Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

More news coming out of Nintendo’s 1st quarter financials, it looks like Captain Toad Treasure Tracker has been delayed to January 2015 in Europe. It looks as if the North American and Japanese releases are still on track for later this year however.

Most Wii U games these days tend to cost $59.99. In the case of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, however, it might be quite a bit lower than that.

Kmart has Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker listed for $39.99. If you pre-order the game today, that’s exactly how much it would cost you.

Is this the universal price for Treasure Tracker? Only time will tell!
