Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker [Wii U] announced Holiday 2014

I wonder if this lessens the chance of another 3D Mario on the Wii U in the future. 3D World just isn't enough for me.

Pretty sure it's already been confirmed that they are at work on the next Wii U Mario title. I can't remember where the interview was from though.

Not only that but they let their best development team make it. Cool stuff.

Retro Studios isn't making it :p. It does look incredible though!
 
I've not played 3D World yet (I know...), but this game looks great. Like, each stage is a big puzzle that needs solving, right? Like a nifty cross between Mario and Zack & Wiki?
 
I really enjoyed Toad levels in 3D World. I am glad the engine is being put in good use, hopefully we will see a third game using it.
 
All the cool kids like Captain Toad.

I am one of them.

Captain is always hyper, like the little adorable fucker is juiced up full of cocaine or something.
 
I feel sad because I know this game isn't going to sell well. I think it will be $59.99 (not that the price really matters) and it will flop no matter how good it is.
 
3D World left me wanting more of this so I'm in day one. Can't wait! And something actually coming out this year for a change!
 
EAD Tokyo Group No. 2 will have release Super Mario 3D World, NES Remix 1+2, and Captain Toad in a span of 2-years.

Retro ain't got nuffin on that.

And Retro released Mario Kart 7, DKCR3D, and Tropical Freeze in about two years. EAD Tokyo is also larger than Retro. And quantity =/= quality.

I was just joking with my post anyway, I love them both and objectively speaking one isn't necessarily better than the other.
 
Lol fuck off.

The Captain Toad levels were awesome, and a retail release doesn't mean it's $60. They launched Luigi at $30 and even Donkey Kong at $50. I'd be completely fine with a $29.99 release.

Pretty much. Besides, we have no idea how big this game is... It could have 100 levels for all we know. People should be more pissed that they keep getting charged 60$ for slightly altered versions of the game they got last year.
 
Along with Splatoon, I honestly can't wait to purchase this puzzle game. The Chinese Dragon is equal parts incredible & adorable.

Cawmm on son. They helped a bit on MK7.. and helped a lil bit on DKC3D. At least they got a better deal than NST. Those poor souls.
 
If this is retail, Nintendo would be smart to make this $39.99, unless it has like 200 levels or something. The fact that it doesn't have Mario on the cover or mention his name in the title means it will automatically sell less.

I'm buying it day one though.
 
I really enjoyed these bits in SM3W, and kinda wished there was a full game revolved around it, and now there is! I'll probably pick this up day 1.
 
Looks great. Will get it when I get a Wii U.

But wait, his brigade won't be in the game? In the Galaxy games it was a whole team of them (with him being the captain obviously). Don't know about 3D World since I haven't played it yet. Is it just him in SM3DW?
 
Well, I put an order for it today. Hope we get an official price soon.

Edit: Amazon Canada's promotions are all messed up. Might have to cancel it I can't get a good CSR.
 
I love that nintendo is giving each of the original mario characters their own unique type of game within the franchise. I hope we get a bowser game and a peach game some time in the future.

Super Princess Peach?

And Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story sort of. I do hope we get a fully dedicated Bowser game though.

While not a new series, Mario Party 10 is heavily focused around Bowser this time around.

Like most people, you must not have read the Iwata Asks for Mario Kart 7... It was a full collaboration. And yes, they did just help a bit with DKCR 3D. But then again, it's not like the NES remixes were some huge undertaking either.

Really is a shame about NXT though :(

Poor NST. I was actually so excited because the 3DS Mario vs Donkey Kong game is such a departure from the previous games. It's fresh, innovative, and unique. Unfortunately, for the Wii U, it's back to Lemmings...
 
The Treehouse extended footage is amazing; especially that boss level/lava dragon.

Looks like a lot of depth is in this game beyond the simplistic (though fun) 3D World levels
 
Today was a huge day for Nintendo, but I think that this, Toad's second video game and first the century, is GOTY material, and the big holiday game for me.

This was my face when it was revealed.

Seriously, the game looks gorgeous, and it looks expandable! If it sells well enough, you can bet there will be expansion added to it!

I was afraid we wouldn't get much Mario love this year; I am so fucking happy I was wrong.
