Topic: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - OT

@kkslider5552000

Funny you say that. I've randomly started going back to 3D World to 100% it, and boy, it's really an amazing game. It kind of makes me sad that so many people will never know how much fun that game is. Ah well, I guess that goes for a lot of things lol

New commercial.

I got a chance to play the demo at Target on Friday when I picked up Smash. It was a lot of fun. We got to try the two basic levels and the dragon boss fight. We completed all three levels but failed to collect every item or finish additional challenges. We're getting it but not on release day. Most likely we'll get it as a Christmas gift.

My fear with this game is that it will be short lived. However, Nintendo has it priced right to account for this.

I'm looking forward to this game more than I did for Bayonetta 2 and Smash

Hey everyone! Captain Toad Here. Excited of Treasure Tracker coming out in less than a week? Heh, of course you are. And I'm sure the guys from Nintendo Minute are too. Because they've just posted a video about the new levels in the game and a bit of a surprise somewhere around here..[youtube:RBkinsU_wfY]

Might as well not look at marketing videos but ones done by 3rd parties who have the game with no restrictions.

And today it should be embargo lift time for Captain Toad, probably at 9AM PST as usual. Personal guess is that it'll get about the same review treatment as Tropical Freeze. Hope to be able to read spoiler-free reviews, since I try to stay away from spoilers now until January 02.

Tropical Freeze got a few average scores due to being too hard where as Captain Toad seems like it could go the other way of being too easy so it may even out or just give CT an advantage over TF.

The reviews are up now at NintendoLife, IGN, Polygon, etc.

That should be solved by DLC.

We should perhaps wait and see if the DLC is paid or free. There seems to be so much hinted towards an expansion, that it might be a free update. A free update (=added product value, meaning more people buying the full game without price cut) would probably make more money than a paid DLC in this case.

Captain Toad wasn't produced in the same budget group as the Galaxies and SM3DW. FWIW, NES Remix was also produced by the Tokyo EADs, with an even smaller budget.

Both, but mostly the production side. This is a spin-off. Miyamoto has indicated that there will be more such titles appearing in the future.

Or you can join the people shouting at bad games produced with loads of money and development time. Or just choose the games you think you'll like and enjoy them.

The game currently sits at 80 at metacritic. That's a very good score. For a "simple" short game like this even more so.

How is the game? Is it short but fun? Is it worth $40?

The game isn't out yet. You have to read a couple of reviews instead.

On Gamexplain you can find loads of gameplay bits and stuff. The game has been out in Japan for a while

I wonder what amiibo will do in this game.

This game is available for pre download?

It is not, I checked yesterday.

Keep in mind that it is just 2GB in size, so it will be a fast download.
