Captain Toad on Wii U.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a strong port on Switch and even 3DS

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is the latest Wii U game to get a port to Switch. But, surprisingly, it also coming to the 3DS. Both versions release on July 13.

The Wii U game launched in 2014. Digital Foundry, a YouTube channel that analyzes the technical aspects of games, has looked at both the Switch and 3DS ports. You can watch the video above. They found some improved visuals on the Switch, but the channel was also surprised by how well Captain Toad runs on the aging 3DS.
