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.
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
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
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
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*
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.
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
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 actually have Spyro’s Adventures and Giants on the Wii, and I really enjoyed them even today. I wished I had the HD version of Giants since its looks better than the Wii. Thank god I got Swap Force and Trap Team on the Xbox 360, the Wii version looks so awful.
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
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.
Swap Force on Wii is probably one of the worst gaming experiences a person can have. Like half the time my Wii can't even handle the 3 frames per second on the screen and crashes half way through the level.
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.
My 2007 Wii runs trap team fine lmao but I think swap force is by far the most awful… but I have so much nostalgia for it’s bad graphics, I had no idea that swap force didn’t actually look like how it did, I just thought the games graphics were always this bad
Can’t wait for next januawii to take place in apwiil. I feel a little ashamed tho that I didn’t notice the month was incorrect until you mentioned it tho. Edit WTF HOW DID I NOT KNOW THERE WAS A WII U DOWNLOAD CODE IN MY TRAP TEAM GAME BOX THIS ENTIRE TIME I COULD HAVE REDEEMED KT BUT I MISSED MY CHANCE AND NOW THE CODE HAS EXPIRED HOW AM I THIS DUMB
The only thing you need on the PC version of SSA is a controller to connect to your PC, cuz GOD DAMN I hate the controls on the keyboard. Other than that the game looks and runs amazing with I'm pretty sure atleast 60 fps and for some reason the skylander read time is super fast compared to my ps4 supercharges and giants. All in all very good, but please use a controller.
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. 😂💛
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
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:
Sweet video kriped krusher I would personally consider the worst Skylanders game on the wii to be Skylanders trap team it’s just so ugly every Skylanders game I think on the Wii is pretty much terrible except for maybe Skylanders giants but that’s pretty much it but yeah great video
Trap team on the PS4 is probably my second favorite version of Skylanders trap team my most favorite being Skylanders trap team on the Wii U Because when you capture an enemy you get to see it on the game pad but yeah what do you mean that I don’t like Skylanders trap team no I only don’t like Skylanders trap team on the wii because it just looks so ugly but yeah I’ll personally love Skylanders trap team and it’s my favorite game in the Skylanders franchise of all time
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 UA-cam NOT been telling me about??" Lo and behold.
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.
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
The Wii Version were not that good from the Graphics but i can say like Krypt Crusher the visuals are good and that you dont have to wait by the last Chapter in Spyros adventure is much nicer and the meat was perfect.
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.
When I got the wii version of skylanders trap team I only had a Wii U so I used the download code and have used it for playing trap team on the Wii U ever since. So the download code always the main reason to get the Wii version of trap team
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.
Finally I understand why swap force never sat right with me I never understood what people meant when they said they liked swap force's graphics but now I understand I only ever played the wii version which as you said looks terrible and feels off
Ive been playing trap team for a while on the wii yesterday i realised i had a free code for it on my wii u ever since i got the game and the graphics are so much better i love old me but god im stoopid
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
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.
So, only Spyro's Adventure, Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team and Superchargers were available on Wii and not Imaginators! Well obviously since the Wii was discontinued ever since.
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
What is your plan seeing as Skylanders have basically been discontinued (since your channel is all based around Skylanders), and what do you think about the rumors of Skylanders returning by remaking the first 3 games SA, Giants, and SF but since it has also been rumored to not have figures how will that work
I don't believe the rumours in the slightest. But fortunately I don't need new skylanders games to make videos on, I've got enough content to make videos on as it is.
Trap Team is the Skylanders game I’ve got the most time on, besides Imaginators. Guess what version I ended up with. If you guessed the Wii version, you’d be right. When I first saw how much worse it looked after watching so many videos, it really did suck out a lot of the magic of watching FGTeeV play the game. Yes, I did watch FGTeeV when I was younger.
Sounds like I pulled the short straw with Swap Force and Trap Team, but I didn't really have a choice since it was the only console I had back then. The remapping of the attacks bothered me, as well as three loading in between levels and a lot of collectibles were either moved or removed entirely; I remember struggling with the strategy guide because one in three treasure chests had a section that read "If you're playing on the Wii version, this X isn't here, it's Y". Also this one is super nitpicky but I didn't like how the Arkeyans in Motleyville got entirely replaced with Greebles, it kind of blew having Knuckledusters only in the Glumshanks boss fight.
I was one of those players who had the Wii versions and at the time I never cared about the graphics, now that I have swap force on the ps4 and got the Wii copy of the game idk if I’m ever touching the Wii version again. Swap force just looks too damn good on the 4 and I don’t wanna ruin my eyes
As a kid, I played all of my skylander games (1-4) on the wii. Believe me when I say I do NOT remember swap force or trap team being as bad as they are on the system. Imagine my surprise when I boot up swap force on dolphin, and the game is blindingly bright, the audio is compressed to hell and back, and all the characters look dead.
Play Superchargers Racing. It's great.
I already had, on 3DS.
Don’t have it
It do be like dat
I thought of a 3ds theme thing u could do 3December
Superchargers racing was my first Skylanders game

A few more things you probably missed from swap force on the wii.

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.
The checkpoint thing is definitely not exclusive to the Wii version but Dino Rang crashing the game? That sounds about right.
One important difference in the spyros adventure wii is that the kaos boss fight regain his health when you almost defeat him. Makes him even harder
I just assumed that he did that in every version.
My 2007 Wii runs trap team fine lmao but I think swap force is by far the most awful… but I have so much nostalgia for it’s bad graphics, I had no idea that swap force didn’t actually look like how it did, I just thought the games graphics were always this bad

Glad to have you back!

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)

Sweet video kriped krusher I would personally consider the worst Skylanders game on the wii to be Skylanders trap team it’s just so ugly every Skylanders game I think on the Wii is pretty much terrible except for maybe Skylanders giants but that’s pretty much it but yeah great video
What about ps4 version of trap team though?
Trap team on the PS4 is probably my second favorite version of Skylanders trap team my most favorite being Skylanders trap team on the Wii U Because when you capture an enemy you get to see it on the game pad but yeah what do you mean that I don’t like Skylanders trap team no I only don’t like Skylanders trap team on the wii because it just looks so ugly but yeah I’ll personally love Skylanders trap team and it’s my favorite game in the Skylanders franchise of all time
@@DaveysWonderfulWorld yeah I can agree but then again I don’t play wii
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 UA-cam NOT been telling me about??"
Lo and behold.
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’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.
Are you furry
Now what would make you think that

Why would it matter?

HE'S BACK, GUYS, HE'S BACK!
Nah this guy is crazy he knows what raw meat runs like
That thumbnail is the most amount of attention Gulper has gotten over the years.
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
The Wii Version were not that good from the Graphics but i can say like Krypt Crusher the visuals are good and that you dont have to wait by the last Chapter in Spyros adventure is much nicer and the meat was perfect.
12:31 By the way, the Wii U version does map the tertiary attack to the c button, so, I guess vicarious visions likes to bully poor people.
ngl, I never had a console as a kid and grew up on it with wii
Perfect video to watch on my birthday(i just turned 18 58 minutes ago)
Yep...this is why swap-force was my least favorite game. I always played on the wii, and i looks and plays so bad.
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.
The best skylander guy the boss
Finally your back I checked back day after day and finally you posted after 5 months
HES BACK AND WITH SOME HEAT
When I got the wii version of skylanders trap team I only had a Wii U so I used the download code and have used it for playing trap team on the Wii U ever since. So the download code always the main reason to get the Wii version of trap team
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
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 are some of the best gates in the series I would say
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.
I've never been happier for having a wii u rather than a wii
8:32 what you havent played champlanders? Its my favorite game of all time!
I don’t remember ssf and stt looking that bad. Oh that’s right I had a Wii U and the games aren’t nearly as ugly.

Finally I understand why swap force never sat right with me
I never understood what people meant when they said they liked swap force's graphics but now I understand
I only ever played the wii version which as you said looks terrible and feels off
I honestly think wii version in swap force is worse than trap team, I know people think trap team worse but yeah
Hahaha i just played spyros Adventure with my friend on a wii 😂
Nice to see you back… again!
if possible, could you ever rank all the expansion levels? That would be cool.
I have never played it on a console that isn't Nintendo. I only got up to swap force on the wii. After that it was wii U there on out
The Return of The King!!!
Ive been playing trap team for a while on the wii yesterday i realised i had a free code for it on my wii u ever since i got the game and the graphics are so much better i love old me but god im stoopid
I used to hate swap force for years, i was a wii player, i recently got the wii u version and christ, im so sorry swap force fans
Honey wake up, New chop chop daddy video just got uploaded
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
When I played swap force on the Wii tree rex died but his death animation was t posing
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.
So, only Spyro's Adventure, Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team and Superchargers were available on Wii and not Imaginators! Well obviously since the Wii was discontinued ever since.
superchargers was barley available on the wii it's a different game
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
What is your plan seeing as Skylanders have basically been discontinued (since your channel is all based around Skylanders), and what do you think about the rumors of Skylanders returning by remaking the first 3 games SA, Giants, and SF but since it has also been rumored to not have figures how will that work
I don't believe the rumours in the slightest. But fortunately I don't need new skylanders games to make videos on, I've got enough content to make videos on as it is.
trap team on wii does have frame rate drops late game
the rokket arena + tigger happy is all that is needed to get them
17:38 look how they massacred my boy :(
Welcome back Krypt. Now "they" can return to sleep
I feel so sorry for you
Trap Team is the Skylanders game I’ve got the most time on, besides Imaginators. Guess what version I ended up with.
If you guessed the Wii version, you’d be right. When I first saw how much worse it looked after watching so many videos, it really did suck out a lot of the magic of watching FGTeeV play the game.
Yes, I did watch FGTeeV when I was younger.
The return of the krypt king
Hey when do we get new skylanders baisicly?
Sounds like I pulled the short straw with Swap Force and Trap Team, but I didn't really have a choice since it was the only console I had back then. The remapping of the attacks bothered me, as well as three loading in between levels and a lot of collectibles were either moved or removed entirely; I remember struggling with the strategy guide because one in three treasure chests had a section that read "If you're playing on the Wii version, this X isn't here, it's Y".
Also this one is super nitpicky but I didn't like how the Arkeyans in Motleyville got entirely replaced with Greebles, it kind of blew having Knuckledusters only in the Glumshanks boss fight.
I was one of those players who had the Wii versions and at the time I never cared about the graphics, now that I have swap force on the ps4 and got the Wii copy of the game idk if I’m ever touching the Wii version again. Swap force just looks too damn good on the 4 and I don’t wanna ruin my eyes
As a kid, I played all of my skylander games (1-4) on the wii. Believe me when I say I do NOT remember swap force or trap team being as bad as they are on the system. Imagine my surprise when I boot up swap force on dolphin, and the game is blindingly bright, the audio is compressed to hell and back, and all the characters look dead.
I only play skylanders on the wii
