Reviews for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker have already come pouring in from online review aggregation site, Metacritic. Toad’s adventure currently has a metascore of 79 with Destructiod stating that Captain Toad is an experience that doesn’t attempt to really wow you, but instead delivers consistent puzzle experiences at a rapid pace. On the flip side Games Radar said that while it’s good to see Nintendo stepping out of its Mario comfort zone, Captain Toad just isn’t versatile enough to compete in the big leagues. What would be a budget eShop no-brainer is a little too slight at a higher price.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Averages 79 On Metacritic
more shovelware for the wii u :’D
i love you Sickr
What the hell is shovalware?
1. Software that is hastily made, without proper testing, and ‘shoveled’ down consumers throats in order to make some quick cash.
2. Software that is preloaded onto a computer, that does nothing but slow down performance and does nothing beneficial, but is added in order to increase price or add appeal into purchasing a computer.
Examples:
1. Battlefield 2: Special Forces Expansion Pack is a recent example of shovelware; it causes CTD’s, system failures, massive performance decreases, and addresses NONE of the original game problems.
2. Frank bought a computer just because it had a lot shovelware preloaded onto it, and now it takes 45 minutes to start up.
Started a long time ago on the C64.
Battlefield 2: Special forces expansion pack is recent example? :D
He’s trying to say “Call of Duty” is but he’s too retarded and proud to say it.
Oh I get it now. So shovalware means call of duty. Now I finally understand.
Yeah. Rushed, unfinished, crappy software: Call of Duty fits the bill with flying colors which it lacks anyway. Its usually almost orange, green, black/grey, brown, fuck it has the most boringly stale use of colors imaginable. lol
LOL!
Looks like he’s also talking about Assassin’s Creed 4 :)
Oh that Pirates of the Caribbean BS knockoff? lol
Yes, because everything involving pirates is derived from a movie franchise based off a Disney ride.
Fuck you Stranga.
The truth hurts doesn’t it? lol
i dont know. am not butthurt.
Then why the sudden 2nd grader insult I’ve always seen on IGN blogs?
…………..
Right. Then stay shut. I think Call of Duty is crying out to you so you can get crashed and lagged as you play AW.
Can you stop feeding the obvious troll? It’s annoying to see teenagers desperately trying to get attention by posing as others
Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing here..everyday in every posts? lol
Hmm…
Yeah, as if BF and COD are not already corroded from this virus. Don’t make me laugh.
Can’t you just goddamn ignore him…
im sorry but 79 on metacritic is pretty good no?
It’s a TROLL
Actually it’s a 80 now, the same score as that overrated ass Infamous Second Son that these Sony fans hyped up
The irony is strong in this one
Who hyped it up? What’re you talking about?? What a sad little dipshit
Haha take a look at these metacritic review scores for PS4 exclusives
Killzone Shadow Fall -73
Knack – 54
DC Universe Online – 75
Driveclub – 71

And it’s cute how you add a remake into your glory list of Wii U exclusives.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re a social degen you fucking loser 😝
Great way to list some casual games (which always get low scores regardless) and some Sonic games but what I did was name the biggest PS4 and Wii U exclusives and as you can see the Wii U wipe it’s ass with the PS4 when it comes to quality exclusives point being if you have a Xbox One, Xbox 360, or a PS3 you really have no reason at all to buy a PS4 unless all you care about is it’s specs and since you wanna go there here are some more Wii U exclusives metacritic scores to make you cry even more
Shovel Knight (home console exclusive) – 88
Stealth Inc. 2 – 83
Art Of Balance – 83
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (home console exclusive) – 82
Pushmo World – 80
Lego City Undercover – 80
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker – 80
Wonderful 101 – 78
Nintendo Land – 77
ZombiU – 77
None of these games are on the PS4 nor the Xbox One and it’s a goddamn shame that the Wii U has 3 games that have the fucking score as that overhyped repetitive ass Infamous Second Son that you Sony guys were hyping up. Now what you shitfaced moron? LOL
LOLOL listing casual indie games XD
#WiiOverhypedUShit
Who hyped up Second Son? Oh wait, NO ONE. Try harder baby girl, damage controlling Nintendo like a sad little fan girl 😝😉
You pathetic Sony morons hyped it up that’s who. ” Wait til Infamous Second Son comes out, wait til Infamous Second Son comes out. ” That’s all I heard you ponies say. You wait and see if The Order 1886 and Bloodbourne get bad review scores then what excuse are you Sony drones are gonna have
Uh, Sony didn’t make it out to be some AAA game, so your point?
Most people already know The Order’s gonna be okay, and the jury’s still out on Bloodborne*
Paid Enthusiast, paid by Nintendo? LOL
And you’re just volunteeringly being a whore for Sony LOL
…or maybe some people here have common sense LOL
How old is Wii U? Two years old. Two years and that’s the only games available for it? That’s so pathetic lmao. And yet the PS4 already has tons of great multiplats AND exclusives, in ONE year. It’s gonna destroy the Wii U next year, can’t wait to see your butthurt ;)
Repetitive? You realize there are new powers for the protagonist every chapter in the game? Sheep like you never played it anyways though. EXPOSED
>criticizes casual games
>lists Pushmo, Nintendo Land, Lego City
Love how you try and talk up Shovel Knight (an INDIE game mind you) and MH3 to be an exclusives. BTW, Monster Hunter 3 was on Wii fucktard. Try harder
And maybe your dumbass didn’t get the memo when I said ” since you wanna go there “. Welp listed casual games so I listed indie exclusives. And btw the Wii did had Monster Hunter Tri not Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate which clearly has a lot of changes unlike Last Of Us Remastered did……..dumbshit
“And btw the Wii did had Monster Hunter Tri not Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate which clearly has a lot of changes”
…yeah, that’s when you know you ran out or arguments
of*
Are you sad that your parents abandoned you at a young age?
They called Captain Toad Treasure Tracker stepping out of the Mario comfort zone ?
Did Captain Toad got a higher Metacritic score than Destiny? I’m about to check
Got a higher score than Hyrule Warriors and Fantasy Life
That is crazy, just mind blowing to me, I don’t know why it is but it is.
Because some people like a puzzle game instead of brainless shooting?
To be fair there are things in Destiny which do require planning carefully
Face it Destiny is dogshit
Face it it’s better than most of Nintendo’s trash
P.S. If you never played the game, you shouldn’t be running your mouth. Makes you look like a dumbass, just the tip
I have it on the Xbox 360 and I can tell you it’s dogshit. A complete Halo clone with some Titanfall elements thrown in. Repetitive, boring, and bland as hell. Hell Nintendo Land got a better score than that piece of turd did LOL
Yeah, on the 360, one of the worst systems to play the game on. There’s a reason they called it an MMORPG, and I don’t know how in the hell you thought its like Titanfall
Yeah thats true, though Hyrule Warriors is lot of fun regardless of its Metacritic’s score.
OMG! It did got a higher Metacritic score than the Destiny for the PS4 and XboxOne!
fucik you. xbox one has better games
Lol awww poor pussy cat, got mad I pointed out the truth?
lmao i got super smash bros wii u and it was boring as hell.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is amazing, maybe you just prefer games with a story.
The real Sasori actually said that it was really fun. Don’t feed the troll, it’ll eventually starve and go away
i don’t believe in that Sasori, he likes to talk crap about the people who comment on this blog and months ago he was exposed as the one who had been trolling with other accounts attacking the nintendo commander guy and others. i bet this is sasori as i said i don’t believe in his change of heart.
Nope, look at the IGN Wii U re review article here. He did say that
Sorry but i don’t believe him, he just wants attention. I don’t believe any word of those guys who keep complaining and talking about how boring is their life on internet and that Sasori is one of those people.
But we are here to talk about videogames and that is what really matters.
Actually, he has no friends……. that´s why he says Nintendo games are boring. Too bad.
But now he’s praising nintendo after all the bullshit he said. he only wants attention because he has no friends!
Ummm thanks for sharing your opinion.
super smash bros is fun!
Bullshit. You probably bought COD: Ghosts like a fucking moron.
Smash bros. Boring? You crazy. Its better than Brawl.
Don’t feed…
And I agree, let the ant starve!!
LOL!!!! OH SHUT UP, YOU DAMN DIRTY TROLL XD
You mean that Forza 4.1 with a cardboard for audience detail or the broken ass Halo: The Master Rehash (to save the dead Xbox DOne) Edition…or Advanced Rehashfare number #20 with the same, unchanged and unbalanced decade old engine?
Oh Nintendo Commander would love to hear this. :D
Hahahahahahahahah…
Our little buddy destroyed Destiny, I love the butthurt…
Xbox Done exposed…
2:10-2:15
xD Sheldon just compared the Xbox One to the Xbetamax & the PS4 to the VCR. Sounds about right.
VHS* Fixed.
They’re completely different games……
True but a score is a score.
awesome! Looks like great fun for the Wii U. Gonna buy it for sure :)
It should have had at least 100 levels…
I figure this might score average because it seems a bit too easy and quick to beat.
I’ll buy it when it’s cheaper, although I always wanted a Toad game, this doesn’t justify the price right now, unless there are hidden things in the game…
$50 for 70-80 easy levels that lasts about 2-4 minutes to beat is not even a justifible bargain.
The average gamer can beat a cod campaign in 4 hours.
A child can beat it in 3 hours. It’s that fucking easy even on Veteran.
OR rather, I’ll wait and see how they price it here…
Looka fun, but as I’m short on gaming time, I’m skipping it as of now.
i found it new for 28€ at amazon (now’s for 32 or so) so i preordered it
Bufaensfittehu! klag på at det er en ny serie! Det er en rein ny IP! Skrik mario kopi! Kaptein Soppe er bedre enn Naruto!
Uh, no, it isn’t a new IP, it isn’t a new series, it’s a continuation of the levels from SM3DW. Still fun though!
And why are you comparing Mario to Naruto in Norwegian again? :p
Not trying to be racist or anything but Norwegian looks like a damn chicken came up with that shit.
Haha!
Vakre troll av bloggen, jeg kaller dere frem!
“Beautiful witch of the blog, I call you forth!”?!
Beautiful trolls of the blog, i summon thee!
Pretty much as expected. It’s a solid, if unspectacular, game.
Fuck, I was not going to buy this, but now FOR THE TROLLS I will buy this one. Like HELL YEAH XD
I figure it might score like that.
I expected higher though. Still getting it anyways
Right. Says the Sonyan talking shit about Nintendo and them not being important enough for gaming. lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz155PzX5oE
*wink*
Lmao!
Uh, because they deserve to be called out for their mistakes?
And WHEN did I say they weren’t important enough? I simply said that there won’t be a huge earthquake when Nintendo leaves. Don’t put words in my mouth. lol
Like PSN’s continuing hack attacks and shut downs? lol
You already implied that they’re not important for the gaming industry to care when they’re gone because “they’re Nintendo” BS. Say and think what you want. I’m so praying that if the crash happens, Nintendo should leave with their properties and dignity as the market implodes itself with laziness, greed and stupidity.
Yeah, it’s fairly clear that Xbox Live is better than PSN.
There are plenty of talented developers in the gaming industry that aren’t Nintendo, not that no one cares about Nintendo. You read it wrongly
Not even close. PC is the same shit and it’s FREE.
Didn’t you just said “Nintendo leaving won’t affect the industry” thus also implying that no one will care if and when they’re gone? Contradicting yourself much?
Quote: You already implied that they’re not important for the gaming industry to care when they’re gone because “they’re Nintendo”
There sure as hell ain’t any in the Sony camp judging from those mediocre underwhelming games
Metal Gear Solid V, Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Uncharted says hello. Facts probably won’t affect your Nintendo dreamland though
It’s funny how people act like a 7 is a terrible score. You do realize the scale goes from 0-10, with 10 being perfect ? And a 7 is only 3 points from perfect ? It’s silly to act like everything below 8 is bad.
Also, I think everyone knew that Toad’s Treasure Tracker wasn’t supposed to be a full fledged, 100 hours long, heavily story driven game with lots of in-depth content or anything of the sorts, but more like a “small” yet charming game (thus, the lower price tag). And for what it is, it seems to be a good one. Comparing it to other games from entirely different genres and saying it has a better/worse score is absolutely pointless.
Either way, I most likely won’t buy it, but good for those who are into games like this.
Exactly! 7 is “great” in my books. It’s not the next Halo or Zelda, but it’s a fun little spin-off of 3D World that I’m fine with playing
I absolutely agree. 7 means there are some things that could have been done better, but all in all, it’s still a pretty good game. By no means is it a bad score.
You’re just saying that because that dogshit Destiny game got a 7.6. You’re just trying to save face that’s all
Uh, maybe if you actually READ my comments, I’ve been saying this since the start? Love how you keep using Destiny as your only excuse, it’s funny how weak of an argument you actually have
Reblogged this on eufario512's Blog.
I think it should have just been a eshop title anyways.
And limit the sales? Not everyone downloads games.
Puzzle games are the most popular games on the planet.
I realise what it is, just a short spin off puzzle game. However I wish it had more levels. I was hopeing for at least 100 levels. I’m still gonna buy it of course…
And btw, it’s sitting at 80 on Metacritic now. If Games Radar and Giant Bomb didn’t both give it a 60, it would be sitting at around 88-90.
Isn’t a $40 game? If so, then is good for the price, I suppose…But still, Interested in this game.
You know you’re a good dev when it is news that one of your games gets under 80%.
But it’s not under 80 anymore… It has gone up a little..
i love captain toad.
it was almost the best on 3d wörld.
its a new franchise and with the next game it scores maybe the 90.
remember smb 1, metroid etc.
was not perfect when they started with their first game.
something great will come :-)
Some people just can’t tolerate the charm of Captain Toad, Whatever. It’s GOTY for me.
WHAT?! Why so low? The game looks really good…. I don’t believe the score. I bet you I will love the game.
not every game needs to be a above 80 to be a great game.
Anybody else notice that nintendo have the lowest selling console but the highest rated and highest selling Eclusives? I guess you cant keep a real N down:)
And how’s that speed of those games being released?
Emphasis on EXCLUSIVES. No one wants a console that doesn’t even have a game like COD. And by the time 2015 ends, the PS4/Xbox One’s gonna crush Wii U
And that’s the only games you PS4RONs can play are the sales game and power game but when it comes to must have exclusives you asshole trolls know the PS4 is at a complete disadvantage when it comes to the Wii U. Desperate much?

Lol, adding indie games and a bunch of Star Fox demos.
“3 exclusives courtesy of Sega’
Uh, nope
What were the expecting… sex, explosions, murder and mayhem in the game?
Can you actually READ the flaws they explicitly stated in their reviews? Stop generalizing other games, because it makes you look ridiculously immature
Says the moron with the username ” Shuhei Yoshida ” who trolls on Nintendo fan gaming sites……smh
Is my username really the only comeback you have?
I could also say how the PS4 has shitty exclusives and that the only reason you hang out on a Nintendo centric site is because you’re envious of Nintendo fans and you’re asshurt over the PS4’s abysmal lineup 😜
Envious over what? I have a Wii U idiot, LOL.
Abysmal? So MGS V, Uncharted 4, Persona 5, Arkham Knight are abysmal? Yeeeeah, try again
Go play your games then… quit hanging out here. Nobody likes you anyway.
Omg i r so offend over a teenagrer insult omgggg
Why does 3D World DLC get its own retail release?…
Why did a PS3 game get re-released on the PS4……cough, cough Last Of Us Remastered…..smh lol
So people that never got to play it on PS3 could play it.
That’s a dumb excuse but yet you Sony fans try to shit on Nintendo for releasing Wind Waker HD and Wii Sports Club for the Wii U
That’s not a dumb excuse, it makes perfect sense. And the PS4 doesn’t have backwards compatibility. Anyone like myself that didn’t own a PS3 and jumped straight to PS4 would’ve had the option to play the game. And btw, I wasn’t one of those people. I was glad about that because I never got to play Wind Waker before. So now I have Wind Waker HD for Wii U. And I bought Wii Sports Club because I enjoyed the original.
This game looks so fun. Lol.
OMG! The world must be coming to an end. I actually agree with HollowGrapeJ. This game looks SUPER fun!
I can tell this is a UK based site (or Europe in general). Because it was only 11:38 p.m. when I posted that last comment, but it said 6:37 a.m. on it. So 7 hours later than where I am means UK time.
That’s a good score. I would have bought Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker along with Pokemon Omega Ruby but I completely forgot it was coming out soon & now I can’t afford to buy it! If only I wasn’t wanting to go see the 3rd Hobbit movie in theaters like I did the first two games. Oh well. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
