You Won't Need To Track Too Much Treasure To Buy Captain Toad

I thought $39.99 would be low-tier Wii U game price? DKC Tropical Freeze is $49.99 and then games like Smash and Mario Kart are $59.99.

makes it even more worth buying. the game looks sooo cool. my avatar approves

Kmart still exists?

Does anybody know if this game will have support for the pro controller?

Good, even though I'm meh about that game, the price is reasonable.

I kinda wish they would go with the New Super Luigi U route, meaning a DLC version for those with Super Mario 3D World and a standalone version for those who just want to play Captain Toad.

@CaviarMeths Yes. It's 1986.

I'm going to buy this on the eShop instead of getting it physically. I'm glad it's only 40 bucks.

Preordered mine at Funcoland.

Might have gotten a better deal at Babbage's.

Pricing is no concern to me on 1st party Nintendo games.

The question now is whether I pick up a cheap copy of this before a Wii U.

Day one.

Sweet. My wallet can take a slight less beating come this silly season.
That said, I'd love a full 3D Toad or Kirby platformer. How i miss them!

Surprising that video games nowadays have actually much cheaper as compared to those in the 80s or the 90s. SNES games caused like US$70 every game back then. A Genesis game, in contrast, was $30-40.

@stu13

The good ol days lol

@Stu13 I see what you did there.

@WiiULoveSquid I second that In roughly 20 years of nintendo gaming, there is really just one game that i regret paying full price for, and that is Yoshis New Island

I'm really looking forward to this game, although I did have the same thought's that this would be best suited to an eShop release. I know it's going to be great so I'm excited.

I'd imagine that this game was a quick turn, so I'm going to guess it falls into the short but sweet catagory. I'm perfectly fine with that. Plus, I believe this game is going to experiment with DLC just like Pikmin 3 did.

I hate Platformers that can be easily beaten within a few days and never played again. Althogh this isnt too much a platformer. 3d World did it right with tons of bonus stages/worlds.. Anyways I hope this game is full with content.

This will be my platinum reward next year. Mark my words people don't get it if you want this as a free dl. I'm going to wait and see what the future holds for this one.

@Einherjar It might be the most unoriginal game ever but it isn't a bad game. I've played through all the levels and didn't think it was a complete waste despite it being so similar to the original, you might as well play that.

@Stu13 You forgot about Software Etc.

@sub12 I doubt it, because there are parts where you need to use the gamepad.

@ShigKirby I just got incredibly bored with it. It snot that its unoriginal or doesnt reinvent the wheel, for me, its just way too boring to keep me playing.
I had the same with Super Paper Mario for instance. Nice game overall, but it is so darn boring.

I hope it gets some sort of co-op levels, in which you have to work together, and use different camera angles on both screens or something.

Smart move. Still not buying it, tough.

A budget price is what I was hoping for, though I didnt really expect it. I'm very interested in this game, but then I had not bought it at full price. But then again, until today I got each first-party Wii U title for a maximum of 45 euro (e.g. MK8), in most cases 40 euro (e.g. Pikmin 3), on day one. But I don't expect to get this for 30. 35 rather, so I may wait.

Excellent! This game is a great idea! I loved the mini games that this was born from.

Btw, price of game doesn't equate with how "good" it is or how much you'll enjoy it.

$40 seems about right, to me that price says real game w/ a budget price. And if you look at a lot of $60 games these days w/ online multiplayer, and this is an off-line single player puzzle game - $40 seems right. I've seen several collectibles in the videos but as its predominsntly a puzzle game, once you solve the puzzle theres really little reason to replay a level. Its not a platformer which basis its fun on timing and jumping and speed runs, well I guess you could speed run a puzzle but I havent seen that advertised yet. If the levels do have speed runs times like Sonic Lost World that coild helo longevity. Personally Im a fan of bronze, silver, gold but very few games use that.

Also, this game is due out around the same time as SSB U which will probably be $60 and is built on replayability, so dven compared to their own game this might look bad at $60, Plus Nintendo needs to mske sure we all have enough money to buy amiibo. I guess $40 means no free bundled Capt Toad amiibo though

amazon's pre-order is $59.99

@A1234 Yep, that's just a place holder. You can tell by the release date.

Still a little steep

Doesn't really make me interested. I'm not a fan of Toad nor did I enjoy the Captain Toad levels from 3D World. The moment I heard this was a retail game I was immediately turned off.

@Spoony_Tech I agree, I'm going to wait on any $15 - $40 downloads Nintendo puts out this year, then see if I can grab one free.

@sub12 & @Zapkido
If I recall correctly, the Captain Toad levels in Super Mario 3D World were some of the few that required Gamepad usage. With that in mind, it's very likely that Pro controller usage won't be an option unless there's some kind of Co-op mode.

Thanks for the heads up! I preordered it at $60 originally, time to get that adjusted.

I hope it is priced between 30€ and 40€. Anyway, I'm sure I'll get it.

Makes me even happier I pre-ordered it. Was sort of hoping it wouldn't be a full $65 game.

This works for me, as I'd be a little uncomfortable paying over $40 for it. Still, I'll wait for reviews before jumping.

@CaviarMeths
I was thinking the EXACT same thing

This game will make a nice rental from Gamefly... nothing more to me.

39.99$ plus a 12.99$ amiibo equals sales for nintendo they will sell alot!

Day one!! Can't believe I'm more excited to play this than Smash for Wii U! Is just that I truly loved those Captain Toad levels on SM3DW that when Nintendo announced at E3 that Captain Toad will have it's own retail game based on that concept I literally screamed of excitement the whole day! I just hope it comes packaged with tons of levels and content even if it's not at full retail price but you know we can trust Nintendo in terms of content/quality when it comes to their 1st party games

Only Nintendo can sell this for $39.99 and get people to buy it, any other company trying to sell this for more than $19.99 would get laughed at

I am willing to pay full price for this, as I loved the Captain Toad levels, and any EAD Tokyo game. Knowing their track record, it will be crammed with content.

But of course less than that makes the deal even sweeter.

I think most had figured this game wouldn't be premium price.

@DualWielding
No other company would be able to make this game anywhere near as charming looking as Nintendo can, and no other company could guarantee quality of experience like Nintendo can.
They can charge $39.99 because they're Nintendo, true, but they didn't get to be Nintendo through random luck.

£29.99, £39.99 or £49.99 — either way, I'm getting it..!!

...though £29.99 makes it all the sweeter

$40 American billz?

MINE.

Yeah...I was very interested before, but for $40 it's a must buy.

@DualWielding - Seriously?

Why is little big planet full retail?

Why are all the throw-together licensed games for animated movies at full retail? How to train your dragon 2 is really worth $50 or more?

Please be a better troll, lol.

Wait a minute.
Wait.
A.
Minute.
This is a full retail game?
Seriously?
I was expecting it to be eShop, so $40 is a ton compared to what I previously thought. So, yeah, doubt this'll warrant me buying it.

Never was gona get this game, but that's good i guess.

@Action51 I don't think @DualWielding is trolling, That's kinda true. Nintendo can make any kind of spin-off game and Nintendo fans will buy no matter how ridiculous the price is. BTW LittleBig Planet actually has a lot of content.

Watch Kmart be wrong on the price and lose all that money on preorders.

the ONLY way i would buy this is if they add a jump button

@XFsWorld

People are willing to pay $60 every year for Madden and Fifa, and EA is happy to cash in on that. Activision had no problems in charging $30 for Angry Birds on 3DS. So why single out Nintendo? All fanbases can be taken advantage of.

@xj0462 I guess you never buy Zelda games.

@brewsky ive only bought thefirst the second the fourth the third and thebfree one for the dsiware

Oh ho......tempting tempting...I like cheap Wii U games Still need to get 3D World before this though!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure this one was cheaper to develop compared to 3DWorld as they had the engine and most of the assets already done. It just came down to adding a new mechanic here and there and creating the levels. The price feels right and I'm grabbing it on day 1.

Still my most anticipated game of 2014!

Said since E3 when announced this game looks like e-shop fodder.

I am still unsure with this

@DualWielding
Righhhhhht.... Cause Nintendo is known for selling $20 games for 2-3x the price. Also sells skins for $5 a pop last I checked.

should be $15

@6ch6ris6 Agreed.

@Grumblevolcano
When there is Mario or Zelda in the title they price it 59,90, the others are 49,90

but...
"if there would be enough content to warrant a full priced release alongside heavyweights such as Mario Kart 8"

And where is the content in the so called heavyweight MK8?

Well, all I can say is, "everything can't be 5 cents"

• Charlie Brown commercial

Guess if you don't want it, don't buy it. But I certainly am.

Day one buy.

@MixMasterMudkip me too. while i can see this doing pretty well as a 8 dollar eshop only title, i dont think it would sell very well as a full reatail title

played at hyper japan and was quite impressed!

I haven't played this game yet, but I'm sure there is forty dollars worth of fun to be had!!!! The stages in SM3DW were a treat!!

I will buy this at point when it comes out! looks good but I hope it's not too babyish.

@rjejr Good point. They may have the base game at $40 and then maybe a version packed with amiibo for more. As this game will support amiibo I hope Nintendo explains soon how amiibo works. Will certain characters only work with certain games? I just would love to know if Samuel and Link amiibo will work in Mario Kart 8.

It's easily more than worth $40... People just want something to complain about. $8 eshop game? Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen an eshop game with this much production value? If you look closely they even improved the visual fidelity over SM3DW. This isn't just a quick cash grab.

Sounds exactly like the right pricing so far. I think it will appeal to more people this way.

This game should be DLC for Super Mario 3D World like Super Luigi U is for Super Mario Bros U. It should be $20 for download version and have to have 3D world to play it or a Retail copy of Captain Toad for $30 just like Super Luigi U is.

I watched the game video on ign and it showed that this game even has boss fight!

Buying it anyways.

@Nico07 - I was just kidding about the amiibo, I didn't even know they worked with this game until I read your reply, so thanks for that. If the game is $40 and the Capt.Toad amiibo sells for $15 then a $50 bundle would be awesome I'ld pay $10 for the Capt Toad amiibo even if it dint't work in game, he's kinda adorable.

I honestly expected it to be within this price range, but still, I say: good deal!

oh cool i think the pricing for a short game is nice it does make you want to get it im still meh about it but who knows i might get it eventually
