Thanks to listings on Amazon
, this year’s Skylanders entry has been confirmed as “Skylanders SuperChargers”. Recent rumors had suggested that the game would indeed be given that title.
Along with the final name, Amazon also reveals the first Skylanders SuperChargers details. First, check out the overview below:
Skylands is in peril! Kaos has unleashed his most evil weapon yet – the Doomstation of Ultimate Doomstruction. With all of Skylands on the verge of collapse, a special team called the SuperChargers has been assembled to pilot an unstoppable fleet of incredible vehicles. Now you and the SuperChargers must embark on epic adventures over land, under sea, and through the sky to stop Kaos and save Skylands!
The Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Pack will come with a copy of the game, new Portal of Power, two Skylanders SuperChargers, one Skylanders Vehicle, and collection poster.
Activision has not yet unveiled Skylanders SuperChargers, but an announcement should be imminent.

Splatoon allows for motion control in Battle Dojo with a special code and unique setup (second player)
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
Splatoon features a 1-on-1 local multiplayer mode called “Battle Dojo”. One player handles the GamePad, while the other uses a Wii U Pro Controller, Classic Controller, or Classic Controller Pro.
As it turns out, the second player can actually enable a motion control setup thanks to a special input. With the unique code, that person can use a Wiimote with the Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro to turn on motion controls.
As outlined by Nintendo in a Tumblr update:
One of our scientists has made a rather stunning discovery! From early reports, it appears to be a means of adding motion control to the controller of the player playing on the TV screen in Battle Dojo. On the controller selection screen for Battle Dojo, press and hold down on the +Control Pad, press and hold B, and then press ZR and ZL.
It seems a Wii Remote Plus is necessary to perform this incredible feat. This technique also appears to be possible when using a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro! When using a Wii U Pro Controller, first press ZL and ZR to select that as your controller, and then press the 2 Button on the Wii Remote Plus to activate it.
