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.
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
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.
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.
I still play skylanders on the wii to this day, Its the console I grew up with, and the only one I have. Thankfully I'm getting a Wii U soon and will be able to finally play the game with good graphics and also be able to play the final game. Honestly, you get past the graphics after playing for a while, and if you aren't used to the hd version, it really doesn't seem that bad. However the crashing bug during the Dreamcatcher fight is simply inexcusable.
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
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.
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.
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)
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
I honestly can’t remember which version of Swap Force I was playing, but I know I played Giants Wii and Trap Team Wii U. I always liked Swap Force a decent amount regardless
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*
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
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.
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
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.
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’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 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.
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!
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.
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 RUclips NOT been telling me about??" Lo and behold.
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
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.
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.
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
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 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
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.
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
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
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
Seeing as most of my skylander games were played on the wii, it’ll be nice to see someone else experience the pain

*Siri: “Krypt Krusher”*
The quality of these videos fully weighs out the wait between them.
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.
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.
I had Trap Team and Superchargers (which I hate) on WiiU. But have imaginators on the Xbox.
I played the first 4 on Xbox 360 and then played SuperChargers and Imaginators on Wii U
Superchargers is 🔥
another advantage to Skylanders Giants on the wii is that the loads are faster, making it optimal for speedruns

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.
He returned when we needed him most
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.
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
Swap force wii was my childhood, and I'm only going to be playing the xbox version for the first time in a couple of days
The motion controls in ssa explains why the controls in ssa hd has weird controls because they intended for the game to have motion controls
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.
Finally the king uploads again
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
I remember I use to grow up with the Wii versions of these game before I switched to the Wii U fro SF and TT
And god I don’t think I will ever go back
i swear krypt just goes to old person yoga for 2 months straight after coping with having to play swap force on the wii
The return of the krypt king
Honey wake up, New chop chop daddy video just got uploaded
“I committed mass genocide” -krypt 2023
Gareth is the new best boi
skylanders is a banger series
Used to play coop with a friend on wii back then
HE'S BACK, GUYS, HE'S BACK!
did not expect this to be the way i learn that there's a mobile trap team
16:30 this was the version I grew up with and it did kill the series off bc here I am in 2024 getting it on a wii u and seeing how much I missed out 😭
Fun fact: "Gareth" appears in the end credits of trap team.
I grew up wiþ all of þese games on þe Wii, and honestly? Ignorance is Bliss and I was a idiot
YOUR BACK
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
Getting a new video here is always a great time
I still love that his voice has so many but also 0 emotions
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
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
