Me too, but that soft spot for me is pretty small. It was my first Skylanders game, and I was expecting it to look at least similar to the trailers, but NOOOO it was so much worse in every way. There was a point where it was a 50/50 chance it would even start up, and I had multiple crashes during gameplay. I want to retry swap force on my Series X, but I haven't gotten around to buying the Xbox version.
Same!! All that I knew was the Wii version of Swap Force. Still my favorite game of the franchise. Glad somebody can experience the pain that I do every time I want to play Swap Force
I can’t say it’s not a mess, but it’s bad enough that I can’t enjoy it. The graphics are passible, and if I have the patience to farm the elemental treasure room in Giants then I can handle a little loading screen.
The moving platforms in Spyro adventure are probably hidden loading screens, same for the unskipable video sequences. Game devs love to hide loading sequences behind videos and very small spaces where you can't do or move alot, that need very low processing power. This is especially useful if you don't have time to optimize a game (e.g. due to only 2 months to port a game) and therefore have huge loading times bc of hd graphics.
No it’s not, if you use programs where you can move freely around the map you can see that the whole map gets loaded in, idk what the deal with those weird elevators is, but it’s not a loading screen.
@@PrimalKevYT okay, that's extremely weird. Maybe just a dev who got drunk on a long night and bc he was so mad for the short timeline he just put it in to f with people xD. Or they try to load all assets in a particular order(because the Wii version does it that way due to the low res) and with that, more powerful systems can load the map completely. However, due to CPU, GPU and RAM constraints they needed to add those platforms in, because they noticed performance issues on some systems. So it could be more of an afterthought added in to tackle performance issues. Because (and I may be in the wrong here) I don't think anyone who uses an emulator, to move around freely on the map, would constrain the game to e.g. the 512MB of RAM a Xbox 360 had
being a skylander gamer that used the wii for a long time, i can safely say that playing on the wii is still an absolute blast because of the nostalgia and fun of the bad graphics lol. i luv your videos mr. krypt
It's great to have you back for a long time, Krypt Krusher. My brother and I used to play SSA, Giants and even the best Skylanders game on Wii. I have strong nostalgia towards the Wii version of SSA but when I replayed it few months ago, I have to admit it hasn't aged well. While I do consider the Wii version as the best out of the console versions, the 3DS version is the definitive version of SSA, for me. It's bizarre how I fell in love with Swap Force on Wii. Must be due to how my brother and I thought the game looked cool back in early 2014. Nowadays, I don't want to play that disaster on Wii anymore. I want to play Swap Force on PS3. At least I still have the 3DS version of Swap Force. Swap Force is love, Swap Force is life. Unlike with the previous games, I didn't play Trap Team on Wii because my brother and I decided to stop playing together. Instead, I played Trap Team on 3DS. But I did play Kaos' Doom Challenges because my brother asked me to do so. Basically, I had the worst experience with Trap Team.
Yeah, I played most of my Skylanders games on the Wii so I was seriously confused when the graphics on my game looked so different then the gameplay I saw online. But hey, it is what it is, still enjoyed playing the games in spite of the poor graphics and frame rate.
8:13 I actually like it when pre-boss levels are shorter so that way I can easily get to the boss fight without a slog of a long level whenever I wanna fight a boss
I only played the first 3 Skylanders games on Wii, so I had no idea what I was missing lol. Ended up skipping Trap Team and was blown away by Superchargers on Wii U.
A few more things you probably missed from swap force on the wii. When you’re still progressing through the Story of swap force, the mid point loading screen actually acts as a check point, so you can take a break from playing the very long levels(again this is only when you play the level for the first time. Once you beat it, the midpoint won’t act as a check point anymore) Another thing, Wrecking Ball and Nightshift are ridiculously OP. Every time Wrecking ball uses his tongue Attack, the game acts as if it each push of the button was actually 5 pushes. So he hits 5 times harder than he should and it’s pretty funny to watch him destroy everything in his path. Night Shift, or at least his bottom path, is also OP because each of his extra lives brings him back to full health when used. So whatever swapper uses his bottom path will have over 2000 HP. If you play battle mode with multiple lives on, he gets an additional 3 lives for every extra life you have it set to. One more thing I found out recently from experience, in the level where you gotta save the tree spirit, if you use Dinorang’s circular boomerang move the Game crashes. That’s about it. It’s the only version of swap force I got and it’s the first Skylanders game I’ve ever played.
11:47 ah yes my introduction to the Skylanders series (I thought it looked beyond SS tier when I was younger but now I can see it’s painfully awful looking). To this day I still don’t have any other console version but it’s still my favorite game of the series somehow 😭✊ *i want that beautiful PS4 version but it’s overpriced*
Having tried nearly every Wii version, I recently decided to buy a Wii U (So I could continue using use Bowser & Donkey Kong) And the improvements are fantastic, It's a sort of best of both worlds as you still have the options to use the Wiimote & Nunchuck if you grew up on them and like that or use the gamepad/classic controller which I think is great. When I got back into Skylanders, I decided to get Imaginators for Switch and when I got the Wii U, I got the Wii U version too and it's so much better on there. I'm glad the Wii didn't get an imaginators, I can only imagine the struggles. They might've done a stripped version like the switch, which looking back made no sense seeing as it's more powerful. P.S. Why does FebruaWii sound kinda good though haha
18:22 one difference I’ve definitely seen from watching videos of the other consoles in comparison, the shockwaves all were pretty flat, the jumping is laggier on the Wii, the summoning screen when you put a figure on the portal is more likely to glitch on the Wii, and the Wii versions of the female doom raider fights always have a 50% chance of crashing the game
As someone who used to play the games a ton on the Wii, I didn’t mind it. Since I had no standards to compare it to. I didn’t have any other consoles. So the games worked fine for me. But now that I have played Superchargers/Imaginators on Wii U, and Swap Force-Imaginators on PS5. The Wii version is absolutely abysmal. And I don’t know how I lived with it.
Great video, really enjoyed it. As good as Skylanders on the Wii is, mainly the first 2 games. The Wii was never meant to be powerful. They had to sacrifice power and graphics to fit this motion control in, so basically they just overclocked a Gamecube, this is supported by the fact the Wii can read Gamecube ISOs, if you use the homebrew channel on models that do not support it. You may argue that the XBOX 360 has Kinect and the PS3 has Playstation move, both of these have motion control. These were released later as separate accessories. Also the functions of Wiiconnect24 was also one of the factors why the Wii team had to weaken the console. The console had the ability to always be online. This included functions such as the forecast and news channel as well as the more fun functions like the Mii contest channel and Everybody votes. As well as this, although slightly later Japan got a few extra channels such as the food channel and Wii No ma (streaming service). The Wii was basically meant to be a console for the casuals, a trend Nintendo continues to this day with consoles like the Wii U and Nintendo Switch both being much weaker than their competition. Not only does Nintendo make casual consoles but they have some kind of gimmick for example the Wii had motion contro, the Wii U had the gamepad with the stylus as well as motion controls and the Switch can Switch. These gimmicks mean Nintendo has to underpower their consoles. I hope this tells you why Skylanders on the Wii was crap
10:10 only the Wii version of Giants can reset the creation crystals though, which the other console versions of it can’t (except I thiiink the 3DS version)
i love watching your videos a lot and the first skylanders games that i remember that i finished when i was a kid are spyro's adventure, giants and swapforce.
As someone who had them all on Wii and eventually bought a Wii U to play on Superchargers, I did not enjoy Swap Force and Trap Team as much as I should have done. Have just discovered this channel and I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed Skylanders
when i was a kid, skylanders giants was my first game. i loved it as a kid. me and my brother always did versus and did coop. we had a long time with getting past the ship highjack level before Drill X. i still feel super nostalgic for this franchise. can deffinately reccomend this series for people
I recently decided to play skylanders again after years and years, i chose to play trap team on dolphin since i dont have my figures anymore and wanted to try some new skylanders i never got to play with. Honestly other than the jump feature (i only played the first and second games as a kid) it seemed about exactly how i remembered it on the 360, the game itself with how often you had to constantly swap skylanders to get secrets honestly annoyed me 100x more than the graphics or compressed audio lmao.
Personally spyros adventure is my favourite game in the series. I mean I can’t play as some of my favourite Skylanders (tree Rex, Blast Zone, Astroblast) but Spyros adventure has a lot of my favourite levels and it’s just a really good vibe. (Just my thing that’s all lol) Happy Febuwii. 😂💛
I’m so shocked that when I was a kid I still thoroughly enjoyed Swap Force on the Wii. Also, I always felt like something was wrong with Trap Team. It’s because I played it on the Wii.
I grew up on the Wii version of Swap Force and Trap Team and never knew that there was such a big difference in graphics and level design until this video and now I want to buy the Xbox one version for my series x so I can see what I missed and experience the better parts of the game.
I remember playing swap force on the wii and I grew up thinking it was the worst game until I re-played it on the Xbox a few years later. Now it’s one of my favourite Skylanders games
@@kryptkrusher You should do a sky landers bullock challenge where when a sky lander dies, they stay dead for the entirety of the game, but on nightmare difficulty. It'd really cool to see how you try to beat it!
when i was a kid i got swap force wii for my birthday, and i thought it was a bad game. then, on christmas, we got an xbox 360, and i got a new copy of the game for it. it was actually mindblowing seeing everything in the cloudbreak isles clearly. for a long time it was my least favorite game in the series because of the bad taste the wii version left in my mouth
10 years ago, on Christmas day, I got Skylanders Swap Force on Wii. I didn't mind the graphics at the time (nowadays they are hilarious) and I became a fan of the series. Now, I have every game on a Nintendo console besides from SSA JP and SSCR on Wii, alongside a version of every Skylander (theonly ones I have as both their variants and the NFC cards are Chompy Mage and Double Dare Trigger Happy.
I remember that the helicopter level in giants on my wii at least was so difficult that I couldn’t pass it. I had a friend in town who was great at sky landers visit and he finally beat the level for me. Also it took like 5 tries to beat dream catcher without the game crashing
Wanna know something else about wii seap force? Remember the great tech gates of motleyville and phantasm forest? Because they are gone. That's right, they removed both of of them for no reason and they are probabaly not the only ones
They also removed the magic gate in mudwater hollow and water gate in twisty tunnels, they also moved some zones, like the sneak zone is near the undead gate.
to summarize the video; Spyros Adventure: the Wii version is technically the superior version but it's still up to preference. (HD version has slight differences) Giants: the HD version is basically just an updated port of the Wii verion which makes it superior but the original is still very playable with almost no differences aside from graphics and frame rate (Wii is 30fps while HD is 60fps) Swap Force and Trap Team: The Wii version is a downgraded port of the HD game and is VASTLY inferior in every way, you can easily find a used copy of the HD versions for under $15 (take note for Xbox versions, you need a specific Xbox portal as they are not universal like Wii, WiiU, PS3, and PS4 portals) Superchargers: completely different game that has no relation to the original game whatsoever, probably for the better (3DS version is probably better since you wouldn't need the portal and the Skylanders bucket nearby 24/7) Imaginators:
I played the first 4 on Wii when I was younger and I never had any problems with them. Now that I own them all on Wii U (except SSA), I don’t think I can go back to the Wii versions.
i missed it, it wont work anymore because the wii u eshop shut down, i could have played it on the superior device for my replay im doing but i was a few months too late, i didnt download it in time, its so over
6:18 its a rain fish, in skylander trap team in the level rainfish riviera i think its called, mags tells us how she was swallowed by one and we go in its mouth at the end of the level.
I actually played all the skylanders games in the Wii until I got a Wii U, back then I was too young to even notice the bad graphics, but I’ve started a replay of the HD version of spyros adventure cause I played it for the first time 12 years ago and damn it feels good! Especially using modern day controllers on it, but I had no clue they made Wii U and a PC/Mac disk port! I wonder how good it runs
I asked myself, "Hey, given that my subscription feed is currently drowned out by a bunch of short-term low-effort garbage at the moment, I wonder what kind of thought-out, actually-well-made and actually-worth-watching+thought-provoking content has TH-cam NOT been telling me about??" Lo and behold.
I 100% trap team and Spyro's Adventure on the Wii. The Wii disc for Giants won't read, and Swap Force on the Wii was the first game I played in the Skylanders series. I bought the WiiU version of every game, except Japanese SSA, and the switch version of Imaginators, and 100% them as well. (I bought RO-BOW and Wild Storm at times when they were not as expensive as an arm and a leg).
I played every single Skylanders game on the Wii (with the exception of Imaginators) and oh boy, it's pretty tough to get through (my game crashed twice when I was fighting Dreamcatcher and Golden Queen in hard mode in Trap Team)
The Wii versions have always interested me, everything I played past Giants on was on Wii U yet I knew that there was a whole experience on the weaker hardware
You forgott that in Spyros Adventure only for Wii the Final Boss Kaos is regenerating all his HP after you defeatet all his evil Skylanders. That makes this fight way harder (and longer)

The checkpoint thing is definitely not exclusive to the Wii version but Dino Rang crashing the game? That sounds about right.
another advantage to Skylanders Giants on the wii is that the loads are faster, making it optimal for speedruns

I’m surprised there was no mention of dreamcatcher or the contents of the mystery box of doom being able to consistently crash trap team on the wii
Im glad i have the wiiu version of swap force and i had loads of fun with that game so im kinda thankfull
to summarize the video;
Spyros Adventure: the Wii version is technically the superior version but it's still up to preference. (HD version has slight differences)
Giants: the HD version is basically just an updated port of the Wii verion which makes it superior but the original is still very playable with almost no differences aside from graphics and frame rate (Wii is 30fps while HD is 60fps)
Swap Force and Trap Team: The Wii version is a downgraded port of the HD game and is VASTLY inferior in every way, you can easily find a used copy of the HD versions for under $15 (take note for Xbox versions, you need a specific Xbox portal as they are not universal like Wii, WiiU, PS3, and PS4 portals)
Superchargers: completely different game that has no relation to the original game whatsoever, probably for the better (3DS version is probably better since you wouldn't need the portal and the Skylanders bucket nearby 24/7)
Imaginators:
I played the first 4 on Wii when I was younger and I never had any problems with them. Now that I own them all on Wii U (except SSA), I don’t think I can go back to the Wii versions.
Bob's very kind download code is the only reason I'm still playing trap team tbh
i missed it, it wont work anymore because the wii u eshop shut down, i could have played it on the superior device for my replay im doing but i was a few months too late, i didnt download it in time, its so over
Gareth is the new best boi
6:18 its a rain fish, in skylander trap team in the level rainfish riviera i think its called, mags tells us how she was swallowed by one and we go in its mouth at the end of the level.
did not expect this to be the way i learn that there's a mobile trap team
Babe wake up Krypt Krusher just posted
Hey man if you need video ideas you should make one on worst soul gems
Skylanders trap team on the Wii looks like a fever dream
I have only ever played Skylanders on the Wii, it was some of the most fun I've ever had
I actually played all the skylanders games in the Wii until I got a Wii U, back then I was too young to even notice the bad graphics, but I’ve started a replay of the HD version of spyros adventure cause I played it for the first time 12 years ago and damn it feels good! Especially using modern day controllers on it, but I had no clue they made Wii U and a PC/Mac disk port! I wonder how good it runs
I noticed the graphics on said Franchise and Cars 2:The Video Game when I was young. I do the Xbox port of Cars 2 on my Series X
My favorite Skylanders game is Skylanders swap force, and the only version I always played was on the Wii. Now that’s saying something
I asked myself, "Hey, given that my subscription feed is currently drowned out by a bunch of short-term low-effort garbage at the moment, I wonder what kind of thought-out, actually-well-made and actually-worth-watching+thought-provoking content has TH-cam NOT been telling me about??"
Lo and behold.
I 100% trap team and Spyro's Adventure on the Wii. The Wii disc for Giants won't read, and Swap Force on the Wii was the first game I played in the Skylanders series. I bought the WiiU version of every game, except Japanese SSA, and the switch version of Imaginators, and 100% them as well. (I bought RO-BOW and Wild Storm at times when they were not as expensive as an arm and a leg).
I played every single Skylanders game on the Wii (with the exception of Imaginators) and oh boy, it's pretty tough to get through (my game crashed twice when I was fighting Dreamcatcher and Golden Queen in hard mode in Trap Team)
Yeah I played the first four games on the wii. They are one of my best childhood memories.
The Wii versions have always interested me, everything I played past Giants on was on Wii U yet I knew that there was a whole experience on the weaker hardware
You forgott that in Spyros Adventure only for Wii the Final Boss Kaos is regenerating all his HP after you defeatet all his evil Skylanders. That makes this fight way harder (and longer)
Fun fact, in Trap Team for the Wii, there's a bug where the Dreamcatcher level will crash your game if you don't complete it in under fifteen minutes.
Just needed to hear “Committed genecide” and I’m
Now a sub😂
I like the cuteness
