I saw somebody post a screenshot on miiverse (wii u social network) of them playing a level as kickoff countdown! Has anyone seen him yet?

Don't start a topic saying "hey I saw that there!" without posting a proof, picture, video or something. Jolly Bumble Blast just came out, Kickoff is coming next year, he's not in store.

Hackers post fake images all the time.

you have a point there. He may have been a hacker. I'll try to find him and ask him more about it.

Just asked him some questions. He claims the game is not hacked and he worked on the game and loaded his own figures in when the retail version came out. I'm not too sure about him when he says it's not hacked, but it's very hard to hack a 3DS (this was on 3DS). Another possibility is that when he says he worked on the game, he could mean he's a developer, and he loaded figures that aren't out yet. Hopefully he'll answer more questions today.

Yet another update! He is actually a developer! His name is in the credits and his profile had a few more unreleased skylander pictures (before he hid them due to spoilers)!

Whats his Nintendo Network ID?

JohnWeber. You can't see his post on his profile because he deleted it, but if you go to the 3DS communities and go to the swap force 3DS one, you can see his post with proof that he worked on the game. Scroll down more and you'll see the one with kickoff countdown (unless he completely deleted that one off the community but as of now it's not)

oops it's JonWeber

Ok, I'll report him to Activision for showing pics of stuff that shouldn't be shown yet

What does that solve?

Woooow, that's just rude, newkill. Not cool at all. He can see this, y'know?

Yet people wonder why I don't post info that isn't out yet. Go figure.

While you're at it, condemn their atrocious testing and coding on the Wii version

It was a joke, since we already know the existence of Kickoff Countdown, it is not really an issue. But if we had not known his existence until now, he could get in trouble for revealing something before the date it is supposed to be revealed.

Nah Wii version is more than fine (but let's keep on the topic of Kickoff)

^ Nothing to talk about. It's not out, and you aren't the Skylander Police

I know, and you ain't too

What am I policing in this thread, hall monitor?

Yeah looks like he must have pulled the things. By the way, dunno if you knew or not, but you can view Miiverse on the computer (and phones). Here's his profile.

And with a little science, you can also get the images (since you can't right click and copy em)



From what it looks like, he's a Level Designer for the 3DS Version of the game, specifically for 4 levels:
"In case you guys wanted to know which levels were mine. Shimmer Shard Shire, all three Undead Fiesta levels, and the final boss fight. Thanks for playing the game!"

Yep, that's the guy!
