Yeah, should be coming sometime this month if I'm not mistaken. Plus, it's $20 cheaper than Hyrule Warriors. I did like HW more than I expected to, but...it's a pretty specific kind of game, honestly.
There isn't an amiibo for Captain Toad, it'll use some other pre-existing figures. Just because a game has amiibo support doesn't mean every character it features will have an amiibo. Case in point, less than half of the characters in both Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart 8, for instance, actually have amiibo figures.
As far as recommendation goes, I guess the question I'd have to ask is if you ever played Dynasty Warriors (or Samurai Warriors), and what it is that you thought of those games. It's basically just one rather mindless hack 'n slash where you endlessly kill enemies in huge waves. It can be fun, but definitely not for everyone. I would say Captain Toad is a bit more of a safe recommendation. It's a fun, quirky little puzzle game that uses the Gamepad in a lot of fun ways. It's only one player, though, whereas HW is co-op, if that has any bearing on your decision.
Includes new courses based on Super Mario Odyssey.
