Toki Tori for WiiWare: release date, screenshots

Cuteness alert! (There’s something about a waddling egg-shaped chick that’s cute, so sue me.) If you haven’t heard, the cute little chicken Toki Tori is coming to WiiWare. Two Tribes studio has announced that the game will go live on the channel on May 12. They also released a bunch of new screenshots which you can check out in the full article.

Remember that game from Game Boy Color (if you ever had a Game Boy Color that is), Toki Tori? Here’s a quick sum up if you haven’t: it’s a puzzle game with a dash of platform gaming, and it stars a cute little chicken named Toki Tori.

You don’t need to be a fan of the old game to love the new one, which will be going live on WiiWare this May 12. As Toki Tori, it’s your job to rescue his siblings, who are still trapped in their eggs (Toki Tori looks like an egg himself, but that’s beside the point.)

In the game, you’ll be using a variety of items to help you rescue Toki Tori’s siblings. The Telewarp (something like the gun you use in Portal), the Freeze-o-Matic, and InstantRock are just some of the items you’ll be using in the game.
