Meh, never really got the Skylanders craze so I doubt I'll buy into this. It could be a huge hit with the kids though.

Actually, Nintendo can make good games to go along with the toys, so that could be really cool. Like, imagine a RPG were you summon some nintendo character using the figurine or something like that. But I guess you are right, not that interesting to us grown ups, but the kids will love it!

Think about this - The Wonderful 102 having unlockable Nintendo characters through this platform.

I'm sure they'll make some pretty cool games, but playing a game centered around overpriced collectible toys sounds kinda weird, lol. But yeah, kids love this stuff, and if I were a decade younger I might have too.

Lol. With all due respect, but being 19 you still qualify as a kid, at least to me :P

I think this is a great idea and will earn them big time money. I just hope the figurines are of high quality, cause I don't care about the games - I just want to have Link, Samus, etc. on my desk :)

Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I guess I do for you, but then again your just a child for your parents who date you by twenty years, who are essentially children for their parents, etc.

I'm in a university, worked a job, so I guess I have enough experience to speak from a relatively mature point of view :)

That being said, this game's target audience is the age group from around 9-14 ish, which would fit my age group from around 2004-2009

You're Gonna Carry That Weight.

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

It's an uphill battle for nintendo in the west. The competition is not only entrenched it's expanding its potential base with marvel and star wars, and without the 3ds to act as a safety net for the first half year it could flounder out of the gates. Especially when you consider that skylanders and infinity don't need wii u to succeed but are still going to be competing directly with nintendo on their own hardware.

Japan is a different story, the playing field is even there as neither infinity or skylanders have been introduced there, so nintendo could carve their niche in the homeland.
