Oh..

Hey, not that I dislike Skylanders, or Spyro IN Skylanders, but will he EVER have his own game again?!

I think Spyro may be stuck with the Skylanders for awhile now.
Who knows there might be a spin off????

Yah there might be a spin off of a spin off....a reboot of just a Spyro featured game!
Confusing!!! haha

For kids 10 and under this Skylander game is probably their first Spyro experience!
So they might make a game just for him....for the old Spyro fans and the new upcoming fans.

I think you'll find from now on it will be directed to the newer younger fans now.

So the Guardians from TLoS were of the Fire, Ice, Earth and Electricity elements. Now, I'd be all over that like white on rice if the Life head was Earth and the Undead head was like...Wind or something.

But it's not, so it's kind of a stretch. Although if you want to believe, you could make some similarities with Earth and the snail..things that come out and the laser beams from Undead being electric based.

Hey now! They said they'd release a game closer to the classics if this did well, so they should be remaking the whole trilogy and have a Skylanders sequel, lol. That's how popular this was.

Cool, I have that watch but not the mag.

I got the watch from someone in a local sell/trading forum called Gumtree. I actually thought it was unofficial merchandise, wow!

Hey Is it just me or is voodood base smaller than spyro's base?

Sorry I have better things to be doing at 2am on a Friday night - namely sleep

Well my game store were doing pre-orders for wave 3 in VIC Australia so other states and countries should follow quickly before then

The consensus seems to be mid-Feb, at this stage, for Oz.

The president of Nintendo recently announced a Wii U technology is similar to Skylanders, with players would be able to use cards, toys, and even credit cards:

Sweet! Although I do hope that if they make a sequel to Skylanders they don't make it for just the Wii U.

It'll be cross-platform for sure. Cross-platform play is probably, aside from the toys, the main reason the series is as successful as it is.

A possible Skylanders sequel has a chance of being released on the Wii even once the Wii U is out, right? If not, oh well. I'm not a big enough gamer to buy an entirely new system unless it was cheap.

They didn't say that.

Nintendo is making a Wii U controller that will have the same features of Skylanders though, with players would be able to use cards, toys, and even credit cards.

Well, that idea sounds interesting.

By the way, it seems like a new Toy Fair will be made on February 12 - 15:

Do you think Activision will show Skylanders Giants there (like they did for the first Skylanders)?

That is the hope and desire that is spreading throughout the media. I would imagine, since it was done before, why not do it again? If there is a sequel, and they have some kind of merch for it, why not display it at the fair? Any kind of press is good press when it is this early in the stage of the game.

Finally, my Gamestop told me that they will get Wrecking Ball, Hex, Dino-Rang, the new Triple Pack with them and Empire of Ice (sadly, still no news for Cynder, Double Trouble, Whirlwind and Drill Sergeant), but.....on the 24th of February. I can't believe that I have to wait so long to get Wrecking Ball T_T

Oh well, with that I know that they will come out here in Italy too, so, I'm happy with this.

On the back of all single figure packs[and possibly others] it says "works with the original skylanders: spyro's adventure video game.sequel games might require different peripherals" SEQUEL HINT?

We know this since October (since the game came out)

Yeah, lots of people have been pointing that out after the games came out. It doesn't directly point to a sequel (Although that's probably inevitable) but what it DOES do that no one has really talked about is that it makes Activision not liable for future sequels to have these figures work. So when people complain when Skylanders 2 comes out "I SPENT ALL THIS MONEY ON THE FIGURES AND NOW I CAN'T USE THEM!?". Well, they did have that on the boxes since September so.

Although, I'd have my doubts about them not being able to be used though.

I doubt it too, mainly because it's financial suicide, would gut their user base, and even worse, guarantee a quick death for the entire franchise. There's no way to exclude backwards compatibility and yet still keep their fans.

Sony tried it, huge sale loss and after that, Playstation Network leakout . Nintendo isn't doing better with their Wii too.

Not that Activision is a small developer, which in fact would prolly want to upgrade the possibilities of communication portal/toy/toy/portal. The problem is, there are more sides but backward compatibility is kinda a standard lately.

Wii U is coming out soon, prolly in time for xmas this year, so no need to worry about Wii sales. Nintendo just started the "classic" line of rereleases so that's got some time before it dies.

Not sure if it could, but next tech for this kind of communication is NFC which will be in the Wii U controller. I doubt the Wii U console will go to market without a USB port, so the current portal will still work. I do not see the next set of figures being RFID though. So Nintendo will be fine so long as they market the Wii U right.

Activision will do just fine as I am sure the blizzard line of games could carry the company for a while. Activision doesn't have to worry about backwards hardware compatability so long as there are USB ports on consoles.

Wii U?

New character trailers for Cynder and Double Trouble:

It's actually interesting to see the computer-generated toys at the beginning and compare them to their final design. i.e., how DT's figure has his mouth open on his CGI toy model

I need your help, who is the best of the three drill sergant, whirlwind, or double trouble???

double trouble music trailer is the same as skylanders universe trailer

Wii U is a console and not a hand held. Nintendo added a screen to the controller so that you can play games on the console without the need for a TV.

^That's correct. The screen on the controller is for things like inventory, extra screens for games(like the maze game where one person uses the screen to hide from the others, whilst four other players are split screen on the tv trying to find them, or another game where you use the controller as a shield), but some games you can load onto the controller so you can play whilst someone else watches tv - but this requires you to be close to the console itself(kinda like the distance you can get between two dses which are communicating with each other, about 20m in an open room, less through walls)

I liked the concept of it in the demo where they put it on the floor and it displayed as it a golf tee. Then again, I wonder how long it would last with kdis doing that kind of thing?

• Skylanders Giants coming this Fall.
  
• 8 New figures, twice the size of the originals (higher price)
  
• Old figures and the Portal Of Power fully compatible.
