Rumor: Skylanders SuperChargers dev hints at amiibo support
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 9 Comments
During the latest episode of The Giant Beastcast, Giant Bomb co-founder Jeff Gerstman spoke about a conversation he had with the Skylanders SuperChargers development team. Gerstman asked one of the game’s staffers about the possibility of amiibo support. While this person said that Activision and Vicarious Visions are focusing on what they’re showing at the event, he also said: “We’ll have a big surprise at E3.”
That’s an interesting response for sure. Does it mean that Skylanders SuperChargers will make use of amiibo? Only time will tell! Fortunately E3 is just on the horizon.
