It’s a worn-out cliche these days to say that a game is “perfect for the Switch,” but that really does apply to Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which will become the latest Wii U transplant to arrive on the Switch this week.

It's still July, so the amount of new releases is still at a trickle. But we've got an interesting week nonetheless: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker drops at the end, finally making its way from the Wii U, while JRPG fans will be satiated with Octopath Traveller.

If you'd like something more grim, how about a Warhammer 40,000 4X? Xbox users can just get stuck into Skaven directly with Warhammer Vermintide 2, and those who prefer a more pedestrian style of gameplay ... well, there's always a new Cricket Captain.

Here's a game with probably the weirdest release date of all-time. Captain Toad came out in the first week of 2015. With almost zero promotion. I had actually forgotten all about it. Who's been playing it? Is it worth checking out?

Did You Know Gaming's latest look at Mario explores the strange history of a pair of games that died before they could truly live -- the pricey Phillips CD-i travelogue Mario Takes America and the volleyball/wrestling/game show mash-up Super Mario Spikers.

In a year full of multiplayer Mario Karts and Smash Bros, those of us who prefer Nintendo creations meant to be played solo finally have something new to enjoy. Well, it's mostly something "new".

There's a new treasure hunter in town, and his name is Captain Toad.

Recently released in Japan, Captain Toad is a cute little Super Mario 3D World spin-off about collecting coins, gems, and stars while on your way to defeat a giant bird. ...Either that or it's a tale of greed, robbery, and mass murder on a grand scale.

Have you ever wondered what the deal is with Toad and Toadette? You know what I mean. As in, where do little baby Toads come from? Or are you too caught up in how cute the two of them are? Hey, I can't blame you if that's the case.

Yesterday, Super Mario 3D World spin-off title Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker hit store shelves in Japan. That leaves just one question. Who's up for joining me for some puzzle-platforming action?

Last week in my review, I described Tomodachi Life as "a bizarre, alternate universe where everybody had giant heads and spoke in ghostly robotic warbles". If that's not weird enough as it is (and it's already pretty weird), imagine a veritable chorus of Nintendo developers chirping and prancing about in Mii form to hawk their latest games.

Nintendo's a company that's made its fortunes on Mario, a character with incredible jumping abilities. But, in the newest spin-off from the Super Mario series, you control a character with no hops whatsoever. Turns out that's a good thing.
