GamesNosh: Without question, the Captain Toad segments in Super Mario 3D World were one of the game’s unparalleled highlights. In lieu of the classic Mario platforming, these segments dropped players into thoughtful puzzle sequences that could be mistaken as a stand-alone game mixed with the regular levels. It’s no surprise that on occasions the Captain would be praised more so than World’s four main stars. It was even less a surprise come E3 last year during their Digital Event when Nintendo announced Captain Toad would be its own stand-alone title under the sub-heading, Treasure Tracker. The game is certainly not one of brisk contrast or even deviation from 3D World’s root mechanics. This still, when it comes down to it, belongs to the Mario franchise. The question is whether or not this spin-off is in fact worth warranting the expansion to fully-fledged game, but furthermore whether it justifies that all-important investment of time and money.
Nintendo has kicked off a big Summer Game Sale on the North American eShop. Switch owners can save on a bunch of different tiles from both Nintendo and third-parties, including Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Dragon Quest XI S, and much more.
Took them forever to put it on sale on the US store! It was on sale for the EU store back on the New Years sale, and at least 1 other time. I had waited so long, I just knew the minute I dropped $60 on it, it would end up going on sale. Took longer than I thought though. I nabbed DQXI S and also DQ Builders 2 last night. Both great games!
I had 7 1/2 hours in the DQXI S demo, so I already knew I loved it. Glad my progress carried over.
Amazon has once again discounted the physical version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker to $29.99 on the Nintendo Switch.
Only in Japan at the moment.
I will have to try this. Switch 2(whenever that comes out) should be able to display at least very good VR. I would love it to have a 4K display, but its Nintendo.
