Awesome. Great stocking stuffer :)



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

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.

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.


So bungie is ripping their own franchise off (Halo to Destiny) Yeah, ok.

Bungie doesn't own Halo.

If Nintendo ever made a Banjo-Kazooie clone people would also be calling it a knock-off.

the difference being that nintendo would never do that b/c making a banjo game would be scraping the bottom of the nineties barrel, whereas bungie has (or, more properly, had) halo and nothing else. and most of the halo people are gone. so what else are they going to do. sillier still: all the people who bought super deluxe ghost editions and bought into this crapfest and actually believe it's going to be supported for even five of the ten years promised...

anyway, back on topic: i'm thrilled to get to play captain toad in ~72 hrs. seems like it will live up to 3d world's (and ead's) high standards. (i bet shuhei yoshida has been playing it non-stop.)

Really looking forward to this game, looks like a lot of fun =)

For a slowpaced puzzler, this is a very good score. Looking forward to playing it when I make it through some of the other Wii U titles waiting their turn.

Giant Bomb giving a 3/5 rating because it's to shallow or simplistic for $40, yet score the Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes 2 hour $30 4/5 stars... wah? GamesRadar pulls the same crap but on a smaller scale with a 6/10 and 7/10 review. Still sounds like BS to me.

Different reviewers, different opinions.

It looked like a fun little title that I'm glad made it to the Wii U rather than being buried in the already large 3DS library. Probably not something I'll be purchasing anytime soon, see the one thing I dislike about Nintendo titles is that despite some of them not being that great, this game still won't drop below $40 for a while. This just isn't the type of game I'd go out of my way to get.

Not sure how much the price would drop for this title next year, I see the retail asking price is 40eur but pre-orders have been around 30eur...  debating if to get a pre-order or get it during 2015 in a 3x2 deal of some sorts.

So the 'love or hate it' mini-game is a 'love or hate it' game. Not sure why I'm surprised. What I do know is I am very likely to love it, and predict it will prove a cult classic.
