Well I mean it's week one, in one region. The smallest region at that.

Six months down the line we can call it a flop for sure if things don't improve, but I'm fairly sure 3D World didn't sell stellar amounts on it's debut week either...and that's a straight and up Mario platformer. As time has gone on it's gained more popularity and sales and spawned this game as a prequel.

Actually, why IS CoD listed there twice for PS4? Same game, looks like same edition, yet different sales figures.
hmm, it's probably a typo.

CoD IS on both PS3 and PS4, though. I think the person who typed that post on gonintendo.com could have accidentally put PS3 for both.

CoD was realeased on more than one system and in comparison to the other games, Captain Toad ranked quite well for a new IP that's exclusive to the Wii U and as such. 28 k isn't impressive, but it's respectable. Apparently Wii U units moved from 4000 last week to 14000 units this week and looks like Captain Toad contributed to this.

Of course, we should wait for worldwide releases too. It's a shame this game isn't getting a whole lot of attention.

Captain Toad sold 28K in the first week in Japan...?

Honestly, it sold way better than Wonderful 101 did in its first week in Japan... with a measly 5K.

Fair arguments are fair.
Honestly I don't think his voice is reason enough to keep him out. You're entitled to your opinion obviously, but if this is the biggest thing against him, it's pretty small potatoes.

This. ^

Anyone got Mario 3D World's first week sales? I swear they were super disappointing.

Remember this is the region where console gaming is significantly smaller to handhelds (just look at the gap between New 3DS sales and sales of the PS4, the console with the most sales of that week). Captain Toad is bound to do better in Europe and the NA region. NA region made Bayonetta 2 look somewhat respectable and Captain Toad has Mario association going for him.

Ummm... you know, now that SSB4 is out... we can fill out Club Nintendo surveys after registering the game. I plan to request for Captain Toad PLUS Dixie Kong, Simon Belmont, Takamaru, Wandering Heroes, Mallo, Captain N, Medusa, Muddy Mole, Bandanna Dee, Impa, Tingle, Mother Brain (I want a new mecha fighter), King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard (why not? I am already asking for a Toad and a Waddle Dee), Meowth... very nice and diverse instead of focusing entirely on the Hype 3. I'm bound to get somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of them.

Wait, Nintendo actually has a POLL on Club Nintendo's webpage on who we'd want to see in the next Smash?

No, there's like a question when you're filing out the CN survey that would ask you about what to expect out of a future game (Or was it about disappointing aspects you want changes). I'm pretty sure many people had taken advantage of that option to ask for the things they've wanted in the future for any Nintendo title.

I am going to ask for Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker for Christmas. Admittedly I don't have a major need for the game, but it seems pretty fun, especially when I loved his levels in 3D World.
Anyways, was a trophy found of him? I would be surprised if there were none.

Yes there was, It was in Gamexplain's 500 trophies video. Although he is grouped with the rest of the toad brigade

Aren't Zelda and Pink Haired Villager already playable?

Toad, Captain Toad, Toadsworth, Toadette, Captain Toadette and Toad Brigade would probably suffice as pallet swaps too. I'd rather get Toad/Captain Toad in with Toadette/Captain Toadette as an alt first before worrying about the lesser Toads, personally.

Well, since we're doing wishlists for SSB5:

Captain Toad/Toad
Dixie Kong
Vaati (Unlikely due to not even getting in to Hyrule Warriors)
Impa (Hyrule Warriors preferably after how successful it's been. Giant Blade and Naginata )
Bandana Dee
Samurai Goroh (impossible unless F-Zero stops being dead and useless)
Meowth (impossible dream; missed his chance in 64, but still)
Inkling

If we get Captain Toad, Dixie Kong and at least one other though, I'd be hugely happy. Triple points if Toad and Meowth get in; the two characters I've wanted since Smash 64.

It's worth noting there's very few characters I could be disappointed with should we finally get (Captain) Toad playable in SSB5. Truly Toad is one of the last remaining iconic Nintendo characters.

Here we go guys:



It's great that the Toad Brigade was referenced in this game. Captain Toad has his original look; however. Let's hope we get his modified appearance someday soon in Smash.

Also it's worth noting that Toad got two other trophies as well - the classic Toad trophy (same description as the 3DS version) and another trophy of Toad riding on the Quacker bike from Mario Kart Wii.

Hey! Look! Mailtoad!

How bad did Mailtoad have to be at his job in order to get replaced by Toadette? I mean the Yellow Toad is a lazy sack of crap, yet Toadette didn't replace him.

It's nice to see Captain Toad appearing in a trophy, albeit sad we didn't get a Captain Toad Treasure Tracker design trophy, when we got a Yoshi's Wooly World stage.

^To be fair, we've known about "Yarn Yoshi" for well over a year before it was renamed as Yoshi's Woolly World, so I'd imagine that Sakurai knew more about its concepts by then. Captain Toad really only became a sudden breakthrough character as of the end of last year with SM3DW and made an even more impressive appearance through Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker now.

Also I agree that it was saddening to see that Mailtoad did not return in Treasure Tracker. The brigade just doesn't feel the same even with Toadette seemingly having replaced him. D:

Would have been nice if he at least made a cameo by giving stamps or something within the game...

Well, technically Mailtoad replaced Toadette seeing how...

...Super Mario 3D World took place after Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. :awesome:

Would anyone be ok with the idea of Toadette being an alt for Captain Toad? I wouldn't mind if we eventually get more alts in this gen of Smash, especially since it would give people more options to choose from when you like that character's play style.

I'd be totally down for that! I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty sure I'm the one who first came up with the idea to have Toadette as a playable character via an alt. skin of Toad, specifically in the style of Captain Olimar/Alph and Bowser Jr./the Koopalings.

y'know, looking back at my "wishlist" i now can see if YoshiandToad tried his hardest not to say anything conflicting


Anyways, who else likes the idea of CT DLC? the only thing better would be having levels from other universes by amiibo (ex: a metroid level, or dk level)

When you say CT DLC, do you mean Captain Toad for Smash(aka this topic's point I suppose) or some additional DLC FOR Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker?

CT:TT worlds based off of the Amiibo's universes would be amazing though. A Legend of Zelda one would bring things full circle for the game.

The latter.

digging the idea of that LOZ one tho

if only Ice Climbers had an amiibo, because I can totally see CT climbing a mountain for gold.
