Gaming Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Anyone pre-ordering it here?

[MarioFanatic64]

Still two weeks until it lands in Australia, so I've decided to preorder it. After watching a few gameplay clips it's looking to be the best damn 3D Mario game we're going to get this generation.

The front cover certainly looks much better than the American/Japanese but aside that, it's just as empty as the other ones (i.e, health pamphlets, Nintendo Points and disc).​

That front cover is like 1000000000000 times better. :o

As long as you're willing to pay £29.99 or £34.99 for it they'll probably have it.

I'll just wait for my £25 pre-order.

Yeah, the European cover definitely looks way better than the American/Japanese counterparts.

Here's a large sized photo of the PAL Captain Toad cover:

If it wasn't for Captain Toad I'd purchase Watch Dogs Wii U for £23 but I think it'll decrease to £10-15 so no rush for WD.

I like this game, it's a fun little puzzler and understand the $40 price tag is lower than a typical retail game but I'm sort of disappointed in the image quality of the game. Looks 720p with Vaseline smeared on the lens. It's just not crisp presentation. You'd think with such small little levels the graphics would be crisp, clear, and pop in detail.. But they don't. It's as if someone went overboard with FXAA post processing.

Well its not nice really Disc 2 at all, I played a little bit at the beginning to have ago before Disc 1 out of pure excitement and Toadette was holding what I think was a big black 12inch vibrating dildo?, I think, don't get me wrong here but also chasing very quickly by the looks of it Toad around one of the levels and he has to go to get to the star before Toadette shoves it where the sun don't shine!!!! man in my opinion I thought that was a bit wrong tbh and that was only level 1!

There's a special second disc? Could you take a photo of the 2nd disc?

Ergh, yeah I will just nip upstairs and get you a photo of it! Please tell me you weren't serious then cause you do sound deadly serious the way you wrote it?

I'm curious how it looks like since it's the first time I read about a "Special Edition" of Captain Toad.

OMG, you are actually serious

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Well, yeah, that caught my interest because for a budget game making a Special Edition was totally unexpected.

Edit:

​

​

This review's absolutely fantastic and now I guess the "70 plus levels" are the extra ones (18) you unlock from having a Mario 3D World savefile, so in Toad's it's 88 levels. Sweet that should last for a while with all the unlocking shit! ​

 

[shinkodachi]

There is no disc 2.

I think he is just playing the straight man. Either that or XXX was not a rating over there.

(Actually there never was an XXX rating, just X. The triple was just a marketing gimmick.)

Good. So everyone's equal 'cause shit like this even if it existed could go for a lot (i.e, Defective Amiibos) and I wouldn't want to miss out on such a rarity.

Or stuff like "Lenticular Sleeve Edition" of DmC PS3? I also hate it when everyone isn't given a fair and genuine chance to get a limited/special edition of a game. Hey, even if I had to enter a raffle. At least let me have the illusion that I could've gotten a limited release vs. hardly being informed about its existence and only being able to get it on eBay from scalpers.
