    This is the best and only version of Skylanders Superchargers you should be playing. First, is the fact that you can play OFF SCREEN IN HD!!!!! Oh my oh my. It is so great! Dad can be watching the big football game on the big screen, and the kids can be sitting right next to you playing skylanders on the handheld.

    Also, the graphics are better on this version than they are for the PS4    This is the best and only version of Skylanders Superchargers you should be playing. First, is the fact that you can play OFF SCREEN IN HD!!!!! Oh my oh my. It is so great! Dad can be watching the big football game on the big screen, and the kids can be sitting right next to you playing skylanders on the handheld.

    Also, the graphics are better on this version than they are for the PS4 or the Xbox One. I have the distinct feeling that this game was made for the Wii U and then ported to the other systems, because the graphics are no better on the other systems. Also, the gameplay feels tighter on the Wii U version. But the cool thing is also the touchscreen on the gamepad. It allows players to quickly and easily update their characters on the handheld screen.

    All this takes an 8 or a 9 game and makes it an easy 10. Moreover, you get two exclusive skylanders with the Nintendo version -- donkey kong and bowser! These awesome characters are arguably some of the coolest skylanders in the game. They also double as amiibo for other Nintendo games.

    The Wii U version is the ONLY way to go.    … Expand

    I have avoided the Skylanders craze, but I fell victim to the Amiibo craze which ultimately brought me here. The Nintendo exclusive Donkey Kong & Bowser Skymiibo's are wonderfully designed and seeing them come alive for the first time in this game was a real treat. The graphics aren't as polished as the PS4 & Xbox One but the gameplay and frame rate remain true.

The Mario Kart style gameplay is an absolute blast and is challenging enough for veteran players, yet forgiving enough for the young & casual crowd. Overall, the addition of DK & Bowser along with Barrel Blaster & Clown Cruiser vehicles and additional racing options make this the superior version to own. If you are a fan of Mario Kart or Diddy Kong racing or you have yet to play a Skylanders game, this is the time to give it a spin! You won't be disappointed!… Expand

    The methodology of the game is oustanding! I really like the way you can play the race!
    Great Game with lots of fun! It has more options and with the donkey kong character, it gives a really different environment to the game!

    The graphics are a little grainy compared to the phenominal visuals of XOne and PS4, but there are few more menu options in the racing scenarios. I have no idea why they are unique to this version and players of the other platforms should be demandinug the option to race the villains in single races and heroes in the circuits, but this is really a minor bonus.

    Even thought the Metacritic scores claim this one is better, PS4 and XOne are the way to go as far as just looking phenominal. Get this if you HAVE to get the Amiibos, stick with the newer machines if you want the cleanest best look.    … Expand

    Why don't my Disney Infinity or Lego Dimension figures work with this? I expected better from Activision. It's 2015, you guys. Hopefully next time you'll pick up more on diversity. Other than that, I guess it's OK.

    Got this game for my birthday and it is very interesting and neat. Though many people think this is one of the worst, I think it's one of the best Skylander games.

    Skylanders SuperChargers is the best in the series yet and proves that LEGO Dimensions and Disney Infinity still have a yardstick to reach.

    Activision keeps coming up with new ideas to keep Skylanders fresh, and SuperChargers is no different. [Issue #18 – November/December 2015, p.62]

    The latest chapter in the Skylanders series shows that this name still has a lot to offer. The amount of content and the adding of vehicles, as well as the presence of guest stars Donkey Kong and Bowser make this yet another significant entry in the series.
