Originally tucked away as a distraction of sorts in Super Mario 3D World, the charming and more relaxed pace of the Captain Toad levels quickly became my favorite part of the entire game, and like many others, I was sure that Nintendo would spin these experimental levels into a budget, downloadable title. Yet, amidst all the action that Nintendo’s home console has to offer, I found myself liking Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker the most. and Bayonetta 2 leading the pack, and the Wii U eShop is slowly beginning to cultivate its own stable of quirky and inventive indie games.
