NotStan said: It's a stupid game IMO, and my brother is going ape shit over it too, but I think your approach to the kids is a bit.. Lacksture, IMO they should have the priority as they are children, if you didn't want that, should have brought a 3ds like I did for my brother so he doesn't hog my 360 with that crap, but if I didn't buy 3ds he would probably camp my room. I really do not understand what's so amazing about this game, I really don't. But I guess it's like Pokemon for this generation, albeit unnecessary and in most cases probably more expensive, Pokemon still exists after all. Edit, my bad didn't read that he already has a 3ds and a wii, that's a bit spoilt, but unfortunately the little fuckers have priority, just the way of life. Luckily I don't have a 360 skylanders lul.

Yeah, he also has the first skylanders for the wii also, I was going to get him a WiiU, but since I've seen the pokemon x and y trailer I think I might get him that instead, it looks to be a really good game, I think he has a pokemon ds game but don't think it's one of the better pokemon games

If you're going for that strategy, might as well suffer a little more until the games come out! You can hold out right? Nintendo fans learnt how to be patient... lol X'D

Just wait a little while longer, find some way to get rid of skylanders without them knowing it was you, and give him the new Pokemon for the 3DS. he'll be all over it, should solve your problems.

What is it that drives little kids wild? My kids are wild about pokemon though, but I grew up with them, so I understand that. It's fun for a couple of play throughs, but it's expensive, it also freezes the WiiU a lot, if you don't press home button every so often the home button stops working, but yeah looks like ones going to come out every year with a new set of characters. I would return the Wii U if a game kept making it freeze. Either that or the game.

The problem is the game, not the console...

It has happened after my boyfriend has particularly long play sessions...

He said he wanted it for his nephew, and yet he plays it more than anyone...

I convinced him to get Animal Crossing, so I think he will be playing it much less from now on...

Giants is fun, but kind of shallow...

He's excited for the new one...

Oh we play together on skylanders lol I've been playing it with him since January, I've been trying to get him outside I bought him a basketball net last summer, but can't seem to get him into sports that much, he will play for about five minutes them likes to sit down and watch me play instead lol

MegaDrive08 said: When I get home from work "can we play skylanders"?

No.

Problem solved.

 

Ok JK

Buy another WiiU or simply let them play, you are a grown man, and if something small like this bothers you, I wonder why in the world would anyone choose you as their partner... Yes, I'm a monster when I play skylanders with him and have bought him skylanders myself lol

If you dont like spending time with him now, you wont like it later... Im telling this from my personal experience

Is there a release date for x and y? The last pokemon game I played was on the gameboy, I nearly bought a gameboy back then Because of it, also tetris.

Why don't you just get him Skylander's Giants for Wii? Then he can play it on some other TV when your on the WiiU? Hopefully the save files are transferable.

Were did I state I did'nt like playing with him? I'm fed up of playing skylanders, I bought sega all-stars racing transformed but he won't play that as he finds the controls to hard, and to call me a monster when you don't even know me is a little harsh, maybe the post came across in the wrong way, It was a rant about skylanders and his gran buying him skylanders every couple of weeks, I like playing multiplayer, beats playing alone, but playing skylanders giants for six months straight doing the same levels.
