Does a chicken in need make a good game indeed? In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we answer that very question with our full impressions of Toki Tori 2, Two Tribe’s anticipated Wii U puzzle-platformer. But first, we break down the recent onslaught of game announcements, from the Nintendo Direct reveals of Zelda and Yoshi on 3DS to new indie titles shown at the iDEAME conference in Madrid. Factor in the likes of Batman and Splinter Cell, and there’s a lot on the way to Nintendo platforms. We then discuss newly released sales numbers, examining the success of the eShop and the continuing struggle of the Wii U. It’s a big episode, but we can assure you of one thing: contrary to the title, there’s no ‘bird is the word’ song to be heard.
