Well he was annoying. He would never stop talking after you beat the game.

Battlecast is now on the App Store if anyone was wondering!~

I used the pause menu to go to arenas all the time :/

For those still wondering on Astroblast's backstory, here it is from the strategy guide -

Just came back from TRU, and talked to my employee friend. She said there was a Legendary Deep Dive Gill Grunt Racing Pack coming out on the first of next month, and showed me the list. Sure enough, there it was.


EDIT: Also, weren't we told by some news article when the Skymiibos were announced that if they were put in a non Nintendo platform game, a "funny message" will come up? If any one with a Playstation/Xbox has skymiibos, could you please try putting them on?

>A just announced variant gets released before a legendary we already know.

Just because we knew L-Astroblasts exists, doesn't mean he'll come out before L-Gill Grunt, >.>

But Gill Grunt already has 7-8ish figures.

If there was a L-GIll Grunt and a L-Reef Ripper they would be on the poster from TRU. But their not. So that probably means its fake

What does the number of versions a character has have to do with their release date?..
Sorry if I picked an argument that didn't need to start :S

You didn't but Luminous35 may be right.

So does anyone else think the board is a bit calm for day 1?

I was just thinking that

Guess what?

Heroic Quests are back, kinda! Buzz gives each Skylander 3 unique quests, granted you have the Skylander and the vehicle, and both get stat boosts as you complete them! Hooray!

It is calm because almost everyone is playing the game now.

For those who have the game and have beaten the 8th level (not chapter),

Do we have any idea of a fast-ish way to make money?

How do I switch to off-tv on the title screen? I don't have a tv by me at the moment. I wanna view the first cutscene but I'm afraid to go past the difficulty screen in fear of the game starting up. Help please!

Ok, I'm back from my initial rush through SC.

Can anyone tell me why VV decided to do hallucinogens?(post world 4 cutscene spoiler,I'm not past that so if someone wants to answer please specify that)



And Bionichute, World 4 wasn't the taste I wanted, but awesome nonetheless - reminds me of Darksiders and other works from Joe Madureira, especially the boss. Still hoping for a more vanilla elemental theme in the future.

But I'm still super whut over the cutscene right after. Can't play more until tomorrow.

Ok, so I have changed my mind from my last post.

Both the Wii and PS4 games desparately need you to change the controls from the default. The default in both games is horrendous.

On the Wii side, I am still disappointed you have to play the old "tilt the Wiimote!" charade like it's 2006, but I can live with it.

On the PS4 side, my only complaint is when you're driving in the arena areas where the camera isn't directly behind your character. Not sure if it's just me or what, but steering in those arena areas is wonky AF. For example, in any other racing game, if you hold the stick to the left what happens? Your car drives in counter-clockwise circles. Not here. Here, you do a 180 and then the car assumes it knows better than you and starts ignoring you and driving straight. What's that about?

So, I'm not "hugely disappointed" like I said earlier today. My expectations and hopes definitely have taken a reality check though. Looks pretty likely Swap Force will remain my favorite game in the franchise.

@AzureStarline Im with you on SF being my favorite game. SSC is amazing, but is lacking what SF had.

Are you making sure you're not holding down the right trigger during the open arena areas? You only need to hold the trigger during the linear sections. Just move the joystick like you are moving a regular Skylander.

I'm trying. It just seems so wonky and unusual. Maybe I'll take a video to see if it's just me or what.

Loved SSF, the swapping tops and bottoms, so innovative.

Hey, I don't know. It's not like they had them in the back and pulled one out or anything (like they did for Light/Dark packs last year, which I was also doubted on when I said the release date.) The employee just said it, and showed me the list. But I did find it kinda weird that it wasn't on the poster.

Not sure where to post this, but why weren't there any stickers in the Dark Edition for Wii U?

Also, I received TWO Gill Grunt stickers in my Sea Action Pack. Please don't tell me one of them was meant to be the Sea Trophy sticker...

I think one of them was meant for the Reef Ripper.

I got it. I got three stickers total. 2 Gill Grunt, 1 Reef Ripper. Did I just get an extra Gill Grunt, or did it unfortunately replace the Sea Trophy sticker...

Quote: Bionichute

Bifrost is not gonna like level 4.

Does it involve Mags and a certain tool?

I thought the same thing lol.

Hey Bitfrost

Don't worry, you guys just got lucky. There is no sea trophy sticker.

Tree Rex's Tree Fist slam has great range again!

Since I'm not particularly interested/excited for the starter characters, vehicle and uninspired portal, decided I'm just gonna wait to buy the game disc only. Probably find it "preplayed" pretty quick from those who bought starters just for characters. Put the money towards what I actually want.

Plus the TT portal is so much cooler and in-tune with the series.

Quote: GaiaMemories

Hey Bitfrost

Reveal Spoiler

were the bone chompies in world 4?

Not Bifrost, but I can answer that one.

I have 2 questions:

1. I got the Wii U Dark Starter today and I looked in every part of that box and I can't seem to find the skylanders' individual cards anywhere. If anyone else got the same pack can you tell me where exactly in the box you found them to be located please? Because I remember in previous years they would be taped to the plastic behind the portal or something but there wasn't anything like that with this box.

2. How do you nickname skylanders in game? There doesn't seem to be an option to do it..

Nicknames are gone?! WHYYY?! It appears magic items that came with adventure packs like healing elixir only unlock legendary treasures too. I'm only a little ways through the game (level 3) and so far it seems like they're trying to take as much away from combat as possible outside of vehicles. Here's hoping it gets better later

1. They are gone, idk whats going on but it seems no starters have them included. Single packs have stickers but no cards. Has to do with their new card game but the starter not having the stickers seems like an oversight....much like nightfall.

2. They removed it

Supposedly some people have gotten stickers. I just waiting on the proof

Can anyone confirm there is not pvp?

What do people mean when saying there aren't any purely on-foot modes?

I found some images of Instant Spitfire and Instant Hot Streak here: https://store.xbox.com/en-US/X...89-2ccf88fe90fd

i hear people say the controls are bad, is there actually no way to turn of the tilt on the wiiu controls for the gamepad?

Quote: CountMoneyBone

I questioned some day ago if there motion control in superchargers, tilting is motion control. So there is motion control thank you guys!

Wow, Instant Spitfire actually looks really cool...

Although, I can only find control overviews where the nunchuck stick is used for steering, rather than tilting the Wiimote. It's possible that the game supports sideways Wiimote without nunchuck, but I can't find any sources to support that.

I'm not sure if anybody else already asked this question and there are so many posts recently that it'll take hours to find the specific one, but does the Wii U version of this game allow Donkey Kong and Bowser to add two additional quests or not? I'm just curious.

I'm feeling that VV is making some bad changes in compatibility. The Magic Items just unlock Legendary Treasures, the Nicknames are gone (but I understand the reason for this). I remember from the time of Giants, were the compatibility is just perfect. In Swap Force, the Adventure Packs don't unlock stages, but the game still good in compatibility.

Should I just try playing with other controllers? The control screen makes no mention of nunchuks that I saw.

Can someone please tell me, are there any new variants, or not? That's everything I want to know.
