@Hejiru

You've been paying attention! We like that

In my (Collin's) mind the porcupine is still a wussy who's easily scared. I think Niels 't Hooft wrote these little stories and he's not on the day-to-day design team. So I think he simply interpreted what ended up being in the game.

We did tone down some of his behavior (such as being afraid of Toki Tori since he was frozen by him in part 1 so many times) to make it easier to understand for the player.

Anyway, he has spikes and mows the lawn when scared

Sorry guys! We'll be hanging out here, should there be any questions.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope that's it

@Sandman

Thanks for the feedback. What specifically gives you the feeling the bird and Toki Tori aren't using the same art style?

As for the music, it will be made by Sonic Picnic again yes, but we're taking a very different approach this time around. See http://twotribes.com/message/toki-tori-2-update-23/ for the details!

@RyanO Depends on which part you eat. His feet taste more like Duck for some reason.

As usual, we'll be here to answer any questions you may have about Toki Tori 2!

Let it rip

To be clear: I don't think there's anything wrong with family friendly gaming. You can take one look at Toki Tori 2 for proof

Also, kind of interesting how a tweet mistake can become a story like this. It's not like my opinion is so important or shocking, but it still seems to be picked up.

What's this about Brutus the Chicken? Should Toki Tori be afraid?

@rjejr It's not in the video and it won't be a separate purchase!

If anyone else has any questions, go ahead! We'll be here all day!

@Brick we don't know ourselves

Sorry GeminiSaint, missed your questions!

The game has something of a storyline with animated cutscenes that went missing when we made the WiiWare version. It also has different music and some other small changes.

@TheDreamingHawk

For Game Boy Color we only made Toki Tori. The device was only actively supporter for a year or two before GBA came out, and that's about the time we took to finish it

Hi! @3dsiscool

It's coming along nicely, expect more details soon! As for working with Nintendo, you'll have to ask them. We're simply a developer making Nintendo games

Any other questions people?

@TheDreamingHawk

That'll probably be a while longer, we had to arrange some things with the ESRB and I believe there are some translations left to be done. Should not be too long hopefully.

NEXT!!!

@ Luigi_is_better

The WiiWare version content was updated and remixed a little, but the core is basically identical.

It also has a totally unnecessary time limit and a jump button that only hops up single tiles. But that's because we didn't know what we were doing at the time

Any others?

Hi Everyone,

Collin from Two Tribes here. Let me know if you have any questions regarding Toki Tori for 3DS!

Looking foward to hearing what you think of the release next week!

Collin

Hope you like my Toki Tori one

We'll be posting a blog about the improvements we've made sometime next week. Keep an eye out on www.twotribes.com and of course Nintendo Life for the interview.

Concerning the price, it's probably going to be 200 points. It fits the product nicely, so I think we'll end up with that.

Nothing to report on this front Mange. We'll let you know when we know

@HadesGigas

At least half of the levels are new, and a bunch have been significantly altered to take advantage of the new tech and gameplay options made available by the addition of warp points and such.

@y2josh

The trailer is right, there are over 70 levels!

@objection blaster

If you like more content, better presentation, better controls, a multiplayer rubiks and online leaderboards, I'd go for RUSH

@bbpoy

The problem with rubiks world was that we tried to create too many games at once. RUSH is the fully developed, tweaked, expanded and polished bigger brother of one of that games.

We think RUSH is a great stand alone game, and this review seems to agree! So why not use this info to make your decision, instead?

Cool, an eight out of ten.

Anyone with questions?

Glad you are enjoying it!

Let us know if you have any last minute questions guys! We'll be lurking on this page.

@opeter
I am very much sure of that. The PC emulator requires multiple times the processor and graphical power on the Wii to be able to run some of the games decently at a higher resolution. If Nintendo took that approach they would have design highly powerful and expensive technology to emulate it.

Remember, the Wii is already a GameCube that has been stretched to it's limits. So pushing it any further would mean totally new hardware, and you'll get that in time, just not as a upgrade to the current Wii.

Seriously guys, there will be no upgrade of the current Wii to HD. There would be too many compatibility issues with the existing titles from a technical point of view.

@sean

Thanks for being open to this. It's quite different from the other game. Feel free to compare once we release RUSH, it is a product of much higher quality.

@stokley
The game had received a total transformation, compared to the retail game. We have a ton more levels, new control scheme, different atyle and multiplayer rubiks modes with Wi-Fi leaderboards!

So do not mistake this for a quick port!

@WolfRamHeart
The controls for RUSH are easy. You use the Wii Remote to select signs and you can then place, drag or remove them as you please. You can grab the camera by pressing A and B together, or you can use the nunchuk to rotated the camera.

For the Rubik's part there are two modes to control the game, one by dragging sides with the Wii Remote and the other by using the dpad while pointing at a part of the cube.

I'm happy to see We've overcome Some of the initial skepticism!

As always feel free to ask away if you have any questions!

@Omega
Looks can be deceiving. You only have to play Toki Tori to experience proof of that, hehe.

Thanks for your input!

@omega
http://www.rubikspuzzlegalaxy.com/ contains first gameplay footage. It should give you an idea of what to expect.

@habareet
Thanks for the input! We'll definitely be cheaper than Toki Tori is at the moment.

Anyone else care to provide their input?

@Omega
We are definitely going for unique and qualitative games here. There are a lot of different concepts you can think of within the context of our Rubik's Galaxy.

@bro2dragons
You raise a fair point, something we'd like to have feedback on from you guys. What would you pay for Rush knowing it has the following:

• Over 70 levels, as pictured in the latest screens
• Several Different Rubik's Cube modes, all multiplayer as well
• Including a tutorial on how to solve one.
• Online leaderboards

@ LEGEND MARIOID
The ratings were roughly similar, but I think on DS people are a bit easier to please

@ brandonbwii
You raise a few good (and tough ) questions here, I'll try to answer them for you.

First off, we were only the developers of Rubik's World, so we are not privy to how many copies were sold, nor were we in charge of the pricing. So if it is a flop or not I will leave up to the publisher.

For us it is about creating good games, and we felt that there was a lot of potential left in the ideas behind the game. So we went ahead picked Rush as the first one.

Then on to your last question: I stand by the quality of Rush, and puzzle game fans should most definitely be pleased with what we've created for them.

@ all
Glad you seem to like what we've created! Hopefully some of the skepticism we noticed after releasing the teaser has been taken away

@ Corbie
We'll probably be able to announce something in the near future. It's different from what we've done before, but should still feel familiar when you play it

@ JayArr
You will definitely be challenged when playing Rush.
