Nintendo seems intent on recycling the strong first-party titles that were originally released on Wii U, bringing them to the Nintendo Switch, and it's easy to see why. Their previous console had lots of quality software, but only a fraction of the potential audience on Switch ever got to experience...

Toad has been around for a long time. From the strange pixelated shape you would encounter when reaching the castle that would tell you that the "princess is in another castle" in the original Super Mario Bros.

Charming music and visuals; Fun puzzles; Great retro call-backs; Near perfect handheld experience

A bit repetitive; In TV mode; motion controls can feel awkward; Removal of Mario 3D World levels

3.5/5: if you played the original version on the Wii U, your not missing much, my husband said that the 5 new levels were fun but not necessarily worth re buying the game for.

Captain Toad's Special Episode is cheap, cheerful and provides a bit more Captain Toad for those of you who want exactly that. You'll probably see the end in less than a day, but it's worth every penny.

The gameplay is still as fun as ever; There's some really cool level ideas; Co-op mode adds a new level of fun

You'll be done with it pretty quickly; The majority of the package is very easy; It would have been nice to have a few more new levels

Back in 2014, Toad, of Super Mario fame, starred in his very first game, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, for the Wii U. The game received very good reviews – here at COGconnected it received an 87 . Unfortunately, the Wii U was not a huge success.

Beautiful visuals; Captain Toad and Toadette are cute as ever; Fun and clever platform puzzler

Minimal new content; Tacked on two-player mode

My only real gripe about playing the 3DS Treasure Tracker is that although the smaller screens of the system prove a boon for the lower resolution, it's a bit of a double-edged sword in that some of the action is harder to see, as a result. This is especially true on a 2DS.

Treasure Tracker still feels close to unique, and gains new life on both of Nintendo's current systems. Switch is very much the better choice, but 3DS is by no means a bad option. Still smart, prettier than ever and, in retrospect, genuinely important as part of Nintendo's modern history, is a rare...

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is the latest in the line of recent ports from the Wii U to the Nintendo Switch. In many other cases, with a console so early in its life cycle, most would come under heavy scrutiny for having so many re-releases already.

Colourful; vibrant and charming visuals; Cleaver camera manipulation; Fun and addictive gameplay; Two-Player mode and Super Mario Odyssey levels; Captain Toad deserves this second chance on Switch

No Super Mario 3D World levels

It's fitting that, four years after releasing on the Wii U, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is enjoying a second life on the Switch: The majority of the game's clever puzzles revolve around shifting our sense of perspective, and isn't it a port's job to give players a chance to see an old title in a...

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is not just a good game, it's a great game. The port to the Switch was brilliantly executed, taking full advantage of the console's portability. While I could not recommend it for Switch owners more, the fact it's only $40 means you're getting a top quality game at a...
