario and Nintendo Land and are looking for something "new" to buy.
Make great games and I buy them, make quick games or on time games and I read about them. These guys know what they are doing, this just confirms it as a must buy for me.
Keep this game on your radar, there'll be a lot to like once it hits.
Im actually happy because I have still yet to get started on a single eShop game! This can help buy me some time!
I'm sure this site can capture you're feelings perfectly!
@ArcanaXVI Well, add reasonably delayed and that would be correct.
Why am I getting deja vu?! I feel like I've made this comment before................
People got fed up with other company delays, yet they actually
like this one.
If I didn't have so much respect for their games, I actually would be frustrated.
NOOOO! I so wanted it next week:( There better at least be a new Wii U ware game this month besides puddle... (AKA Fluidity rip off)
@ArcanaXVI : Except for Duke Nukem Forever.
NNOOOOO my heart
@Revolution5268 That was going to be my Christmas purchase:(
Take your time please
Maybe a demo (or a beta release) could be given to tell you what must be enhanced ??
Is the delay just for Wii U or on all platforms?
@ArcanaXVI
AHEMMdukenukemforeverAHEMM
Well this makes me even more excited about this. It's shaping up to be great!
ah ... gutted was really looking forwerd to this one on the 20th, but atleast the developers are putting effort into making the game 110% and it not being broken. atleast i have the first one to keep me occupied
@sillygostly Not to mention Perfect Dark Zero, Too Human, Star Trek Online, Postal II, Postal III, hell even minor circumstances like Spore.
Really looking foward to this game. I don't mind a push back when the developer cares about it so much. Same reasoning I have for Bioshock Infinite.
No biggy (for me at least) since I don't have a Wii u yet.
Obviously I want them to wait until the game's completely done, but it's definitely annoying that you can put absolutely no faith in launch/launch window dates.
Sorry guys! We'll be hanging out here, should there be any questions.
im trying download this game ?
