About The Captain
You are Captain Thomas Welmu, a Spacefleet science officer, lost on the other side of the galaxy. Dark forces are en route to Earth to destroy our planet - and you are carrying the only thing that can stop them. Race back home across the galaxy. Collect new friends on your journey. Make new enemies. You won't be able to save everyone. Who will you leave behind? Which civilizations will you save - or destroy - along the way? The decisions are all up to you. You are... the Captain! Travel the Galaxy! Will you plot the shortest route home or take a detour to use an experimental new technology with a wormhole? Is a distant distress signal worth investigating or should you use your time to raise funds to upgrade your engine? It's All Up to You, Captain. Explore new worlds! Will you interfere with a pre-space civilization? Will you discover the terrible secret at a covert military base? Will you deliver a dying life-form's brain back to its people? Or use it to upgrade your ship? Engage in epic space battles! Or avoid them entirely? The galaxy is a dangerous place. Will you shower aggressive encounters with a barrage of Type 2 Vacuum Rockets? Or let them taste the wrath of your freshly polished Plasma Gun? ...or will you choose to slip by and hope nobody notices? Repair and upgrade your ship! Those pesky pirates have damaged your sweetheart. Should you go cheap and repair her yourself? Or spend the money and let the professionals do it right? Is it time to buy a brand new Shield Buster? Or perhaps a couple of convenient nuclear warheads? Collect new friends or make new enemies! Will you sacrifice a friend for the greater good? Will you rat out an undercover cop for a chance to get home quickly? Will you keep a life-changing truth from someone so they'll hang out and be your friend? A galaxy full of tough choices! Will you gain access to the vault with explosives or is there a less intrusive way? Will you figure out how to pull off an undercover heist using a new consciousness transmitter? Ever wanted to try escaping an automated maximum-security prison in space? Will you look fabulous in tight pink swimwear?

How regional eShop pricing works for The Captain
Nintendo prices The Captain independently in each of the 48 countries we track, using local currencies. Because exchange rates and regional purchasing power differ, the same digital game can cost very different amounts depending on where you buy it. To redeem the cheapest price, you typically need an eShop gift card for that region; we link to a country-specific buying guide whenever you click any row in the price table above.
All prices on this page are converted from the original local currency to your selected display currency using daily exchange rates. The regular price (struck through) shows the country's standard eShop price; the highlighted sale price is what Nintendo is charging today. Discount badges in green mark deals of 50% or more. HowLongToBeat data shows The Captain takes about 10 hours to finish the main story, which we use to estimate cost-per-hour value.
