News: An arcade classic is heading to Nintendo’s popular platform where you can play it anywhere at any time.

Toki is making his comeback on the Nintendo Switch later this year. The remake of this arcade classic has been completely redrawn and re-orchestrated by Philippe Dessoly and Pierre Adane, the architects behind the original Amiga conversion of the game back in the 1990’s.

There will be a physical “Retrollector Edition” that will be available at release and it will contain the following:

The boxed version of the Toki game

A mini arcade machine stand for your Nintendo Switch

An exclusive 16-page Toki comic book, with an original story illustrated by Philippe Dessoly

Two prints

One sticker sheet

For those who might not be familiar with Toki, the premise is below:

”Toki the warrior lived peacefully in the jungle with his sweetheart Miho. Appearing out of nowhere, the terrifying voodoo sorcerer Vookimedlo and heinous demon Bashtar kidnap Miho and turn the poor Toki into a chimpanzee! Unfortunately for his sweetheart, he has become a hairy, lethargic ape…

The former warrior must get used to his new form and, deprived of his traditional weapons, use his powerful jaw to spit strange projectiles at his enemies. During his adventure, Toki will find objects that will help him complete his quest, from a football helmet to a pair of flippers and snorkel.”

Toki will arrive on the Nintendo Switch on December 4. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be picking it up?
