Oh god you don´t know what you are talking about.

Thanks for the contribution.

Um we've barely even seen much of the game yet. I'm sure the e3 stuff was just a tiny showing of what the game has to offer. How about waiting to actually play it before declaring it "could have been so much more." Besides it's always beyond foolish to doubt Tokyo EAD. I trust them to make a good game out of Flappy Bird if they really wanted to.

Captain Toad, I'll be getting that

You don't have to - you have plenty of other games to choose from, including Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros, Bayonetta, Sonic Boom, and Watch Dogs, to name some of the most notable titles. But not all games appeal to all people, and CT:TT provides something for people who were fans of the special levels in 3D World. Since it mostly just required some extra modelling and coding that would probably be usable in a new 3D Mario anyway, and this game was probably something the 3D World guys worked on rather than the Galaxy guys, it seems like a smart use of resources to add an extra title to the 2014 lineup without sacrificing anything for 2015.

Why would we want a Toad adventure game? Nintendo might as well make one for a more interesting character..

That would change the game completely, possibly make it worse.

Hope so. Truthfully I hope Nintendo keep doing these small games that fans request, as long as the price is right. If it can bolster the lineup, give some of the smaller ips a chance to shine, make some profit then why shouldn't they? Not every game has to be AAA and I wish sony and microsoft could make some smaller games like this to bolster their lineups this year.

This is going to be my second retail purchase in 2014, at least it's doing something for me.

I don´t even know what you are getting at here.

So instead of a puzzle game, you´d rather have something drastically different.

...or you just want the game to have no levels/ be  open world ?

As far as the scope and mechanics are concerned, we know very few things about both.

I take an expertly crafted linear game with levels over a half hearted attempt at something the designers didn´t feel comfortable with any day.

Edit: And lol @ haggling for a cheap price. We don´t even know how big the game will end up beeing, but people are already deeming it unworthy of a normal retail price.

And people wonder why mid-tier games all but died last gen.
