PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Skylanders is “mixing it up” with the newest game in the award-winning, top-selling franchise. Skylanders SWAP Force builds upon the success of the franchise’s signature gameplay and collectible toy experience and adds a dimension to the “toys to life” innovation. The game introduces an all-new play pattern — dynamic swapability — that lets gamers reconfigure 16 SWAP Force inter-action figures into more than 250
unique characters by swapping the top and bottom halves of the toys. Now, Portal Masters can mix and match characters’ powers and moves and experience an unprecedented level choice than ever before seen in a Skylanders game. Fans also can play Skylanders SWAP Force with their entire collection of characters from Skylanders Spyro’s AdventureTM and Skylanders GiantsTM.

Skylanders SWAP Force features new abilities – such as flying, climbing, digging, bouncing, or teleporting – which can be used in previously unexplored areas of Skylands centered on these play mechanics. Additionally, the game features 16 new standard figures, eight new LightCore™ characters and 16 new versions of fan favorite Skylanders from previous games. Now kids will have more than 100 characters from which to choose. The game’s high-resolution graphics brings detailed characters and richer environments to life, immersing players in the game like never before.

If you’ve been itching for a way to play your emulated games on PC with a proper controller, the Wii U Gamepad might just be your cup of tea, courtesy of Kotaku reader “Chris”. Chris says the software should work on most PCs and right now allows you to map all of the buttons on the Gamepad to wherever they need to be, and in the future he wants to allow you to stream your emulator games to the Wii U Gamepad, as well as enable touchscreen support. Here’s the video:

Nintendo teamed up with Ubisoft in Europe to launch a ZombiU Wii U bundle, but NOA decided not to follow the same path. Now, however, one retailer is listing a similar product… for Canada.

Located on Best Buy’s site here is a new “Limited Edition” Wii U 32GB ZombiU Deluxe Set. Pricing is set at $399.99, and a February 17 release date is listed.

It’d be nice if Nintendo made this bundle available throughout North America!

Believe it or not, we’ve already been given a first look at Bayonetta 2.

Nintendo produced a new behind-the-scenes video for its Nintendo Direct presentation in January, and showed a very brief snippet of a monster at the end. That one second of footage was produced in real-time, according to director Yusuke Hashimoto.

Hashimoto tweeted a few days ago:

“The monster that appears at the end of the Bayonetta 2 ‘making-of’ video is done in real-time on the Wii U (the first in-game footage?).”

Hashimoto later tweeted that the developer video’s music is one of the new songs included and Bayonetta 2.

Last but not least, producer Atsushi Inaba also confirmed on Twitter that a ROM check on Bayonetta 2 has been completed. Good news, I suppose!
