Toree 3D And Super Kiwi 64 Developer Teases "Next Game"

A reveal is scheduled for next month

by Liam Doolan Sun 13th Aug 2023

Back in July, Toree 3D developer Siactro made announced plans for a new project, with a reveal scheduled to take place soon.

Now, in an update on social media, it's been announced an "early demo" of this next game will be making an appearance at SAGE Expo on 1st September. Based on the silhouette featured in the video below, it appears Toree is making a return:

If you haven't already played the Toree games on the Nintendo Switch yet, they're both available for a small sum. You can learn more about these bite-sized 3D platformers in our Nintendo Life reviews:

The Toree games are shockingly high quality for the dirt cheap price.

This is a must buy for me.

Toree 3D was an amazing game, Toree 2 also very good, but Super Kiwi and Beeny, not so much. So they've had some amazing hits, but not a perfect record. I'm certainly very interested in what they're working on, but my expectations are tempered. Although their games are so cheap I'll probably buy it just on the chance that it is good. If it's actually a Toree game, insta buy.

@FishyS I agree 100%. I love both Toree games and still play them from time to time. I was super excited for Super Kiwi 64 and Beeny since I love Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country, and I was pretty disappointed in both (although I did really like the dungeon level in Kiwi 64).

What I really want is a more ambitious Toree game. Keep the basic graphics and gameplay, just expand with more levels and maybe some themed worlds or something. I respect that Siactro is doing something unique with the bite sized games he makes, but I'd love it if he tried doing something just a little bigger

Didn't they also make Lunistice? Never played any of the Toree games but I thought Lunistice was really good, I hope it's a sequel to that.

@JBone Beeny was far too bite-sized. I've never 100%-ed a platformer in like 20 minutes before. I feel like there was a good game idea in there if it had been expanded on. Since Toree is already a good game, I agree a bigger game in the series would be great.

@Rainbowfire I think it's a different developer, they just did a crossover of the character. The Toree games are shorter than lunistice but well designed . They are also like $2 each. If you like retro style 3D games, I would definitely suggest Toree 3D, the first game.

I hope we get to enjoy Toree Genesis on Switch too, I think it's currently PC exclusive.

I love the Toree games. I played Toree 2 just last week.

They control really well. Natural and intuitive feeling controls. Toree 3 will be a day one purchase for me. I can't wait.

@RupeeClock oooo, it could well be.

This new title was just revealed in the Sage ‘23 trailer to be called “Toree Saturn” - so maybe it will incorporate the 3 levels from Toree Genesis (since that was only a (very) short & free PC release).

I fairly enjoyed the two Toree games, so I can't wait for this one.

I do hope this next project has better ambition and scale, though. This whole "dirt cheap, high quality platformer" thing ran dry for me (and that also goes for Lunistice) and the recent Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara has left me satisfied enough for me to consider it the true "follow up" I wanted in that regard.
