Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker | Wii-U

Pretty much all Nintendo first party games on Wii U.

Few screenshots from the first 15 or so levels:

My Amazon order arrived today, thankfully. Only done 10 levels so far, but it is very pleasant indeed.

I loved the minecart section in book two. It's easily one of the best uses of the GamePad ever.

First pre-order of mine to turn up late, only a day. Still would rather it not turn up late at all though.

Same, it's annoying. =(

I've just finished first book with all gems / bonus objective cleared

There's speedrun to do, but I'll wait till I've done all levels before attempting speedrun though some of times are pretty crazy :dread:

With most of the time challenges you literally have a 1 second leeway to strawberry float up :lol:

I did half the first book and was like nah strawberry float this.

Book 2, page 7, 'Sliding Slab Shuffle' is a completely sneaky bastard - spent hours trying to solve the bonus puzzle - only just completed it. Arrrghhh!!!!!!!

I remember that I couldn't find the gem on this first time. That was a really well hidden door.

Not that one! It's having to complete the course in four touches. Completely bamboozled me.

Still nothing, they're beyond hopeless.

finished the first two chapters to 100% now, wonderful game :wub:

Just had to phone up and give Amazon an earful, turns out despite being absolutely promised that delivery will definitely happen today and that I won't be waiting around for nothing and that the nonstop fuckup that is their Prime service will actually work today, they didn't even bother trying to deliver it.

I'm not so annoyed at not being able to play the game but rather that this a service I strawberry floating pay for. Best they could offer me was a month extra free, was just about all I could do to stop myself from telling them to shove it up their arse.

This strawberry floating saga rolls on for another day.

Don't worry Herbi. I'm sure your better at Mario Kart than them.

Glad that's help cheer you up.

You realise that Prime isn't a single delivery company thing right? They'll send your parcel out with any one of a number of companies (granted one of which is their own Amazon Logistics), who they presumably have contracts with that promise delivery by whatever time they've promised their customer.

I understand at the end of the day that its Amazon you are paying for Prime and that they should take responsibility for it, but you might be better served taking note of the delivery company involved and give them a portion of the blame, at the end of the day if they are failing Amazon its them that's at fault (and granted it should be up to Amazon to do something about it).

Part of the reason I say this is because I'm on Prime and my copy of Captain Toad was sent by untracked Royal Mail delivery and got here a day late presumably to do with the timing and it being sent out over the new year. Prior to this only once have I had a delivery not turn up, it was a similar situation to you and I got an extra month of Prime out of it. As long as its not a regular occurrence I think you've just got to accept that every once in a while a parcel will not turn up on time and accept that getting a month more of the service is probably the best Amazon can do.

I would bet that half the time, the delivery driver can't find your flat and just thinks strawberry float it.

Edit: It's a strawberry floating watch for the missus No Treasure Tracker today.

It's kinda funny that you posted about receiving this before actually opening the parcel.

And if the parcel contained a watch, wasn't it quite a different shape and size to the standard dimensions for a game or DVD?

It was an irregular shaped box and seemed pretty reasonable that a game could have been in it going by Amazon's standards.

Turned up Saturday though, what a lovely (and stunning) game. Not that far in mind, just started Chapter #2.

My review from last week - http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/captain-toad-t ... em-1481244

This game has entered the all-formats top 40 at number 16. Not sure if this is good or bad in a notoriously slow week for new releases. It's also not clear whether the early sales it acquired from around December 19 have counted towards this total, or been missed off. Either way, I would guess the total number is 10,000 max. However, it's doing really well in Japan.
