Professional reviews from gaming critics
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker brings some fantastic puzzle gameplay to the Switch, and gives a Wii U classic another chance at life. If you missed it before, it's well worth grabbing now.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was one of my favorite games on the Wii U. What began as a mini-game in Super Mario 3D World turned into a great, fully-featured
Overall then, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a diamond of a game and a welcome addition to the ever growing titles available for the Nintendo Switch. The puzzles are fun and challenging as well as diverse and creative. If you’re a fan of puzzle/platformer games, then Captain Toad on Switch comes highly recommended. Recruit a friend for even more fun. Just makes sure they’re ready for an adventure!
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a joy to play. It oozes happiness, it makes me smile, and I absolutely love it. It’s a perfect summer game for the Nintendo Switch. Whether you played the Wii U version, or you missed out like me, you should absolutely pick it up. For $40, it’s a wonderful treat and I love seeing quality older Wii U titles get their day on the much more popular Nintendo Switch. This only allows these games to be introduced to a much larger audience, and frankly, that’s ...
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is another great Wii U game that is made better by the Nintendo Switch's portability. It's a fun experience that doesn't overstay its welcome, but definitely does feel repetitive in certain areas.
“After 30 years, Toad has a game that reflects him perfectly: just the right season and proudly of a different time.”
The software lineup for the Switch’s second year doesn’t measure up to its blockbuster opening year. Fortunately, Nintendo still has a volume of critical hits that launched on the underperforming Wii U to help pad out a thin release calendar. Titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze are robust ports of their Wii U counterparts. This rerelease of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker isn’t filled with nearly as many new goodies, but it remains a delightful romp for anyone who missed this treasure hunt the first time around.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker isn't the most taxing puzzle game in the world, but it's well-paced and enjoyable all the same.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is fundamentally strong with a solid core idea and great level design, but doesn't succeed beyond that. A more cohesive atmosphere, extra camera options, and deliberate mechanical progression could’ve made the experience far more satisfying. The conversion to the Switch brings along its own problems as well, making it hard to call this version definitive. As it stands, the game is a fun but forgettable adventure.
Like many, I missed out on the original release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the WiiU and was looking forward to its inevitable release on the Nintendo Switch. My exposure to the title was minimal, but it looked like a charming puzzle game with all the trappings and polish of a typical Ninte
With the lacklustre Wii U release still fresh in our memories, Nintendo appears to have but one mission this time around when it comes to their latest console, the Nintendo Switch. That mission is to give all the brilliant and highly underrated Wii U games a new home and a second chance at life, and I for one won’t complain. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is the latest Wii U title to find its way onto the Nintendo Switch and it’s a fungitastic romp not to be missed.
