The wait has seemed to go on for ever but the day is almost here when Skylanders Superchargers will hit high street stores.

One lucky family got to try out Skylanders Superchargers in the home ahead of its release. As you can see there are a variety of ways to purchase so it’s important to make the right choice in terms of console and characters.

They also look at the latest Skylanders Superchargers poster to see the full collection of characters coming this year. Again this is useful to ensure you buy just the characters you really need for the game and pick out pocket-money favourites.

With the increased competition in the toy-game hybrid market this year (Skylanders, Anki Overdrive, Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions) getting the toys right could make all the difference.

Perhaps the biggest challenge for Skylanders is being the oldest of these games. There is a certain amount of franchise fatigue with children who are often drawn to what’s new and shiny (this year that’s Lego Dimensions). However, the new online multi-player mode in the campaign and the online racing modes offer plenty of incentive to young players to keep playing.
