I remember as a child seeing the video made by Skylander Boy And Girl about Skylanders Battlecast.
Crazy to think that the most viewed Skylanders video on this platform is about their least successful game
The cool thing about Battlecast is that you can still play it in someway, since the cards even without the app can still be used to play.
But it doesn't invoke the same experience as the actual game itself
Can’t wait for a retrospective on Ring of Heroes
Thank you for bringing this back from the depths of my memory. I remember waiting ages for my parents to agree to get me a deck box The game was also a lot of fun
I never really got into Skylanders Battlecast but I always kind of wanted to I still have my only two cards to this day and I always wanted to learn how to play
Adding on to this, I think if activision made the game more compatible to the real world, I think it would have had a better and or stronger lifespan
Happy New Year
I'm glad someone finally covered these, because I had absolutely 0 knowledge going into this, other than that I had gotten some from my Superchargers Starter Pack. I kinda missed out on this one.
I regret not playing battlecast, it looks super fun. I wonder if it's possible to emulate it on pc, i would love to experience it (: great vid as always!
Hola kalfu, ojalá pudieses hacer un vídeo sobre las cartas, yo aún tengo varias
I like this little known piece of skylanders history. Thanks for the video coverage man. 👍
I was so close of finishing the story mode when it shut down. It was a blast playing against my sibling.
A few years ago, I loved playing a Skylanders mobile game but without cards idk if it is this game, it was a pvp game with a rune system
I really did enjoy this little mobile game. I actually used the old Skylanders card and see if the AR sensor detected any cards other then Battlecast card, surprisingly it did. Now it didn't reregister the Skylander but I did manage to see them in AR.
Good times.
Great video!!!! I'm surprised.... Looking back, it didn't do better???
Unfortunately not. I don’t think I ever saw the cards NOT on clearance lol
I hate that we had only one year with this Game and than got took down, Me as someone who love card games and skylanders it was the best game ever and i wish i could play it again some day
11:02
That looked like Gnasty Gnork defeated Snap Shot and Stealth Elf.
Until I noticed the eyes.
I actually played this game back then and it was fun
Its sad that it was shut down
I love your videos
I'm sure Activision saw the success of other card-based games in the market, saw the feedback for something like Skystones in Skylanders already, and figured fan traction would be enough to get the ball rolling. Unfortunately, many fans liked Skystones for how simplistic it was, similar to how tic tac toe or connect 4 work. Making it more complex makes it harder to understand, especially to Skylanders' core audience, kids. Those who did play Skylanders and were of the older demographic would have likely not cared about the cards they got because every other game also gave you cards to collect, so why would these slightly different looking ones be any different?
If there was more marketing for the game, we could have seen more traction from card game or older fans as mentioned, but it's hard to tell. Skylanders isn't nearly as massive, but Pokemon has the ability to make wacky spinoffs that seem nothing like their base games but still pull in fans from both the main series and newer fans of the existing genre, like with Pokemon Unite. I think if more marketing had been done, and the series had continued after Imaginators, we could have seen Skylanders' own spinoff series.
Waiting for someone to talk about the ios/android versions of trap team and superchargers
Superchargers was the one i played on ios and I have some great memories with it
I did remember skylanders battlecast did a promotion for the kid cuisine that they get a free battlecast card but unfortunately they only had was stealth elf no one else cause they were extremely lazy to add the other characters
We need Skylanders Battlecast and Ring of Heroes back!
Toys for bob is like 🤨 my idea
I have a suspicion that this guy owns a heartbreaker buckshot but never shows it off because he doesn't want to get sued by tfb
The mobile game was kinda fun. Wish I had the physical cards.
i have a custom skylanders idea, it might be basic but i wanna see it, reverse the elements of Knight Light and Knight Mare
Hey is there actually a skylander store because I saw that video and I want to know if there is a skylander store
I miss this game lol
Does the app still work?
Can you make a custom of evolved blaster-tron if you still take requests
Skylanders is on ttl toys for bob we’re only one who knew what they were doing
Can you still play this game 2024?
no
Cool concept, awful execution
Activision greed
