Wonder if the lack of news like dates and whatnot could point to a direct before long?

Have you seen him under water?, my heart wont be able to take, it will melt.Captain Toad adorableness:
Zoomed in adorableness:
Edit : I want Nintendo to make an T-rpg look like this.
A Final Fantasy Tactics 2 in the same isometric style would be so dope.

There's such a stark simplicity to this title that seems to hearken a lot to Nintendo's earlier days. I could easily envision a 2D isometric verion of this being played on the SNES, and I think that's underlying the appeal that a lot here have hooked onto.

Yeah, I'll buy this game as soon as it supports the Pro Controller.

This game oozes so much charm.
Just looking at those screenshots I can't help but smile.

Goin' any-where
That would be truly amazing. (Also, I've wanted a Paper Zelda for a long time.)
Fingers way crossed!

The treehouse footage was great. CT continues to look like a treat. I'm loving Captain T's new, clumsy little "star get" sequence. XD

Holy shit... That'd be amazing.

Your EAD loss
Are you expecting there to be 8 levels or less like there were in SM3DW?
I'm sure you'll change your mind if reviews say this is a full fledged game, and not a 2 hour puzzle game.
To be fair, 3DW was fairly easy, and took 8.5 hours to beat.
I want this game so much. It's one of my most anticipated.
Sounds strange to say when Smash and Bayonetta, Wasteland, Fantasy Life, and other such games are on the horizon (but not Isaac, I need Isaac). I really like puzzle games though, and I think Captain Toad qualifies as an action puzzle kind of game.

I take it you didn't get all the stars?
Sorry, I meant to say about 8 hours.

(One of my favorite games of all time. Played through as the L-man. I still need to beat the final level. I also plan to re-play the game as each remaining character: one no power-up run, one no touching enemies run, one no coin run, and one run with all of the above conditions.)

Will the retail release conserve that level of IQ?, it looks good.

Indeed. Nintendo really knows how to utilize hardware extremely well. The fact it runs as good as it looks just makes it that much better.
Most definitely. I'm not a Smash Bros. guy, for example, and even I'm astounded how good it looks in motion.

I'd buy it at full price and anyone that wouldn't I'd call an idiot but Nintendo would probably be wise to price it a bit lower than usual

The puzzle gameplay and style is reminding me so much of the 3DS game Mario & DK Minis on the Move, which I'm playing now and really loving it too. Is this by the same team?
It's the same blurry AA they used for 3d world so probably

I don't see why not. The game doesn't seem particularly taxing. It's beautiful but it's not processing the same sorts of things that a game like Mario Kart 8 does.
Captain Toad is a budget title with small scale to its levels but it really looks like it has all the typical Nintendo production values behind it. The game will look and play wonderfully.
That one is by NST, this is EAD. It's tough to keep track of all of Nintendo's teams!

Fair enough. That is actually my main concern, the amount of content in relation to the price.

All the stages look rather small so I guess it wouldn't be hard to load the entire map at once and leave the rest of the processing power to some AA which is rather taxing.
I know, it's crazy.
FWIW, I believe at E3 Nintendo said the game will have as much content as you would expect from a full retail release.

Yeah, especially considering it already has, from Wii U's vantage point.
Like the Captain Toad levels of 3D World, which where puzzle levels that required figuring out where to go, and in what order, with a little bit of timing involved.
They were really fun, and felt kind of like one of those 3D marble mazes.

Nintendo just keeps proving they know how to do DLC right (even though this is more stand alone than New Super Luigi U).
..this isn't dlc?
also this isn't really $40 worth for me :/
15 eshop or probably rent
Such a beautiful game. <3

It's almost perfect. The only thing missing is the skulls of past toads on the side of the path.
how do you know that?
I'm still wondering what the price will be. I've got it pre-ordered via K-Mart for $39.99, but still seeing $59.99 in several places.
Duh, he's from the future, just look at that avatar.
