And we get our first look at the Cutthroat Carnival!

The official skylanders youtube channel has posted the HD trailer.

Well, there you go - a Portal for Wii U. Hopefully no more arguments on NFC versus RFID.

That means nothing. All it means is that they chose to use a Wii U portal - not necessarily that they couldn't.

^
Yay!

Now, let's cross our fingers for Thumpback and Fright Rider gameplay!

I also like Fright Rider and I'll be getting a perfect one of the Skylander

Nintendo Network logo on the Wii U boxart....

Every Wii U game has network capabilities. Not necessarily online play, but you can create and share tags whilst in game that pop-up on your friends games. For example, I could write a tag that says "Secret location here, use a Giant to enter!" and publish it. Anyone on my friends list who was playing Giants with the feature turned on would see the tag and know about the information that I've shared.

It's a nice little system

Wow, it's a very nice online system from Nintendo!

Thank you for the explanation! =D

*We only need Pop Fizz's, Flashwing's, Sprocket's, Fright Rider's, Hot Dog's, Hot Head's, Ninjini's, Eye-Brawl's and Thumpback's trailers, please give them early, please give them early*

Semi Unrelated: Skylanders: Cloud Patrol for Kindle Tablets released!

Sadly, no Gold Box in the corner for me..

Wonder how Activision will think of an excuse for taking down the previous uploads of the trailer on youtube and giving users there strikes, before they 'officially' revealed it?

Fright Rider

Looks like Fright Rider is to be on the 270/540/690 path for health.

ShaneG.

That level must be Cutthroat Carnival!

^thats what im thinking by the carnival like troll head at the begining

Not sure if this has been asked/answered yet: Anyone know if Boomer will see any kind of re-release?

No, Boomer won't get a repose.

Nintendo are moderating every message posted as well, so we won't get a bunch of the "NUB HAXOR" kids and the haters posting rubbish everywhere either

just spreading a rumor here but some guy on here said that after the last wave is released they`ll do reposes

Nor will Boomer get a Light-Core Version

I have to say,I thought Fright Rider would have made the best lightcore Skylander,just imagine the eyes of his bird and the tip of his spear glowing.I.HATE.HEX.

Yeah. I'd say Fright Rider instead of Hex, and Whirlwind instead of Jet-Vac.

cool :0

I'll put close ups laterz

awesome!
I wonder if this game will have choices in levels like classic spyro, as in you can choose between two levels, to play I doubt it because of footage already seen, but you never know.

It's unlikely, but that would be awesome!

I'm disappointed in you. Really, I am.

^This. The battle packs are COMPLETELY replacing Adventure packs.

I just received a message that my preorders for Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz are due to come BEFORE the game is released!

Though, the seller is from UK, and says he is getting a shippment from US.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your disappointment?

YAY FOR EARLY POP FIZZ

Oh and Jet-Vac too.

I'm jealous. Too bad you'll need to wait to use them. Take pics!

I really hope that in the next game they just make it clear which Special Pack they're going to use. Seriously.
IMO, they should have just kept Adventure Packs. Like I've said several times, they already gave an Arena.

Matteomax might get the figs the same time the game is released here in Oz? Don't forget we will also be the first to try the new exclusive Golden Dragonfire Cannon battlepack.

Technically he would get them first as we are ten hours ahead. Provided he's awake and receives them.

The news from that video is very, very old.

The clip mentioning the adventure packs is also, very old.

It was confirmed ages ago that battle packs would be replacing the adventure packs.

We've seen a list of all the levels and there were no new adventure packs.

I am disappointed that kappapopm even considered posting the video, for those very reasons.

I see your point but it was still a useful summary in most regards.

Wow Thanks so much, now we now some cathphases!!

Chill: Stay cool!
Pop Fizz: The motion of the potion!
Hot Dog: See spot burn!
Sprocket: The fix is in!
Fright Rider: Fear the spear!
Jet Vac: Hawk and awe!
Shroombom: He shoots, he spores!
Flashwing: Blinded by the light!

Tree Rex: Be afraid of the bark!
Bouncer: Deal with the wheel!
Crusher: It's crush hour!
Thumpback: Hail to the whale!
Swarm: Bring the sting!
Hot Head: Hey! I'm on fire!
Ninjini: Any last whishes?
Eye Brawl: I've got my eye on you!

^Hot Head's catchphrase is actually "Hey! I'm on Fire!", quite stupid IMO

Sorry bout that. That part of the poster was kinda blurry

Still it has been confirmed that there are no new Adventure Packs in Giants. And Kappa tried to pass the video off (with no actual proof of his claim within the video) as confirmation that there are 'new Adventure Packs' when it's been confirmed that there are none.

^No worries, the poster is A1 size and I may have missed taking a better snap of Hot Head

I'm disappointed in both Hot Head and Hot Dog's catchphrase. Neither sound particularly interesting or funny.

I'm also disappointed in Flashwing's catchphrase. I can't see any puns in it, and it's not catchy at all. In fact, of all the catchphrases I can think of, I only like Hot Dog's less.
