Well, this is exciting and unusual news—a developer who’s delaying the launch of their game… so that they can make a better game.
And as disappointing as that is for fans who were eagerly waiting for the December 20th release on the Wii U eShop, the simple fact that waiting will mean a better game should make up for the disappointment:
“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.”
So we’ve already received the promise of a massive level editor and an enormous game world, which says to us that this sequel is certainly worth keeping an eye on—despite the delay in getting it on our systems. We’ll let you know when a new solid release date comes to light!
