anyone remember skylanders

I can never forget Skylanders.

BLINK! AND DESTROY!

I DO REMEMBER SKYLANDERS!

--ty cash grab with awesome characters, music and gameplay.. It sucks that it was just built to cash in on the kids’ love of toys.

Kaos was my entryway into finding out about Invader ZIM, though, so that’s cool!

When Skylanders came out, being older than all of you, I hated them. Strongly. It was very popular with younger crowds, but it was really controversial for others. And the reason for that was mostly because it was a new Spyro the dragon IP that differed from the series and character we had already grown to know and love since the ’90s.

And honestly? I don’t really believe that’s a valid reason to hate these games. While it did effectively replace the Spyro of old, it was quite clearly a spin-off of an otherwise dormant franchise. I still understand why it was frustrating for some of us when it debuted way back when, but the game should be judged on its own merits. I’ve never played them.

I do appreciate that they helped kick off the toys-to-life fad of the later 2010s. I wish the phenomena were still a bit more common. I love Amiibo and I wish they weren’t mostly exclusive to Super Smash Bros, Mario, and Animal Crossing with only few exceptions. Unless they’re pricey, as some amiibo/toys-to-life sadly still are, I certainly wouldn’t mind owning the Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylanders. At that point, I may as well get the game for WiiU.

idk i like it and i might complete my collection
