Toki Returns to Original Hardware With Three Officially Licensed Arcade Conversions for Mega Drive, Neo Geo and Amiga

New Old Pixels signs Microids license to bring arcade-faithful Toki conversions to Sega Mega Drive, SNK Neo Geo, and Commodore Amiga AGA with physical editions.

One of the arcade era's most entertaining examples of involuntary animal transformation is making an unexpected comeback on three classic gaming platforms. French developer and publisher New Old Pixels confirmed on October 12 that it is developing officially licensed conversions of Toki for the Sega Mega Drive, SNK Neo Geo and Commodore Amiga AGA. The announcement follows an October 1 licensing agreement with Microids, but the confirmation of the three specific target platforms represents a significant new development. Originally released by TAD Corporation in 1989, Toki follows a warrior transformed into an ape who must battle through dangerous environments while attempting to rescue his beloved. Fortunately, the transformation also gives him the remarkable ability to spit projectiles at almost anything that moves. Previous home conversions appeared on several platforms, including the Amiga and Mega Drive, but New Old Pixels believes these machines deserve versions more faithful to the original arcade experience. The development team intends to reproduce the gameplay, detailed animations, graphics and soundtrack while exploiting each system's particular strengths. All three versions are planned as complete physical editions compatible with original hardware, with packaging designed to appeal to collectors. The company has not yet announced release dates, prices or preorder availability. Screenshots and gameplay demonstrations are promised for future updates. The project is particularly interesting because the Neo Geo never received an official contemporary Toki conversion. With modern development tools and decades of accumulated hardware knowledge, these new editions could demonstrate what the original machines were capable of achieving. Apparently being transformed into a monkey was only the beginning of Toki's unusually long career.
