Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

[NEG]

Captain Toad levels being in 3D World was one of the only genuinely 'new' things about the title/only doable on Wii U kind of thing, so I was glad the levels were included.

If it can stand alone is merely down to the number of levels it'll have.

not really, it could have been down on any other console but it was a great addition to the game.

Is the Pad screen having first person Toad a newer thing, then? Can't remember if the 3D World levels had it. (e.g.: bit in the trailer he's throwing stuff at enemies on a wheel cart), but that's what I meant, along with more fluid level cube camera control with stylus, of course.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

It didn't have anything like that in 3D World, pretty sure it just mirrored the TV.

[Hitcher]

Can't wait for this and most of the other Nintendo E3 announcements. Nothing on X1 or PS4 looks worth getting one for!

[Jarik]

So this a stand-alone game then? I was kind of expecting this as a SM3DW expansion pack.

[SMD]

Yep, standalone retail. Apparently 100 levels?

Every time I see this thread bumped I hear the whistling bit at the start of the music to the levels in SM3DW.

Well, there goes the only Wii U game for the rest of the year that I was buying. It'll be the end of January as well, won't it?

Should have just called the machine the P.U.

[Vemsie]

Shame, would have made for a nice Cristmassy game. On the other hand, there is the Bayo collection and Smash Bros already and it's not a huge delay.

2015 is gonna be insane though.

[stefcha]

Insane in what sense?

Insane in what sense?

Insane as in what you'll be as everything gets delayed again. Let's all hope it doesn't all turn into something Twisted…

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Great news. More time to play Hyrule Warriors. Here's a new trailer:

[Vemsie]

Insane in what sense?

The sheer amount of games. (Almost) everything is 2015. Forgot about Hyrule Warriors. Still looks fun.

Uh, I wasn't aware there's much due in 2015 besides Zelda?

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Xenoblade as well, but I think he means in general for all platforms.

[stefcha]

I hope so, otherwise he's got a screw loose.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

The 2015 Wii U game lineup looks great. Zelda, Xenoblade, Kirby, Yoshi, Captain Toad, Fatal Frame (hopefully), Mario Maker, Star Fox, SMT vs Fire Emblem. That's just whats been announced.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

And that paint squid thing.

[NEG]

I thought half of those were coming this year!

[stefcha]

Indeed. Anyway, for shame I've not even reached any of these Toad levels in SM3D World, when does the first one crop up so I can see what it's all about? I really should make more of an effort.

[Duckula]

They're pissing away the goodwill that came from Mario Kart already.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Did none of you notice that all the good stuff at E3 which had people excited is next year?

[stefcha]

Well, next year or beyond - you cited Star Fox for one which was barely even shown as a tech demo. Regardless, it doesn't really help when this one was down as this year, and now it isn't (for us).

[Vemsie]

Xenoblade as well, but I think he means in general for all platforms.

Yup. That said, I agree with you that the Wii U line-up for 2015 looks pretty good.

And yes, Nintendo has stated that they want Starfox to be a 2015 title.

Mentions of Nintendo saying they want it to come out in 2015 in that article, or the one it links to: none. I'm sure they would like it to (and who wouldn't), but they haven't said so there and certainly haven't promised it. Actually, apart from people saying it I can't find anywhere where Nintendo themselves have directly said it. Did it come up one one of the Treehouse interviews? Might have done, I can't remember.

But anyway, as Toad Tracker shows, no point putting too much stock in any of the potential release dates at the moment really.
