Man I got a lot of characters with bad paint jobs and bad molds...Bowser had plaswtic on his nose *regular* and my Dark Bowser's ship almost looks melted on the back of one of the wings. Gill Grunt looks like there was something 'stuck' to the top of his helmet that someone 'pulled off' too.

Oh, so they actually did name him Grill-X. Heh.

Yeah, I had to sift through at least ten different Wii U starter packs and ten different 3DS starter packs to find a DK and Bowser that didn't look like turd.

I wonder if we will ever see a day when mass produced toys don't look utterly horrible compared to the beautiful 3D models they advertise to us.

Hm, it seems the 'emotional moment' is setting up already.

Why would you have the obvious betrayal set up, and the hub being overcast, after all?

You need a trap master to play trap team

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.

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

Do you have a nunchuck plugged in? Wii (and Wii U) games usually have adaptive control screens and button prompts that change depending on what you have plugged in, so if you're only using the Wiimote, that would explain why it's absent.

Malicedoll79 playing with nunchuck (control overview at 5:57)

A: Accelerate
Stick: Steer
B: Afterburner/Drift/Stunt
C: Spin/Jump/Dive
Z: Attack
+: Pause Menu

Out of curiosity, what are the button assignments in the sideways Wiimote control scheme?

Ok, I plugged in a nunchuck and that does work. Much better IMO.

As for the sideways Wiimote scheme, it's pretty basic. Tilt to turn (or rise/lower for Air races). Button 2 to accelerate. B underneath for boost, but at the expense of much slower turning capacity.

Classic controller works too.

That section is supposed to be a maze. Keep going until you find the singular blockage, it takes awhile, but there are tons of secrets.

Has it been confirmed that all Wii U Dark Edition's didn't come with stickers? If so, how in the world are we to get them for the posters?

The starter pack characters are actually pre-filled in for you on the poster, so no stickers needed.

Interesting, looks like the 3DS version run on an entirely new engine. That could be very good for future 3DS Skylander games.

Spoiler level names,guys :I

Even more concepts~

Gosh, I love it when VV releases their concept art. Here's hoping for more.

Some awesome new themes for boss fights. SPOILERS WARNING

Went back to TRU, and my employee friend said they read that list wrong. They just saw racing pack, and assumed it was the GG pack, because it is the only one out by now.


Well, that explains why there's no L GG on the poster >.>

So question about Battle Brawl Island. Are there ever different match ups? I repeated it one time and noticed that the potions changed but not the bosses. (amazing fight by the way). This might be the answer to the Arena if the fights change. Is there a place in the Academy where you can enter the Brawl? I've gone back in from the map section in the main menu that seems to just repeat the chapter. It was awesome though.

Took me a while to find good paint apps. Sifted through about 7 Sea Shadows and not one looked good, so I passed.

BTW, personally I think the original Dive Clops concept was much cooler! Still love him, but the floating fish was really cool.

Has anyone tried the off story modes like arena and kaos doom challenge (if any)?

Am I the only one that can't find any good on-foot gameplay in this game?
Cause it hasn't gotten any better since Level one (Im on level 9)

I think the on-foot gameplay is more prevalent than vehicle sections, and is pretty good.

By watching video of a level I have found a way to level up very fast.

BATTLEBRAWL ISLAND. MY GOD

Someone at Twitter got the game from Activision for review, and got almost all of Wave 1 and some from Wave 2. The only news here is Burn-Cycle:


Also, one question, I saw at GameStop Website that Frightful Fiesta is available FIRST at GameStop, not ONLY. This means that he will be released at other stores?

Yes, according to my employee friend, it should hit TRU on the 27th (in the US)

So a word to the wise. I was just at Gamestop and they informed me that they had a P.C. version of Super Chargers on pre-order for 10-25-05. It shows up in their system as P.C. and registers on the receipt as P.C., however on your pre-order screen for your account history it's the f'ing ipad version. I'm so mad right now. It's their item code 113210 064/00 . Be warned.

Finished the story mode(so if you guys trying to invite me to co-op didn't understand me turning invitations down,that is why). Good game. Not what I WANT 100%, but it's definately surprisingly amazing.

High praise, no doubt. I can't wait to dive back in tonight. So what about the Battle Brawl Island? Does the match up ever change and is there another way to enter other than the map?

Great, though with oversights. As I said in another thread,wouldn't have hurt to have some NPC at the hub to tell you the things Rift into Overdrive does,but the narrative is soooo good. The characters as well are explored really well, especially Kaos. David got everything right on that regard.

On Battlebrawl Island,don't know,only went through once. Was rushing through the game since I won't even do much other than online until I can get more figures.

on that Skystone, Bionichute...

I opened my normal Wii U pack. Must resist the temptation to play the game...

Oh yeah,one more thing. Let's pretend



never happened. It'll be for the better.

So, Tessa's quests basically function as arena stuff. She sent me back to Battlebrawl Island, and I fought some new enemies there.

If the crazy elf yelled "SPOILER ALERT!" when she talked about the Malefor Skystone,could this mean he's on next game? Kaos would be on track to stop him in no time,doing that Evil Counseling thing as planned.

Well, one Mabu in SSF mentioned Swappers having "SuperCharged" powers, and with the comics directly influencing the games, who knows? lol

Not to mention VV wrote the series into a corner again, so this would be a better way to go about next game without having to do a Rift into Overdrive case again.

Man,if TFB does a game on par with this and with THAT... Then we might start getting on track with competing with the other AAA games with quality of story and gameplay at once.I just hope they keep the combat for once,it's so enjoyable now.

It also ties into that Boss Pursuit:

Tag these spoilers Badwolfmichael, Discussion thread.

TFB is good with the lore,but they dropped the ball a bit on TT and David picked it back up amazingly. Hopefully Paul Reiche won't take the game's gimmick as an insult or something and actually attempt to exchange notes.

If it has been said before I apologize, but I learned that even non digital players can use Instan Skylanders.

Well, I suggested it might, I don't know if it was confirmed by someone with physical copies.

But yay,everyone can enjoy Barium Spitfire and Cheddar Hot Streak :3

Awesome, it's nice to have that little feature for everyone,

Plug in an older portal, STT and before, wait a few seconds and an option to play as Instant Skylanders appear
Or, that's what I've been told

Theres 3 new variants, Power Blue Splat, Power Blue Splatter Splasher and Power Blue Gold Rusher. Also some type of SPECIAL Nightfall. Probably a chase variant.

Source?

Check the Nightfall faulty chip thread. Someone hacked.

Our local forum lurker and Skylanders hacker, matteo, posted some hacked images in the Nightfall topic.
