Holy smokes, that's an amazing power. What does level 75 get you?

I am sad you can't nickname characters plus the portal isn't backwards compatible.

I also wish there were two more tracks for each terrain. Racing the same two land tracks get boring after awhile.

Nonetheless each level is quite unique and it has loads of content. However in saying that I think the amount of content in this game is more suited to amount of figures in Trap Team.

I'll be glad to get my S1 and cores upgrade paths changed, though it kinda takes more away from the S2's+ since they don't have a unique feature anymore apart from their Wow Pow. But whatever, I was never that big a fan of reposes.

At any rate, this new power is awesome news!

A choice between the 5 of the last set of elemental bonuses you didn't already pick :/

Glitch I found.

I got 2 mods for Sea Shadow and a mod for Crypt Crusher.

I got 1 of the Sea Shadow mods during that giant Bee fight in Gadfly Glades and the other 2 for Crypt Crusher and Sea Shadow in a Sky zone. In the blueprints it says I have them but I can't equip them for some odd reason. Like they don't even show up. But it says I have them. How do i fix this?

Really? After all that trouble I'd have expected a power that lets you use all ten of them at once. I mean by then you'll have beaten everything in the game anyway, so why not just let us have all the elemental bonuses for completeness sake?

I don't see the solution @Badwolfmicheal

Actually, portal master rank now uses an EXP System; you can farm Portal Master Ranks... Stars give Large amounts of stardust (PM exp), but every time you repeat something that gives stardust, you get a lil more... So there's a good chance you'd be missing some Stars by that point... I'm maxed, and I'm missing 4 sea stars, 30 land stars, 38 Sky Stars (out of 42 btw), 54 Supercharged Challenge stars (out of 60), 27 Elemental Challenge stars (out of 30), and 10 story stars (out of 33) keep in mind, that's how many I'm MISSING... I've gotten every Bolt in Live Wire Locks though...

Amazon Italy has the new release date for Nightfall listed as January 31. Although my friend in Germany found one for me and is shipping it over....hopefully it works *fingers crossed*

Based on what I'm seeing in the US as far as Nightfall release dates, it seems like any version of her being shipped out right now is going to be one with the invalid/incorrect code written to the RFID. You should be able to play as her, but only after you allow your game to be patched. If you wait until she releases normally (which I'm sure will be much earlier than 1/31/2016, a placeholder date for certain), you should be able to have a figure that will work with the game as intended without patches. That being said, as someone who hates to wait for the new figures to come out, snag both.

Or if you're desesperate like me, make no distinction :U As long as the WiiU gets patched I don't even care if she might not be resellable in the future, at this point any will be already plenty expensive to have to deal with returns and whatnot. A dollar costs 4,20 reais for me already, and that's not bringing pounds and euros into question ;w; But if the release date is true, by the time I have spare money the market will have more working ones than with incorret code.

Wait...so they're introducing a patch AND doing RFID changes? That sounds stupid to me....in my mind you would do one or the other...where was this confirmed? Btw, my system still hasn't been patched to 1.2.1 which has the patch, although GM says Sony got it days ago. I'm on XBO.

Wow.Why cant prices all be equal????

Because the countries' economies are different. Brazil,for example, is doing screw-up after screw-up in politics and economy, so people who import pay the price because dollar isn't getting more expensive,it's the Brazilian Real that's getting too cheap :I If you guys want to have an idea of how crazy it's getting to import, a starter pack is costing 750 reais in our equivalent of Ebay - and to compare a SSA starter pack used to sell for 200-250 reais even around release.

I MEANT it when I said Portal Owner's Pack was the best change for this game by far for me. I paid as much as any other WiiU retail game for something that would've cost four times as much physical. I just hope it stays for the future, not sure if it'll sell well since any version can get Instants as long as an older portal is used.

I haven't gotten that patch yet! Its still 1.2.0!

Dang.I added up the costs....Wow.Portal owners pack must have been a godsend.

Just played thruogh the first chapter and explored the academy. I noticed that my PS3 version is on 1.2.0... so that means Nightfall wouldn't work? However, I'm going to get her anyway and just wait for the patch, I doubt it'll take long

Weird, how some peoples game wont update......

WHAT!? CMON! AND I THOUGHT I WOULD BE GETTING HER FOR CHRISTMAS. UGH!

You can ask the money for her for xmas and a small gift so you have something to open then; I did this a few years where whatever I wanted either wasn't out or got delayed by mail strikes.

Just ordered Stealth Stinger and Shark Tank of amazon, sorry if I missed in the thread but any for sure ETA on Nightfall? Gonna order her and Sea Shadow as soon as she goes up

When I downloaded the 1.2.0 patch, it gave me all the achievements I got during Story Mode.

I received a notification that the patch was available for my 360 when I was shutting it down last night. I haven't played today to check yet.

Dark posted it here.

I feel like this game has allowed me to rediscover all my old skylanders again :-)

Does anyone know why they got rid of nicknames?

Possibly because of online co-op, or too many people trading in used skylanders with swear words.

Nobody with Activision/VV/etc. has officially said that, but you can infer it from the fact that we got reports of Activision recalling wave 2 stock, then just Nightfall. Wave 2 is being released ASAP at TRU in the US tomorrow (9/26), but Nightfall is conspicuously absent despite being part of the standard wave 2 figure case pack. There's been a patch distributed (for at least the PS4 if not other systems by this point) that makes the comparative handful of Nightfall that leaked out to be recognized and work properly. That much is fact. The fact that Nightfall is scheduled to be absent from the wave 2 launch and now only shows placeholder dates for release seems to add weight, if not absolute evidence, to the idea that they've recalled the figures to swap out their RFID chips for ones that will work with the unpatched version of the game.

At this point it's all logic and guessing, but the logic, so far, holds up. If I'm wrong, you'll (hopefully, lol) hear it from me first.

Anyone want to race or co op you can pick.NNID is frugaljoker.Im on wii u

WOAH.
Ok... WOAH.
I wasn't absolutely sincerely expecting all this awesomeness.

And, mind it, I've only completed the first chapter.
I'm genuinely loving this game.
I know it's still too early to judge but... The intro, the plot, the pacing... It's all soooo good!

Just a few quick questions:
1)
2) Has anyone noticed you can use the d-pad to make the Trap Masters make funny faces just like all the SWAP Force Skylanders back in that game?
A funny little feature.

But yes, toy quality is amazing, Spitfire and Dive-Clops are lot of fun and I can't wait for tomorrow to continue my adventure!

1)


Didn't know about the d-pad thing,no, I'll try it out later.

Thanks!

Well... Not the best translation they could have made but it actually sounds cool.

I was just toying around with the controls and saw Gusto making an happy expression.
I thought it was a coincidence so I tried with another arrow (DualShock 4) and it made him angry.

Tried Bushwhack as well.
Might work on other characters too but it didn't worked on Rocky Roll, Blackout and Spotlight and neither on Dive-Clops and Spitfire.
Maybe it's a Gimmicklanders reserved feature... Didn't tried with Pop Thorn while I was playing with him, I'll experiment more tomorrow.

That was in SF. All new characters (At the time of of SF) could briefly change their expression with the d pad.

For those with the Wii U starter pack, how is TC Donkey Kong gameplay-wise? I'm curious if he's enjoyable to play as since I'm also searching for a loose Spitfire on eBay etc.

Oh, another question which just popped to my mind!

For the ones who read Rift into Overdrive:

Thanks in advance for the answer!

I know it explains the rift engines but is it the same explanation given by the game's introduction?
Don't want to know it if there is another one, jus curious because the fact the vehicles contain rift engines seems a rather bad motivation for them being part of SuperChargers' frozen forms.

Thanks in advance for the answer!

it's the work of an enemy filler!

TC Donkey Kong is crazy fun. He and Bowser both are.

I've never played a DKC game, but his moves include Barrel Cannons, (which I recognize from Smash!) a reference to the Arcade game, While his challenge requires you to collect points, Bowser's quests, (Implied based on what Buzz says before and after, since bowser doesn't actually talk) sounds like something RPG Bowser would say, and his Supercharged Challenge are references to his RPG appearances ( bit is a reference to )

The meat is also probably a reference to Bowser's Inside Story, where meat was a big deal and made him stronger.
