19 hours for everything? So totally not worth $40 bucks then?

Not to mention, SFF is a competition-level player. The lay gamer would like require more time to achieve this.

You could shave some idle time off of that but I'm pretty comfortable with putting it at an easy 15+ for the completionist, minimum.
I usually loathe quantifying a game's length to begin with, but less so in this case because it's not the type of game I'd replay often.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how much you've been looking forward to playing this game with your wife.Don't let it get to you too much, in the end it's just a game and there are a billion ways to have a nice Christmas together! Hopefully you can find another game or something else entirely that you both can enjoy without any pain. Have you watched the Pikmin Short Movies yet? While a bit on the expensive side, they are an absolute delight and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. They're very much like the Pixar short movies they show in cinemas. I watched them together with my boyfriend, who has never played a Pikmin game, but he still adored the movies

Thanks kubus! I was going to reply to your email today and tell you about this. We have watched the Pikmin movies, they were really cute for the most part. Good stuff for sure. I'm sure we will figure out another game or games to play together over our staycation. We certainly have plenty to choose from in the backlog, so that's good. In the meantime if my head feels up to it I'll give CT a shot myself this afternoon when Jen's studying for her finals.

I don't get people's problem with Toad being 10-15 hours long. Doesn't the quality of the experience matter more than the time? Also, aren't most puzzle games this long or even shorter?

I kind of want to see if 10000 is possible on the final stage.

Seems people would rather fetch quest once it extends playtime.

Nah, the main game is easy as dirt. The challenges are pretty tough, the time trials are brutal, and apparently getting them all gets you a 50 stage level.
I do not think anything is co-op though besides the 4 bonus levels.
Really? it is that easy?

I wouldn't go that far. Did you play the 3D World levels? If you did, you probably know what to expect in terms of difficulty.

how big is the download for this game? sorry if it is in the OT but I can't see the images at work
I managed to get 10 free bucks from the wii u deluxe promotion, so I'm thinking of just getting this game from the eshop

Around 2GB.

Nothing in Captain Toad ever compares to World 8 of 3D World. It is pretty much World 6 is the hardest in the main story at most. Now the challenges and bonus missions are actual difficulty.

I think overall its pretty comparable, outside of the bonus missions which I can't comment on. I find the "action" stages to be a little tricky.

I bet it is, you got 7738 coins while actively running away from coins half the time
You're welcome
I've been using and it seems to work nicely when you want to see the level with the camera perfectly aligned or from a good angle depending where our lil Toad is walking.You're welcome
Thanks Adan
Will report in this evening! I'm psyched to give it a shot.Kamek Koopa

Is people moving in Miiverse asking for this to Nintendo? If not, it may be a good time to start doing it.
You get 40 coins.
Can't remember right now but either your NNID or your console SN need to be linked to your Club Nintendo account before downloading any game.
edit: it's your NNID
You absolutely should, yes. I would assume 40. They may not show up immediately, though. You'll also get DDP of course, provided you have a Wii U Deluxe.

Thanks guys. I have my NNID linked and bought it a few days ago and just noticed my club nintendo coins and products haven't been updated with it. So was curious.
Reporting back from the outskirts of the Sprixie Kingdom as promised. The 45-degree angle trick did not help, but I was glad to be able to try it. The R stick click trick did help a bit. I went in with no significant nausea and a mild migraine, I came out with mild-ish nausea and a mild to moderate migraine. I probably played for a bit too long, though. This was a half hour session or so. I did really enjoy the levels I played
So, in my mind it's only further solidified that four things would improve playability immensely for me: (1) a mid-zoom option. It's not realistic to play well with the zoom on, and for those of us without a massive TV, and who are a reasonable, normal distance from the screen, it's a bit too zoomed out by default; (2) the ability to make the R stick less sensitive for camera movement; (3) the ability to toggle gyro on/off; and, (4), an on/off toggle for mirroring the TV on the GamePad. I think seeing the spinning level on the GamePad in the periphery of my visual field just makes the experience more dizzying. (I don't think I can simply play on the GamePad either because (a) graphics are blurrier so that can't help and perhaps (b) having to position unideally to avoid gyro movements.)
Those would be my four big requests for a patch. I think they would make a significant difference. You know, this is a lovely game and I really wish I could enjoy it to its fullest. I'm endlessly eager for games like Rainbow Curse and Woolly World that are 2D that I have trouble imagining I'll have this same issue with, or even Zelda which has a pretty reliable camera and barring any Twilight shenanigans should be pretty trigger-free for migraines. I know I'm not enjoying Toad to the extent it deserves to be enjoyed, and I'm a bit jealous in all candor of those who are able to. I love Toad. I may not be HolyBaikal in my Toadette fandom, but I do love Toad. Sometimes I'll turn to my wife and say "aow naow," the way Toad says when you bop on his head. (Yes, I am very lucky she loves me. Eli will usually perk up and look at me like, how did you come up with that noise? Haha.) But Toad and Yoshi and Kirby are really meaningful and enjoyable characters for me, and I want to be able to enjoy their games to the fullest.
end of book 1, beginning of book 2. I do love Fake Credits Sequences in games. That's a trope I'm always a fan of, even if it felt hilariously soon in this case.

I don't get the topic title, or why people are claiming this is what Toad says at the start of a stage. I've always heard "time for adventure" in this and the other games.
Edit: repeatedly confirmed on other websites that is what he says. Is there a region version somewhere where he says "ready for adventure"?

i'm just as confused as you, apparently most on gaf are certain he says ready for adventure.
I've tried but can't hear that at all myself, i'm 99% certain it's time for adventure.
Seems in stock to me?

Thanks! I didnt know any of it was co-op. It just looked like those games that are as fun spectating as it is playing. We'll probably just be taking turns

That's weird. The retail version gave 70 coins.

Yeah, and there only three lights, and two plus two is five, right?
The ears, they do not lie. At the start of a level, he clearly says "time". There may be other times he says ready, but I don't recall.
Super Mario 3D World, he clearly says "time for adventure":

It's definitely "time" in 3DW not so sure in Treasure Tracker though. In that trailer he almost definitely says "ready". They are very very different, try listening to them side by side.
They had this same weird thing with MK8 where they were selling them at a quick clip, and the stock would come and go as they recheck inventory and adjust orders or whatever goes on behind the scenes.
I'm pretty sure they assume they have X, when X sells out they recheck their stocks and if they find another Y, they add Y to the available orders. Over and over until they really run out of stock in all their warehouses. Same time they are also getting more copies from Nintendo based on some sort of forecasts.

Funny I found that first. Took me forever to find the first gem though!
same, lol
I very clearly hear "ready for adventure" in both of those videos.
