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.”

Skylanders SuperChargers introduces Fiesta
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 1 Comment
Fiesta has been revealed as one of the new characters in Skylanders SuperChargers.
Activision shares the following description:
Despite being undead, Fiesta had always been the life of the party. He was once the head member of a popular mariachi band in the personal court of Count Moneybone, who all undead citizens respected immensely. In his spare time, Fiesta and his bandmates played music for all of the new arrivals that entered the Underworld. However, a day came when the new arrivals were actually several Skylanders, who had come on a mission to stop Count Moneybone from unleashing a robot army on all of Skylands. Fiesta then realized that he, like so many others, had been fooled by the evil Count into thinking he was kind and generous – not the vengeful monster he truly was. Unbeknownst to the Skylanders, Fiesta and his bandmates helped to distract the robot army so they could infiltrate Moneybone’s mansion and put a stop to him. Even though the Skylanders were unaware, this act of bravery and defiance did catch the attention of Master Eon, who recruited him at once.
Like other characters in the game, Fiesta will have his own unique vehicle known as the “Crypt Crusher”.
Check out a couple of videos for Fiesta below.
