GN Version 4.0
Two Tribes is doing a Q&A on Twitter right now...live...with you guys! You can hit up Twitter and ask them questions at this account. I'll be adding to this post throughout the day with info on Toki Tori 2's Wii U version.

- final game size will be somewhere in the 300mb range
- Wii U can do '1080p without breaking a sweat'
- Wii U version might have some form of achievements
- devs say working on Wii U is, 'Much easier than Wii. Lots of options!'
- devs also said they found it easier than expected to work on Wii U
- they were attracted to the Wii U by the Nintendo audience
- no decision yet made for Miiverse interactivity
- Wii U has camera controls for Tokidex
- As far as the name goes, 'Just "Toki Tori 2" is most likely'
- May feature secret levels with a graphical style close to the GBC game
- game will 'hopefully' be ready for Wii U launch
- no plans for a 3DS version yet
- no unlockable characters
- finding all the in-game collectibles will get you 'something cool'
- reconfirmed as download title for Wii U
- considering leaderboards
- some levels are designed for vertical play, but all are 2D
- team's favorite new mechanic is 'Whistle & Stomp mechanic definitely. Simpler yet deeper!'
- no online multiplayer
- when asked if Nintendo is making things easier for indie devs on the Wii U, Two Tribes said, "We're happy with how things are going!"
- When asked if the Wii U GamePad's touch screen will be used for gameplay, Two Tribes said, "Possibly, but not as main control method."
- no DLC planned
- dev team has been working with Wii U for 'a few months'
- decision to bring the game to Wii U was made because of 'Nintendo fans, better shop experience and new controller!'
- no plans to support Wiimote, Wii U Pro Controller
- on difficulty when compared to the first game: More people should be able to complete it. Hard puzzles optional.
- devs were inspired by 'Nature! How everything works together!'
- roughly 30% of the game's puzzles are hard ones
- would like to do more titles on Wii U
- On 60 FPS: I would be very disappointed if it wasn't, but no guarantee until it's done.
- 'time will tell' as far as fixes/updates/patches go
- only uses one analog stick
- most likely won't include the original Toki Tori with the sequel's release
- might have other Wii U-exclusive features
- probably won't have 5.1 surround sound
- no slowdown when playing on just GamePad
- don't count on shared save stages between Wii U and Steam versions
