Captain Toad Returns In This Week's Nintendo Music Update

cutest cover art on nintendo music?

We're putting Razzle Dazzle Slider on full blast tonight. Love this track.

@OctolingKing13 only until we get (Poochy &) Yoshi's Woolly World.

Nice, definitely giving this a listen! Heard the whole soundtrack on YouTube years ago and absolutely loved it, it's very chill yet upbeat at the same time.

The Switch 2 upgrade will be a welcome excuse to replay this for a fourth time... (when I actually pick one up)

And I would totally quadruple dip if they release a physical copy with the Switch 2 enhancements + DLC on the cart.

I find it odd that they're even bothering to update games that are long out of print though.

Now this is a game that needs a sequel, also Zack and wiki: quest for Barbaros treasure

It's not going to be every day that we see a soundtrack added to this service that gets 3 different console slots lol

This game could not have been a bigger surprise for me. I avoided it for several years because the Toad levels on 3D World didn't impress me.
When I finally bought the game earlier this year (just on a whim to try something different), I was FULLY hooked. One of the best games on Switch for sure.

Super duper game but more organized levels will make it better ( beach world , ghost world etc . )

One of my favourite games to play in the Wii U days. It has such a great, cosy soundtrack. I'll be downloading a few those tunes right now...

Listening to those tracks despite only having played the demo of Captain Toad.

It's a very, "Yeah, this is a fun way to kill some time," game. Not going to blow you away but it's a pleasant little way to keep yourself distracted.

Though my hot take is that - with the knowledge it was originally going to be a Zelda game - it should've actually been a reinvention of Ice Climber.

Meh, Captain Toad was a great game, but I didn't find its music to be anything special.

@Lizuka Okay, now I'm curious. How would that work?

@Lizuka "with the knowledge it was originally going to be a Zelda game"
Source on that? Because this game was spun out of the Captain Toad side levels in 3D World.

@BTB20 The Captain Toad levels in 3D World started out as a pitch for a 3D puzzle game starring Link. You can read more about it here.

@N00BiSH Largely the same structure - alternating between Popo and Nana, have the hammer replace the pickaxe, base the various enemies more off Ice Climber ones and add more new things along that vibe, have the condor in place of Wingo, that kind of thing - but going more snow / mountain-themed with the levels. Wouldn't really bare any resemblance to the original Ice Climber granted but the pieces are there for it to be a Kid Icarus Uprising-style reinvention of a largely forgotten game, and while the lack of jumping might be out of place I can kind of justify it under the logic the jumping in Ice Climber is some of the worst I've ever seen in a game anyway.

Treasure Tracker is one of the reasons why I love the Wii U.

I shamefully admit I didn’t get past the first boss stage and gave up!

I loved Treasure Tracker on Switch up until the final challenge level. I got so frustrated with it, I almost quit. But I persevered and beat it. Never again, lol.

The music is so good from this game! And Captain Toad is so cute. I really love this game.

I'm still disappointed the Switch 2 update didn't add mouse controls, they would've been perfect for this game

@N00BiSH Nice piano but wish the bass was EQ'd louder personally.

Ditto 51 Worldwide Games :-/

I am still waiting for this game to go on sale to buy it. Nintendo refuses to put it on sale lol. I own it on wii u. So, I need a good price lol

So roughly every week Nintendo Music is getting new tracks.

I know they are apples and oranges, but it would be awesome if NSO added content as frequently as the Music app! 😊

I think we need a smart TV version of the app, I'd love seeing it available also on other eshops than Play.

Speaking of Treasure Tracker, it's a great game, I already had it on my 3DS but wanted to get it again for my Switch 2 after I saw it on sale on the eshop. It's fun and challenging, no reason not to love it!

A good game, for sure, and a little weird with a number of inventive ideas, showing Nintendo at what they tend to do best. While it’s an overrated-underrated game in my view (and the music is just okay), I appreciate its originality.

@Elitepatriot At least in NA at the moment the game is on sale.

@Lizuka is it. Let me check. Snap it is. Thanks for the heads up. Will pick this up.
