Posted October 10, 2014 So it's confirmed that it'll be €30/£25 or less? Answer... It doesn't have a confirmed price over here yet. The retailers will all lower prices once Nintendo announced it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2014 Argh another thread derailed by @Wii's unbelievable tightness and constant ignorant moaning about prices, release dates and features. Not telling us what the amiibo features in Captain Toad are is now "deceitful"? Cringe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2014 Aren't "ignore lists" great? No, that shouldn't be a question, it should be a statement. Ignore lists are great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2014 Aren't "ignore lists" great? No, that shouldn't be a question, it should be a statement. Ignore lists are great! Just a small tip, the above would have a lot more meaning if it wasn't posted directly after someone you're supposedly ignoring posts about you Don't worry I know you never actually put me on ignore, just like you never put Serebii on it. A request, please please please don't ruin this thread with constant whinging about exchange rates, prices, lack of features, delays, missing amiibo functionality, Nintendo being deceitful, or other such b0llocks like that about this gem of a game.

Posted October 21, 2014 #NintendoUKStore orders of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker come with this free keychain! Wow! That totally makes up for us not getting the game this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2014 Oh well, because the keychain is Nintendo store exclusive, that means I should get my ShopTo order on time or before release day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2014 Might be nice if it's shiny gold, which it most likely will be to go with the whole 'treasure' angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2014 My fiance was getting quite excited about this (she loves Toad), but was disappointed when we found out it was single player only. Probably won't get it now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2014 I was thinking about this recently and how easily this would port to iPad/Android (assuming it played like the original levels). When we were all talking about how Nintendo could get 'alternative' sorts of games that essentially don't compete with their typical console games, this would work pretty well (especially since it's pretty simple to control). This also feels quite mini game-esque (since it pretty much was one) and I think doesn't feel like it should be its own big game; it might do better as an app in terms of appeal.

Yeah, but in terms of business that could easily become a disaster. For example: on the App Store, there is only a very limited amount of games that gained commercial succes. The games that do gain succes, are very low-priced and mostly depend on ftp formulas. I don't think that turning this into an app/game would be a very sound decision from a business perspective Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but in terms of business that could easily become a disaster. As opposed to releasing the game on Wii U? It could be a quarter of the cost yet have 10+ times the audience. Statistics obviously made up, but there's serious potential there, and you can't really look at all apps ever released to make the statement you just did given that this is an app that would be made by a very credible company (unlike most apps). And importantly, it's an already well established franchise (Mario and co.). Edited October 27, 2014 by Sheikah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever played the Captain Toad stages in SM3DW? Have you seen any actual footage of the game? There's no way you'd be able to control it! Despite the lack of a jump button, the game still requires precision control for movement and camera control as well as interaction with objects and enemies. It also makes heavy use of the two different screens for perspective based actions and puzzles, as well as gyro controls without interfering with the TV screen view. It wouldn't work on a phone (or a 3DS for that matter!) Anyone who has played the CT stages in SM3DW would know that instantly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Have you ever played the Captain Toad stages in SM3DW? Yeah? I own the game and have completed all the levels. Come on, give me credit, I wouldn't say the gameplay wouldn't suit a device if I didn't know what the gameplay was. It would be ridiculous levels of easy to control; in fact I think it would even benefit from being more easily able to finger swipe the camera. They could make Toad auto walk in a given direction (or even have it so you can hold down one side to move along in 2D across the typically one block thick platforms), and you could jump with a tap. Thinks like blowing aren't really needed. It's really not a precision game at all! Edit: I just remembered now, you're the one who thought fruit ninja would work better on the multitouch-lacking 3DS using a stylus than a tablet.

Posted October 27, 2014 its a budget game too, so not a co plate rip off. I've p,sued a few levels and a so,hugely love it and Id much prefer playing it the tele with a controller. Although I do think Nintendo should provide little experiments on mobile, this isn't one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2014 It's still laughable how many people think the App Store is a viable market place. The staggering odds are that by 2018 only 1 in 10,000 apps will be commercially successful, with the vast majority of commercially successful apps surviving off the free to play model with in game purchases being the main way to earn revenue. http://www.cultofmac.com/262310/race-bottom-1-app-10000-will-financial-success-2018/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
