Toki Tori is his name, and collecting eggs is his game. In this puzzle/platform game, players use a variety of items such as the Telewarp, InstantRock and Slug Sucker.
Clever use and combination of these items are needed to solve all the game’s levels, of which there are more than 70. Levels range from easy to brain-teasingly hard, resulting in dozens of hours of puzzle play time.
Toki Tori makes the most of what Wii has to offer. It uses the Wii Remote for a unique control scheme, which offers players a new and more relaxing play style. A second player can help you out by drawing hints while you are playing. The game even uses the Wii Message Board in a unique way.

I'm excited not only for all these new underground titles coming through Wiiware, but also remakes (or even better, sequels) of great games that sadly didn't sell to well for various reasons (Beyond Good & Evil anybody?)! I remember really regretting never picking up this title since I felt it was too kiddy (same happened with Shantae), but I've grown out of this now.
Hmmm, though I'm puzzled as if this is a remake in 3-D or a sequel, reviewing partner says that the levels shown in the video are both the exact same levels from the first game...? I'm tempted to get do an interview for myself (I write a local teen paper as the video game dude)!
On a side note, extremely funny video though I laughed when the camera hit the vaccum!

I laughed throughout the video, especially when the camera hit the vacuum. It does look cute, so I'd probably buy it if it wasn't too expensive. But will it fit on my Wii w/all those other virtual console games I have? AHHH the suspense!

So is this a remake or a sequel? Some of the levels look just like the old one.

This game looks promising... I'll definitely be downloading this when it's released. I hadn't even heard of the original game before, so it's a bonus for me if it's a remake.

Cool Game, Buying even if it is 1000 Wii Points, gonna try to get the oringinal sometime, or if it is out on the VC.
8. TheLuigiDude
14 Apr 2008, 22:15 BST
I'm hoping it's not solely a enhanced port with better graphics since a game store close to me has the original for about $9. If so, I think I'll just get the GBC version.

Looks like a good puzzler... I hope it brings a stage editor, maybe is too much to ask for... but really a stage editor would be nice.

WhaaaaHHHH! That Trailer is a Smash!!!
Absolutely a great way to market that game.
Love it!

If its a decent cost, I think I will download this as soon as it gets put up.

Looks good as long it's 1000 points or below. A Puzzle and plaforming game is definetly something different.
13. Hyper Luigi

I heard that it's a remake. but since I have never played the original,I might try it out.

What a nice trailer! I wonder how much they'll price it for.
16. Objection_Blaster
13 May 2008, 21:20 BST
Hmm...800 pts sounds good. 1000 being the maximum. I hope it uses sieways wiimote, as that way it could be a nice chill game.
17. KnucklesSonic8
13 May 2008, 21:25 BST
Yeah, I'd imagine it would be NES-Style for the control scheme. Unless maybe you'd flap your wings by shaking the Remote. But that could be mapped to a button press also, which I can easily see happening.
18. ballkirby1

Hopefully may 19th U.S will get this.

This game is awesome. I've played this on the GBC and the puzzles are very clever. It's also very addicting and pretty long. If you like good puzzle games this will be absolutely worth your WiiPoints.

I'm expecting this to be similar to Donkey Kong '94 on the Game Boy.
25. Thores
20 May 2008, 15:25 BST
This looks great and is reasonably priced, but the 290 freakin blocks of space is kind of a turn off. Especially considering that's more space than FFCC:MLaaK takes up.
26. Serpent
22 May 2008, 11:48 BST
Two Tribes needs to release a new Eggbert game on wiiware. It would be fun creating levels on the wii and battling online.

This game looks pretty interesting too and i wanna try it out since i watched the video and looks cool.

25 May 2008, 09:46 BST
I went to play the old GBC game on my laptop to see what differences there are. I like how there is no jump button on the WiiWare version - Toki Tori now automatically walks up the small blocks you used to have to jump on on the GBC version.
29. KnucklesSonic8
26 May 2008, 15:27 BST
Although I'm a huge puzzle fan, I still don't know if it's worth it.
30. Mr.Game and Watch

@Knuckles
Its worth it for 900 points.The levels are really challenging unless
you have it for the GBC it's basically a remake.
31. Twilight
30 May 2008, 21:46 BST
it is a remake. i don't have the original so... also, it has enhanced graphics and it has a lot of added levels to it that weren't on the original. i hate puzzle games, but i am getting this one. and, i have heard that it has a lot of hours on gameplay. if you get stuck, message Two Tribes and they can help you... or so i have heard.
32. The shoemaker

I'm thinking about getting this one, but I'm waiting for some developer to make a 3d adventure game...
33. Objection_Blaster
02 Jun 2008, 22:25 BST
I plan to get this soon...but there are too many games I want! And too many VC I want (except they arent actually on VC yet, lol)
34. AlexSays
04 Jun 2008, 21:09 BST
my brother gifted it to me the other day,
and its definitely worth 1000 points.
great game.
35. Big=Sexy
05 Jun 2008, 05:11 BST
Just got it and started playing it today. This game is quite awesome, way better than I expected. The hard stages are indeed hard, and I've yet to come across one that had more than one solution.
36. strade32
05 Jun 2008, 19:15 BST
this game is awesome. i got it right when it came out.

38. mr.niceguy
22 Jun 2008, 08:24 BST
Darn it, this looks so fun, but I don't know which one to get, Toki Tori or F-Zero X...arghhh!!!! It's so perplexing!!! What do you people think, this or my all time favorite racer?
39. Mr.Game and Watch
22 Jun 2008, 20:01 BST
@mr.niceguy
Toki Tori is your best bet.
40. KnucklesSonic8
24 Jun 2008, 16:25 BST
This game is AWESOME. Enough said.
I'm on Bubble Barrage, 5 atm (which is the same stage they show off in the Trailer on this page! It reveals to me how to get an egg that has alluded me on my first run-through from this morning!). I've completed quite a few Hard stages as well. But the game is so much fun, and very challenging. Hard to put down and I ALWAYS come back to it. The OST is good, too!
41. strade32
24 Jun 2008, 19:37 BST
i am on level 4-5 too. although i haven't played recently, but i might pick it up and beat it later.
42. KnucklesSonic8
25 Jun 2008, 14:59 BST
I know how to beat it but I need to work harder on SSR first (Tuorney ends tonight!), then tomorrow, I'll beat 4-5. I already figured it out in my head. And then I'll a new postcard and then be on 4-6.
43. Dalek Gerbil
05 Jul 2008, 21:20 BST
Does this use the Classic controller. I heard it does?
44. Dazza
06 Jul 2008, 08:25 BST
Yes you can use the classic controller to move toki tori manually, its not as fluent as clicking where you want him to go with the wiimote thou. At first I was skeptical about that control scheme but it works really well in this game.
45. Dalek Gerbil
06 Jul 2008, 15:32 BST
Should I use the remote then?
46. Airola
10 Jul 2008, 09:53 BST
@Dalek
I'd say use the remote and the nunchuck. With the nunchuck you move Toki Tori and with the remote you control what items to use. It's better that way as the cord between the two is long enough to make the controlling relaxed. I tend to play sitting on the armchair and letting my right arm (which uses the Remote) rest on the armrest while my left arm (which uses the Nunchuck) is on the left armrest by it's elbow with the fist pressed against my cheek. That way it's very relaxing to move Toki Tori around while trying to figure out how to solve the puzzles.
The remote+nunchuck combination is better than the Classic Controller as it doesn't force you to keep your hands near each other for the whole game and it's better than using only the Remote because it's easier to keep Toki Tori moving around while wondering what to do next (I like to move him around for the most of the time even if I didn't know what to do next and to me it's easier to do quick moving decisions with the nunchuck than by aiming the remote).

It's a disgrace that this game is the least downloaded in the UK. It's the best thing on Wiiware atm.
48. Mr.Game and Watch
13 Jul 2008, 16:35 BST
@Outrunner
No it's the 2nd least downloaded in UK the worse is Actionloop Twist.

Wasn't it #1 at one point? It couldn't have stayed at the top for very long. Sad to hear about Actionloop though.

Just downloaded this tonight. It's really good fun to play.

53. WiiMan192
05 Oct 2008, 06:58 BST
Poor Toki Tori... an under-appreciated gem. It's continually (though abruptly) rising to #20 on the AUS Wii Shop, but gets replaced by Actionloop frequently. Obviously we are very mistaken, misinformed and judgmental people
54. earthworm
15 Oct 2008, 03:22 BST
I've had to remove several games from my base memory to make room for new things, but this is one that I always keep around. It's a nice long-term game--I turn it on every so often and complete a level or two (or try and fail to complete one of the harder ones).
55. jeffo
16 Oct 2008, 22:35 BST
For all of the talk and (deserved) hype going on for World Of Goo right now, it makes me remember this game...which I'm still very much stuck on at the moment and will have to revisit it soon. Ugghh another refigerator cleaning is due. Anyways, Toki Tori is simply genius. Hopefully we get more of these level design-focused puzzlers, like Toki and World of Goo..

My first ever WiiWare purchase and for that reason (as well as the fact that I haven't beaten it yet!) it will remain on my Wii until the end of time!
A stonking-good game, worth every single point.
57. RGVEDA
18 Dec 2008, 20:49 GMT
I finished the Game today! Wow, reaallly good but sometimes really hard. And that with the normal levels. I know, i am not so good in Puzzles and thinking smile
So i hope, i will not give up with World of Goo, what i will definetely download
58. megaman-sam

My first WiiWare game, It's rock hard though!
59. Jazzem

Fantastic game overall, it's still easily one of the best WiiWare games. The ending is a bit dark though!

I was very surprised by this. Best WiiWare title I've downloaded so far. Very addictive! I love it how it makes you believe that levels are actually impossible, and then when you finally figure out how to do it it's such a relief!

Here's my commercial for Toki Tori
Do you like being frustrated? Do you enjoy games with lots of replay ability? Have you burned money just to see a bum snicker at you? Well then you'll love this new Toki Tori cause you'll play these levels over and over in frustration wondering what happened to all that cash while a bum snickers at you from across the way on a park bench. Enjoy starting levels over and over? Well hell, we have a reset button built right in and you'll use it till you run out of digits cause this game does not make any sense.
haha. I hate this game.
64. Divo86
17 Aug 2009, 14:10 BST
It does look goofy, but I was shocked by how good this is. I still haven't completed it. It gets pretty hard, but you gotta love a challenge. Great game!

29 Aug 2009, 17:34 BST
Wow the final world is kicking my ass, extremly difficult... first game in a long time I've had this much trouble beating... it hurts my BRAIN!
