The cost to “Catch ‘Em All!”:
Skylanders Superchargers is in a unique place this time around because it has Nintendo specific characters. If you were to pick up everything on its release day the total cost for a Wii U owner would be around $718. This is because the only way to get Bowser or his Clown Cruiser is to purchase the Wii or 3DS starter pack.
Non-Nintendo owners get a bit of a break here and only have to pony up $615.
