This morning, during Nintendo’s Digital Event, it was revealed that not only is the next Skylanders game, Skylanders Superchargers, coming to Wii, Wii U and 3DS, but there will be some special guests unique to the Nintendo versions. For the first time ever, Nintendo characters are becoming Skylanders as Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser make their debuts.
In Skylanders SuperChargers, the evil Kaos has unleashed The Darkness to take control of Skylands. Fortunately, a special team of Skylanders known as the SuperChargers has been assembled to pilot an incredible fleet of vehicles with the power to travel through the destruction – over land, sea, and sky! But with Skylands on the verge of collapse, the Skylanders have reached out across all dimensions to call for reinforcements. Answering the call is the most unexpected duo – Donkey Kong and Bowser! Using their own elite vehicles to magically travel between worlds, they have joined the epic battle against Kaos and The Darkness!
Pairing a Supercharger Skylander with its signature vehicle will enhance their abilities in-game. Donkey Kong and Bowser will come with their own vehicles, the Barrel Blaster and the Clown Cruiser. You’ll be able to modify the vehicles in the game and apply upgrades as you find them.
There’s more — they’re two in one! By turning a dial at the bottom of the Donkey Kong and Bowser figures, you can change them into amiibo! One setting transfers them into the Skylanders games, and the other activates amiibo bonuses on all Wii U games that have them.
Skylanders Superchargers launches for Wii, Wii U and 3DS on September 20, 2015, along with the Donkey Kong and Bowser figures. The Skylanders Wii U Starter Pack’s suggested retail price is $74.99 and includes Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and his signature vehicle, Barrel Blaster. The Skylanders Wii and 3DS Starter Packs’ suggested retail prices are $74.99 and $64.99, respectively, and include Hammer Slam Bowser and his signature vehicle, Clown Cruiser.
