Regardless if they're fun(in which they are, I'll give them that)it's still a horrible and frankly insulting concept that shouldn't have been implemented.

Though I wonder if the Skymiibo will work in Nintendo versions of Sky6.

Probably. It'd be probably just as bad or hell actually even worse then VV making console exclusives.

Dragon Hunter is in the final version,but he's a Land villain. Someone did some datamining iirc and found out he was supposed to be in the story at some point, so I'm not sure TFB will be allowed to give him a proper appearance.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was set to be a villain for the Cloudbreather's Crag level, since it is about a dragon.

And instead, we got Rush Crusher. For whatever reason. But I wouldn't mind seeing this Dragon Hunter guy in later games, or who knows, maybe just the comics or something.

If you go on the toys for bob website they're looking for more characters designer etc so that's a good sign

But something like Sports could be an option, especially this game seeing stealth elf in a racing uniform, feels like a half step towards it.

But I hope they focus on battling.

But also one of the big things this year was mario maker, being able to make and share levels is a big deal and I can definayely see other games trying something similar. imagine if we could design our own battle brawl arenas by picking enemies and wave sequences and then sharing them

I'm afraid we could possibly make things even worse.

Just look at all the people wanting tons of Skymiibos, revamps and variants.
It would be great if they could rely on us for small choices but I fear the thing would get out of hand fast if they gave us too much decisional power...

Skymiibo are fine! We like seeing our favorite Nintendo characters in one of our favorite games! But something tells me Shovel and Shield Knight are next.

Sure they are!
As I said I'm just afraid things would get out of hand.
Fast.

I personally want them to come up with 20 or so new Skylanders for the sixth game.
Then they can create all the guest-stars and reposes they like.
Leaving those decisions to fans would only lead to an overflow of revamps and Skymiibos.

And that would not be a good thing.

Yeah I agree , us fans would definitely screw things up.

The only real thing at least 80% of us agree on is more content and more levels lol, which is the aspect that requires the most work and effort from developers.

I want some Guest Stars, but not exclusives. Like some said here, it is against one of the first principles of Skylanders: All toys compatible with all consoles. But, if they put some Guest Stars, but not too much, it will be good.

The problem is Nintendo won't ever allow their stuff on other consoles , but also they're the only company that really needs it. most amiibo still don't have much use besides smash bros. they really need a Disney infinite style game to make them great.

Leaving things up to fans?

HAHAHA.

But if they do decide to stupidly make more Skymiibos, at least give us an option to buy a regular starter. Like have some special starters with guest stars but let most of them have the same characters.

I can't express how ticked off I was tat I was forced to get DK over Spitfire.

There's not need to be Nintendo Guest Stars. For example: Crash can be a great Guest Star. He's of Activision, Vicarious Visions already made some games of the series, and he already made crossovers with Spyro. Besides the fact that he just fit into Skylanders, and don't need to be exclusive to any console. Just an example, but I think that you understand. there's no need to be Nintendo to be in the game.

Also, Nintendo doesn't need to put his characters in other consoles, in my opinion. Also, Amiibo are pretty useful by now, depending on the figure.

Too bad the concept seems like a success with a lot of people buying multiple starter packs. Which really helps them look good on release. They always had mildly exclusive/ unreleased characters to certain 3ds starters , in SA it was ignitor, TT had barkley etc . So it's no real surprise to extend that too the wii U

I agree , Crash would be better but it's definately not as good of a selling point. Most Kids don't really know what crash is.

Also there must be some benefit for Nintendo characters to be implemented into skylanders coz they did it. Nintendo would not have crossed over bowser and Dk unless they wanted too .

I think that Crash is something popular with kids, maybe he just needs a new game. Also, he chooses Nintendo characters because of the fact that they are very popular characters with all ages. Like, most PlayStation and XBox characters don't appellate to the kids or the general casual public, so Nintendo seems the best choice. Being a little off-topic, but this is a reason why I think Skylanders should start attracting a bigger audience than just kids. Not by the game itself, but in the marketing and things like that.

This...so much this. From the moment Nintendo first announced amiibo, I've dreamed of a Skylanders style game using them. Imagine the basic gameplay of Swap Force/Trap Team ( sans the gimicklanders ), but playing as & upgrading Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, Pit, Ness, Shulk, Lucina, Chibi-Robo and Inkling....most likely, the Pokemon Company would continue to be d-bags and not let the Pokemon amiibo work and the 3rd party amiibo are iffy but it would be SO EPIC! Plus, the levels, music & enemies could be straight from Nintendo's rich history ( a la Smash...but with more familiar enemies and less of the generic forgettable foes of Subspace Emissary & Kid Icarus Uprising )....

Side note: I noticed a few references to any potential guest character as a Skymiibo/Amiibolander...those terms are in reference to the fact that the Bowser & DK figures are hybrid TOYS, not their guest starring. Just my OCD acting up is all....

OT: As long as Sky 6 focuses on the SKylanders themselves with exploration & combat as the gameplay focus, I'll be happy....I'll be even happier if we get 90% NEW Skylanders ( IE few if any reposes ), magic items work like normal again, new adventure packs get released and old adventure pack items unlock special new stages ( that last one is almost entirely never going to happen, but I can dream )...maybe a level cap increase to 25 or 30?

Hey, I love if Nintendo make a Skylanders-style Amiibo game. Imagine if each line/franchise unlocks special zones (like Swap Zones) with special minigames based on the franchise?

The third parties would most likely allow them. Pokemon company is iffy. Imagine if they allow each franchise have atleast two amiibo! Zero! Shield Knight! Tails! Mrs.Pac-Man!

At this point they are probably disgusted at Superchargers and are preparing their "MAKE SKYLANDS GREAT AGAIN" speech as they begin to remove all the new features and make all skylanders big and slow.

I hope TfB makes the cutscenes like in TT in which we saw our Skylander beside the NPC's. I don't mean the text boxes cutscenes.
I was a little bit dissapointed that SC don't even showed our Skylander in the ingame Cutscenes like TfB did in TT.

Id like TfB to animate they're cutscenes like VV with a lot more expressive faces and fluent boncey movement.

VV did do it once, during Gadfly Glades.

Most SC cutscenes was CGI not ingame, but yes you're right.

yeah pretty much... and we get platformer and brawling back into focus.

New features like a forced gimmick (gameplay wise), uneeded revamps, console exclusives and random important collectables...?
How terrible!

Seriously, SuperChargers introduced a lot of really cool features, like character's related quests, the Wishing Well, Grizzo's daily Elemental Challenges, Portal Master powers and so on... But not everything should be kept.
Just like for any other past game, obviously.

I like the new features...something to shake it up. I need an earthquake though. As long as the gimmick has to do with the skylanders and not another piece of plastic that stops working next game, I'm good. I'm pretty much out next game if we get another wave of exclusives or one and out gimmick. I can honestly say that with a straight face, because I'm not personally getting as big of a bang that I think I should get out of these relative to cost, and I honestly think they should pay for their breach of global support and limited use of toys.

Really, I think that's mainly because some people bought one too many (myself included). A lot of Trap Team videos aside from first playthroughs don't really have trap usage. Though I will admit, playing as the villains would've been nice.

It's still an entirely removed gimmick which has been reduced to mere power-ups for vehicles.
May easily annoy a lot of players.

That obviously means I would be equally angry if vehicles get nerfed that much in Skylanders 6.
I'm not expecting Vehicle Challenges to come back but I expect them to be fully playable like they were in SuperChargers.

Well... I don't know about fully playable... But yeah, I agree. Maybe at least still give Superchargers a power boost? But I have no idea how they could incorporate them into the game unless they brought back racing.

Well, open-world would be a great excuse to make them fully playable.
You could travel the world using your Skylanders but vehicles would of course make it easier.
Imagine having true free roaming for both your characters and your vehicles (that includes free underwater swimming and free flight); those feature would make the game truly outstanding.

And yes, supercharged boosts should be mantained as well.

If Battle Mode come back, and they don't bring racing back, they can bring a Vehicle Battle mode. It is fresh and it will give something to use your vehicles and Trophies.

I'm actually more inclined to think they'd rather bring back racing than vehicle battles.
It adds more variety and can be kept as an extra mode.

Don't know if vehicle arenas could do the same but I sincerely hope they will come back as I really liked them; they are also pretty challenging.

I kind of want those Skylander challenges for Giants again. The ones you went to Cali for and gave your Skylander stat boosts.

Exactly, an open world would allow both vehicles and free flight mechanics to be used. Additionally I think an open world with the Skylands design would feel incredibly beautiful.

Each time I see one of those Skylanders cinematics showing all the floating lands I wonder how good it would look if they made it a reality.
