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.
Activision confirms no Call of Duty: Black Ops III for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 61 Comments
Activision has officially said that Call of Duty: Black Ops III won’t be on Wii U. Although the game is now confirmed to be for both last-gen and current-gen hardware, Nintendo’s console won’t be included as one of the platforms receiving the new shooter.
A notice on Activision’s blog states: “it should be noted that there’s no version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for Nintendo Wii U planned.”
Even though there was some small talk about the possibility of Call of Duty: Black Ops III coming to Wii U, I suppose we shouldn’t be shocked by this. Advanced Warfare didn’t land on the console, so I suppose Activision is setting a new precedent.
Guitar Hero Live playable at E3 2015
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Activision has announced one of its games set to appear at this year’s E3. Thus far, we know that Guitar Hero Live will be playable.
Jamie Jackson, Creative Director and Co-Head of FreeStyleGames, said in a statement:
“We’ve been working super hard on Guitar Hero Live for years, so we’re so stoked to show people more of the game every chance we get and to give fans a chance to play it themselves – that’s why we’re bringing Guitar Hero Live to E3 and letting you get hands on. Five years is a long time. Not only has technology changed, but we’ve had years to think about what makes Guitar Hero so much fun to play and also to talk to fans about what they loved most about the original game. We’ve developed an awesome new experience built from the ground up and we are integrating new technology and techniques that just weren’t possible back then. GHTV is a huge part of that and comes with a bunch of new songs, of which we’ll announce more next week. See you at E3!”
E3 2015 runs from June 16 to June 18.

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.
