Re: Skylanders SuperChargers Racing Coming To Wii And 3DS, But Activision Won't Say Exactly What It Is

Tbh I was about to give up on Skylanders. While the characters looked cool, Superchargers' vehicle gimmick didn't amaze me all that much. And they were getting in the way cost-wise as I was more focused on amiibos. But this amiibo collaboration really rejuvenated my interest. I kept watching the showcases for this game on Nintendo Treehouse at E3 and it looks fantastic!

Re: Video: Lego Marvel's Avengers Blast Onto Wii U And 3DS With This New Trailer

I'm sorta confused when I saw the trailer though because it uses their original, colorful appearances like the original lego marvel superheroes game. But the artwork for this game uses a more detailed version of the minifigures as they appear in the Age of Ultron playsets as you see in this very article. So I'm gonna assume that's how they'll look in the Age of Ultron levels for this game.

Re: Rumour: Code Digging With amiibo Raises Potential for a Future of Pokémon Cards and Mii Fighters

I believe amiibos will push nintendo into either reviving or creating new characters and IP. Cause I honestly can't imagine them continuously making new Mario amiibos, kids will tire of it easily seeing the same characters over and over. They need to continue sparking interest with new characters. Of course they still have a LOT they can use before having to make entirely new characters. But I feel even Chibi-Robo is a sign of this. Sudden revival with a figure that could likely spark a new interest in Chibi-Robo and potentially expand the IP into a full blown franchise if kids and collectors buy up his amiibo and upcoming game.

Re: Squid Girl Collaboration Set to Invade Splatoon in August

The cameos and crossovers they could've done with other Nintendo franchises via amiibo would've been amazing. But I imagine they didn't go with that cause they want Splatoon to stand on its own two feet as a new franchise and not drive in popularity off of other franchises. But that's not to say they can't do it later down the road like Mario Kart 8. Be yourself at first, then expand with DLC and amiibo content referencing other nintendo games. There's so much they could do!
