My in-laws have returned to Florida and I am back in my office. I’ve got a few things to catch up on but will get them posted as soon as I can. I also picked up something for myself, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD for the Wii U. I had a gift card from Best Buy from opening a Samsung Pay account with my new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone. There were many gift cards to choose from but this one was the one I wanted. I picked this game because, even though it was one of my very first Wii games I wanted to play it all the way through in HD and have the Wolf Link amiibo. Having the game amiibo enabled is going to add something to the game. Apparently not only does the Wolf Link figure work but the Link, Zelda, Toon Link and Sheik figures work in the game.
I also picked up a few other things like a Skylanders Battlecast Ultimate Starter Pack which came with two starter packs, 9 booster packs and a case for holding the cards. I opened them up and got a whole bunch of great ones. More in the video below.
You can finally do something with the Spitfire and Stealth Elf cards that you got in your Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Packs. Skylanders Battlecast has launched and it is a lot of fun. I received some cards to unbox and review. Opinions are 100% my own.
Battlecast has many aspects to it. You can scan in cards, buy cards as well and then play those cards in the story mode as well as the vs mode. In each mode you create a powerful deck of character cards, spell cards, gear cards or relic cards. You can up to three characters in play at one time and can swap between them. You can also use spell cards which include element themed spells, generic spells or character specific spells. Gear can also be themed by element or character and relic cards work for the whole team. Here is a look at the unboxing and the cards as well as an example of gameplay. Afterwards you can read a full press release about the game.
