So, it's not another game of the year from nintendo? Darn it.

It seems to me like the game got send out to die since it was released along Smash Bros.

And Destiny had a €500 million budget... Captain Toad isn't even close to 5% of that budget.

I agree, with the exception that you should credit captain toad with some innovation. Just calling it a mario spin-off overlooks that much of the gameplay is actually what you simply don't find in a mario game, from puzzle solving to stealth. The means in which you rotate the camara is also a new and fundimental element of the gameplay. However the noval camera system is an issue acording to some reviews.

People complaining about the drought but at the same time wondering for the games that release close to others. 

destiny set out to achieve nothing, it basically was a grindy shooter/mmo hybrid with awful matchmaking and a 10hr campaign. (talk about playing it safe!) and lo and behold, after setting out to achieve nothing, it somehow managed to achieve less than nothing. tbh it would have been the biggest marketing con of the year if this year had not been so filled to the brim with watch dogs and unity and the like. but at least destiny worked.

nevertheless, i'm comfortable with saying captain toad is a better, more imaginative and innovative game than destiny. because, well, it is. the reviews attest to that.

Who cares wheter if innovates or not? The thing is that is cool to play it.

I don't see how that has relevance in this but ok. Destiny is on a much, much grander scale than Captain Toad. Granted, bigger isn't always better, you are right if that's what you implied.. Still, Captain Toad was a safe game for Nintendo, piggy backing on the Mario universe. If it had been a completely new character and universe, I don't think it would garner much buzz. Destiny is the start of a new mega-franchise (wheter it will stick has yet to be seen) and really prone to failure, Captain Toad is just another game for the Wii U.

I care because innovation makes it a fresh expiriance. I persoally think it seems a innovative and fresh game. But the reason I raised the point was because of the subject of the discussion, which was a question of how much of a risk it was for Nintendo and was they playing it safe.

a faceless massively multiplayer shooter blatantly ripping off halo's gunplay and character design (not that those are especially good) is not a risk. it is as safe as you can get. almost as safe as a gta clone with hacking (watch dogs). almost, but destiny takes the cake.

Just makes you look like you're trying way too hard to defend your Wii u
