Forget (But not Really) Smash Bros Wii U! Captain Toad is the Game You Want!

I’m kidding. Smash Wii U will be a fantastic title and completely worth the purchase, but I’m personally worried that Captain Toad is going to get overlooked since it will be released after a Nintendo giant. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is coming, and from the newest trailer, he isn’t coming alone. If my memory serves me right, we haven’t seen Toadette in a adventure game since Paper Mario on the GameCube. She’s back, and appears to play an important role in the games story.

Before this latest Japanese trailer, I wasn’t even sure Captain Toad had a story line. I assumed it did, but had no idea what it was. Yet, I was hooked! Now, I’m more excited, because navigating a scared Toad through a variety of levels now has a purpose aside from being pure fun.

So, we know we will be rescuing Toadette, and we also got a sneak peak at a bunch of new levels and environments. When I played this game at an E3 event in Toronto, I was very excited. The game looks great and plays great. To make it even better, its coming to stores at a 39.99 price tag, twenty dollars cheaper than regular Nintendo AAA titles.

We will have a review up for this title prior to launch, but my current recommendation for you is to get this on day one. The only reason to not pick this title up is if you assume you’ll be preoccupied with Super Smash Bros. Even then, everyone needs a break from insane video game violence, right?
