Captain Toad

Captain Toad is at it again. Nothing can keep Captain Toad away…from adventure! I played Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Wii U. I loved it there. And I was excited when I heard the game was coming to the Switch and 3DS with four brand new levels (based on Mario Odyssey). I recently got Captain Toad on the Switch!

These games were so popular, in fact, that Nintendo decided to create an entire experience for Toad. And people loved it. Unfortunately, people didn't love the Wii U though, so this fantastic game only made it into a fraction of the households who actually owned a Nintendo Switch.

If you didn’t, check it out below and come back for my thoughts on what was shown. Today’s Nintendo Direct is the best one we’ve had for awhile. I was amazed by so many of the things we’ve saw. First of all, I am a huge Warioware fan. So the announcement of a new Wariorware game…
