For me, a lot of games that offer a lot of playtime are beaten and forgotten relatively quickly (I skip side quests etc.) and a lot of games that are shorter take a little longer (ie: Bayonetta 2 because I savor the experience).
I remember buying Starfox 64 for like $60 and seeing the end credits about a half our later. For me, it's not about the length. It's the experience. You can pad a game out with filler or you can give me a "pure" experience. I'd prefer the latter because I just don't have the time I used to.
With that said, I haven't played Captain Toad. It's likely to be my next game purchase, though. The game looks great.
