Yeah, I'd be surprised if there were only 20 levels, even if they did have a 'hard mode'. I mean, they're probably a team of ~40 people making this game in around 1 year, but surely they have more ideas than 20.

They better not use this as leverage to push Smash Bros Wii U back into January.
Smash Bros WiiU is Holiday 2014. They want it out before Christmas to drive sales. This is doubly important with it being the vehicle for Amiibos. They'll want both the game and the toys out in time for Christmas.

Did Nintendo upload the Treehouse presentation for this game? I can't seem to find it.
The dragon boss looks better than anything in 3D World.
Heck, the Shy Guys even have texture on their robes.
For some reason they haven't added all the segments to e3.nintendo.com, but here you go either way.

Thanks! Wish it was in HD but it'll do.
Thought so, it looks closer to Nintendo's character renders than 3DW does.
Natural progress with their growing experience with WiiU. I wonder what the next game will look like

Plus the smaller scope of the levels allows for more effects.

It's an add on to NSMB. Nintendo just took the unusual step of making the add on a stand alone physical disc as well, but it's still just an add on and that's all the digital version is. Same reason you can't, say, play the Titanfall season pass maps without first owning Titanfall.
That too

That looks so good, I can't wait for this game.
I'm really excited to see the variety they come up with in the level design, and I'm especially interested in seeing the boss encounters.

Not even a shadow of doubt about that.
But is it just me or did they up the graphical fidelity in this game? It looks way more vibrant and less creamy than SM3DW does to me.
Only being one playable character probably freed up some resources for better graphics.

This is a first-day get. I know this is kind of cheating but I wouldn't mind if this was a "new" IP.
I don't remember being able to zoom in the camera very far in the Toad levels in SM3DW, so besides having the time to upgrade and refine assets, I'm also assuming they did some graphics improvements because you're actually seeing things up close. Like, I don't think anyone would have been able to notice if Toad's headlamp band had a nylon texture in SM3DW, but it's a nice detail here.

you couldn't zoom the camera in at all in 3dworld, and i think these screenshots are just for press.
In the e3 build you could zoom in but not this close, i would love this option to be in the final build but sadly i have my doubts.
Yeah, I'm assuming it actually wouldn't be functional or useful to be able to zoom in that close, since you'd lose sense of the level layout, but they also showed some different modes in the trailer (like a first-person perspective part from a mining cart), so maybe there'll be different sections or tasks where you can get a bit more up close.

I wish i had your optimism, i'm expecting nintendo to add multiplayer, after all this game is compatible with ammibo.
By august the camera will be even further away and you won't be able to zoom the camera in at all because just like 3dworld it will have multiple characters to choose from, toadette, toadsworth e.t.c compete against each others ammibo's within the time limit to get the most treasure
fingers crossed i'm wrong!
Maybe there will be some kind of co-op, but I don't see multiplayer happening, the maps are too small.

3D World kills two birds with one stone. It's a game you should play in and of itself, obviously, but also demos the concept of "Captain Toad levels" so you'll know if you're interested in the core gameplay.
