Andrew and I took an epic trip down to New York City today. We were invited to a Skylanders SuperChargers Playdate and we were provided with the tickets for the train ride down and back from the PR firm for Skylanders. I have worked with those folks for the past 5 years on Skylanders and Promoting Skylanders. I am under no obligation to write about the trip but I want to tell you about what a SuperCharged day it was. Oh and the Skylanders Shirt that I have is mine that I made through a review I did a long time ago. I’ve never gotten a Skylanders Shirt that fits me.
We took the 6:50am train out of Providence and headed to New York. Andrew was up early again and I got up right before my alarm and nearly bowled him over int he hallway. He was exited. “Are we going to New York Today,” he asked. Yes, indeed we were. He was great on the train. He played games on the iPad, colored and ate lots of snacks. Three of his favorite things.

In one week Skylanders SuperChargers will be released and there will be 8 of the exisiting characters who will get the SuperCharged treatment. They are Gill Grunt, Roller Brawl, Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Jet Vac, Trigger Happy, Pop Fizz and Terrafin. Each of these characters will have a totally redesigned look and be paired with an incredible vehicle. They will be joined by 10 other SuperChargers and if you are on the Wii U, Nintendo 3Ds or Wii there are two additional Guest Star SuperChargers, Bowzer and Donkey Kong. With all of those we get to 20 characters and 20 vehicles but I am still wondering if there will be two more since the Nintendo characters are only for Nintendo and shouldn’t count for the announced 20 characters and 20 vehicles since people on the other platforms can’t use those characters.
I also learned the other day that Skylanders SuperChargers will be coming to Apple TV. You can get the fll sotry on the Activision blog but I’m pretty excited to see how this will play out. I have the previous iPad portal and so I should be able to play the game after download.
