Two Tribes' avian adventures have spent plenty of time on Nintendo consoles, having appeared on 3DS, Wii U and Game Boy Colour, and now the original Toki Tori is following in its sequel's footsteps by making the jump to the Nintendo Switch eShop on 30th March (with a 10% pre-order/launch discount for good measure).
If you've never played one before (honestly, where have you been?) you take control of the titular Toki Tori, a surprisingly heroic chicken, as he puzzles his way through 80-plus levels spread over five unique worlds. Said avian isn't very athletic and can't even jump, but thankfully he has some great tools at his disposal, including the Telewarp, Freeze-o-Matic and InstantRock. Two Tribes is touting this as the, "the most detailed portable version of the game so far," and with a price tag under £5/$5, it's not a hard sell if you're new to the world of chicken-based antics.
Will you be adding this to your collection at the end of the week, or have you already played it enough on other Nintendo platforms? Let us know below...

I don't think the original is as good as the sequel, they're both puzzlers but they're very different games. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great game, it's just Toki Tori 2 is outstanding.
I've never felt a strong urge to try either of them, personally.
@Grawlog Nope, they're done with making games. It's like saying "Is SNK back?" judging by all these Neo Geo games popping up weekly
Yeah, I should have just saved my money and bought this instead of TT2. I've played it on Steam already, but I wouldn't mind giving it another go. It's by far the better of the two games.
anyone got a shovel
Have the original Toki Tori on the Gameboy Colour but recently got the 3DS version. The rewind feature is very helpful. Haven't completed it though because the puzzles get a bit frustrating for me at times and I get stuck, the extra levels are especially tricky.
I was expecting more bird games like Angry birds or Flappy birds to be ported to Switch. Where are they?
@Prizm Might want to try these before you dismiss them like that. Toki Tori 2+ is one of the best puzzlers ever made in my opinion. The first is nowhere near as good, but still an amazing game.
@Grawlog Yeah you didn't deserve so much sarcasm, did you?
Just fired up Toki Tori 2+ for the first time last night. Love the fact that it explains almost nothing, and leaves pretty much everything up to the player to work out - it's like a 1980s gaming ethos. Brilliant game. Thanks to @SLIGEACH_EIRE for the tipoff.
The first game is a lot more approachable and straight-forward than the sequel.
It's also great.
It's cool to start with for people unfamiliar with the series, but the puzzle do get rather difficult.
I downloaded the second one due to the pre-purchase sale price but have not booted it up as of yet. Might have to try this one first given the super cheap price tag.
Both Toki Tori games are fantastic, even though they're very different from each other.
The designers have put so much effort and thought into everything. I love it.
Should've just waited for this one. Toki Tori 2+ is a bore so far.
