Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylanders can only be obtained via the new Starter Packs for now
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 13 Comments
For now at least, Activision doesn’t have plans to sell the Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylanders as separate figures. The only way to obtain them is by purchasing the Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Packs. The Wii U version comes with Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and the Barrel Blaster, while the 3DS and Wii editions feature Hammer Smash Bowser and the Clown Cruiser.
Game Informer asked Activision about the possibility of selling the Bowser and Donkey Kong figures. In response, a representative said:
“At this time, Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser will be sold via the Nintendo starter packs only, as we wanted to avoid having consumers confused at retail thinking that they are playable on other platforms, as they are exclusive to Nintendo platforms.”

Miyamoto says Star Fox 2 won’t release, Star Fox Zero started out as prototype on Wii
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 7 Comments
This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…
On Star Fox 2 possibly releasing…
“I think it’s ok for Star Fox 2 to just remain a memory. I think the things I wanted to achieve in Star Fox 2 I’m doing in this game.”
On Star Fox Zero’s Wii origins…
“I work very closely with the programmer of Star Fox 64. Basically, every time we get new hardware, we do a Star Fox prototype. This Star Fox started out being based on a prototype we created for the Wii. We took that prototype and thought about what we could do with it. We came back and just said that this should be a Star Fox game.”
