Dark version of Donkey Kong and Bowser coming to Skylanders

Skylanders has been insanely successful as a franchise, and really is the catalyst that brought us Disney Infinity and amiibo. While most people never assumed we would see any crossover between these competitors, Nintendo and Activision surprised is and announced the contrary at E3.

The newest Skylanders game will have vehicles in it, but obviously that wasn’t enough of a change; we are also getting a Nintendo spin on things, with Donkey Kong and Bowser figures and vehicles. So, amiibo fans have two more characters to buy in a series they may – or probably may not – enjoy. Well, that is actually a lie.

For the “collect them all” crowd, there is actually FOUR new amiibo for them to collect, and it appears as if two of them are exclusive to a Skylanders bundle. Not only will we be getting a Donkey Kong and Bowser Skylanders character, but we also will be getting a DARK Donkey Kong and Bowser versions.

So the collection sage continues; in reality, the more Nintendo, Activision and Disney can put out, the more money in their pockets. It will be interesting to see if these specific crossover figures will be obsolete the second they hit store shelves. Now, not only will amiibo fans be upset, but Skylander fans as well.
