Is it confirmed that this is done by EAD Tokyo? I mean, to me it seems like this is a game that could very well be handed off to some small B-tier team, with some general management/direction from some of the EAD Tokyo guys. They already have the assets/engine etc. from 3D World.

I don't believe for a second they're devoting what is one of their AAA upper top-tier teams to such a small, niche title.

Game looks amazing, and great fun, by the way!

They said in the Treehouse event that it was by EAD Tokyo. And I doubt a B-tier team could replicate the quality of EAD Tokyo's work.

Alright then. Well, then it's likely done by a very small part of the team, as they don't need the whole team for such a small spinoff game, and Nintendo isn't stupid. They need all the games they can get and won't let their best studio spend all their time/people on this game. Besides, they already have the engine, the art direction's well in place, and they already have tons of assets, animations, sound effects and whatnot, all from 3D World.

Oh, they can be... ;)

I agree that this won't be taking up all of Tokyo EAD.

I know. Captain Toad was so good that it deserves his own game. It is a must buy to me this holiday.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Aren't they just reskinning Super Mario World 3D?

Not trolling BTW, this a genuine observation. It looks like something they through together in the last 6 months using 3D worlds assets.

3DWorld was released 6 months ago.

I think the Toad game looks fun, it was really nice because the Captain Toad is one of my favorite characters of Super Mario Galaxy and Toad has always been one of my favorite characters from the Mario series he he
