Confirmed Glow in the Dark Cynder for Gamestation (UK) anyway, (I didn't take this picture, but I did ask permission from the guy who did before posting it here):

I don't see a GITD Portal...

Look carefully at the top of the portal which is normally white (and lights up) - it has a greenish glow/tinge to it.

So is the bottom

Quote: Nibelilt

I just realized that using the GamePad on the Wii U version as a Portal would make so much more space to fit the larger figures and that would be incredibly helpful. As an extension I believe the Wii U also has Infared which if it does and I remembered right then it may work as a separate option for a 3DS Portal as well.
With that I think we can safely say the Wii version is going to be the most unappealing and pointless this time.

I've seen a lot of people speculate the portal will be the Wii U gamepad on the Wii U version, but what nobody seems to point out is how awkward that would be to hold. Having to play the game with a figure balanced on the controller just doesn't seem practical, especially when most people hold a controller at an angle. It would also take away part of the appeal since part of the charm is placing the characters on the magical portal.

Almost final artwork of Chill. Still prototype I assume.


Drill Sergeant Prototype virtual model without color.. Lets call it WIERDS!


Really odd prototype Sprocket. What the heck is she holding??


A Swarm Virtual Model, like Drilly, but colored. The lines show what lights up on him.

Flashwing....... to me looks like gone Earth element, and personally I think sprocket looks better in yellow than white.

I actually really like the prototype Sprocket. I probably overall like the final version better, but I'd still have thought she was cool if they chose the prototype version. Maybe that cord type thing she's holding has something to do with her other attacks? It would be cool if they released the prototype Sprocket as a variant. I'd actually try and one if they did.

And frighty's concept art makes him look awfully female..

^Maybe they were originally planning for Fright Rider to be a female, even the final figure and concept designs look somewhat feminine to me.

^And even if you do remove the video, they would still give you a strike. Well the trailer was revealed accidentally by one of the people who worked on it. I suppose it wasn't supposed to be unveiled until later on in September or October.

I'll remove it, just to be safe, I'd rather not risk loosing my unlimited upload right before Giants comes out.

You might want to link the GoNintendo page that shows the trailer on the info box of the topic, bio.

Do you notice that Pop Fizzs base is the same as the Prototype Spyro?

What the heck happened to his voice? I liked it better in the "Tall Tales" trailer.

Most of the voices between the game and CG promo cartoons are different for some reason.
Maybe it cost too much to sign some VAs for multiple roles or some other legal wizardry?

More like they have different studios doing the whole thing. One studio has their own VAs doing the promos and the main game studio has their own VAs for the game itself.

I liked his voice in the Facebook demo better.

It is an attention seeking device, just ignore it. When my youngest (not yet 2) does something to get a reaction but you don't provide the reaction, he soon gives up on it and starts to mature.

The regular Wii remotes and Nunchuck have Compatability with the Wii U. So the GamePad would basically just be a Portal and the controls would stay the same.

goodness. that's some unnecessary bile. and, no, ignoring faun hasn't stopped this. faun's been here for awhile and plans to continue. if faun actually wanted attention, there are better ways to get it than a writing experiment.

as for the original question, the answer is in faun's profile. :)

^ I'm not sure why some people seem bothered by it, I find it somewhat fun and entertaining especially if it helps you think and type =). It also adds to your character and personality (in a good way of course ).

thank you very much, opalosprey. :) the vehemence with which faun's chosen writing style is met here was always surprising and mystifying. elsewhere, most people don't care or think it's fun (and a lot of people here don't seem to mind once they get used to it :)).

also, thanks for the info, zapnorris! :)

ANYHOW, how would one get this in the US? i have already pre-ordered this in TRU.
followup question: would the 3ds starter pack also have this?

Wow! If you think that is bile, then you must be incredibly sensitive. I based the opinion on psych research as well as my many years of teaching and parenting. I apologise if you found it offensive.

I am sorry to say that if you require such a device to temper your words, then I do wonder how you would function in society without it? Not to put too fine a point on it, if you did that academically, you would lose marks. Likewise, if you tried that professionally, you would find your career options limited. I hope for your sake that your EQ develops enough that you can out-grow the requirement.

Feel free to PM me if you wish further assistance as I can dig up some resources to facilitate your development, if you like. I am happy to try to help... (Caveat: Most of my texts are in storage so it may take me a little while to dig something up but I will endeavour to try my best).

Nibelilt,you seem like the smartest person here,would you know if GITD Cynder and portal be coming out in GameStop?

At this stage there has been no mention of it at GameStop.

This is a supreme bummer (yes, I can use that word) for US people - for Oz people like Nibelilt and me, we can play the UK game on our consoles. Many other parts of the world cannot.

I understand that you are not in America so can you play UK games on your console? If so, you can order it from the UK and shipping is only 5 quid, if that helps.

So, for the sake of all of the people who can't play UK games, I hope your country gets the variant pack. I foresee that it may not be GameStop (or derivative) who gets the license as they get other exclusives but, hopefully, a competitor you have access to.

wow. chaosworrier. troll, flame, counter flame, SERIOUS OFF TOPIC achieved.

i want the glowy portal. that looks awesome

I live to serve - however my credo is to give people what they need, not necessarily what they want...

Thanks!

As chaos said, there has been no mention of it coming outside of GAME whatsoever.

Concerning wether you can order it and play it... The toys and the Portal will work fine. But you would need a PAL (ordered from Europe/Australia) console to play the included game. So unless you import consoles you would need to buy two of the Game Packs to be able to use them.

But anyway to get back on-topic if the glow-in-the-dark on the portal is the base and the markings I'll pass on opening mine. I would rather have a colorful one. :3

Yes, my concern is that the glow Portal will not light up the same way the S2 standard one does and I wiill be forced to keep both for the sake of completeness. That said, right now I speculate that it will light up the same where is lights up and merely have extra "glowy" parts, as opposed to light up parts replaced by glowy parts.

Nintendo's Wii U Preview had Activision appear. Their brief video shows a bit of Skylanders Giants, including our first look of Thumpback in game.

Looks like one of his attacks is sliding along the ground with his mouth open, probably doing damage.

Link plz?

It was live, but it'll be on YT soon.

They just showed it, and they should be uploading a video of the entire conference when it's all done.

I hope it comes to YouTube soon, I wanna see thumpy do some skating.

yeah it looks great

Nintendo are usually quick when it comes to uploading their conferences, so it shouldn't be too long.

Here's Thumpback in the sizzle reel for Wii U pulling the island close and cheering. (@ about 0:40)

He looks strong.

I think all the giants are going to be pretty strong. lol

Nintendo is *supposed* to be playing the presentation in a loop but it looks like it hasn't started over again. Unless Activision or Skylanders upload the reel though, it's unlikely it'll be in a separate video, so we'll have to grab screenshots fast.

I hope thumpy gets "officially revealed" next.

Wii U version has box art and a new familiar developer

http://www.thehdroom.com/news/...-Revealed/11212

And from the GITD Cynder photo, I think I can see jet-vac's stats.

Thumpback looks great, but I wish the Wii U had a little bit different box art....

I presume that Vicarious Visions are working on porting the game to the Wii U rather than actually building a whole new version from the ground up. Still curious as to if the Wii U version will also be available in a booster pack - like, if the Portal from the Wii/PS3 version of SSA works on the Wii U.

Edit: NM, looks like it'll just be a starter pack - oh well.
