Pretty awesome game to advertise with Nintendo systems, Trap Team should be huge over the holidays.
That series broke the 2billion dollars of revenue btw just after the release of Swap Force so I wouldn't knock it too much.

and this is why this game is a bigger hit on Nintendo consoles than it is on other consoles

lol. Though I guess it's at least perceived to be a quality franchise.

Ehh, not really a joke (or small feat) consider just how big and profitable this franchise is amongst kids. Especially come the holidays.

Well the Wii U is the only console to have built-in NFC.

i think the series has peaked already

See? Nintendo IS for teh kiddiez!

Cool. If this model of game could be a Valkyria Chronicles RPG or a Front Mission RPG kind of game, I would be all over it.

They also show teens playing those game which is...unlikely.

Some kids even like Skylander over Pokémon (dunno how that happens), so good move for Nintendo to cover their best selling demographic!
