Skylanders Trap Team to include free Wii to Wii U digital upgrade

Activision are looking to help entice Wii owners across to Wii U, having unexpectedly announced a digital incentive for Skylanders Trap Team.

As confirmed by the official Skylanders Game Twitter account, those that buy the Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack for Wii will receive a free code that will allow them to download the game through the Nintendo eShop on Wii U.

The Starter Pack itself contains a copy of the game, the new Traptanium Portal, new Skylanders characters Snap Shot and Food Fight, two traps, a character collector poster, sticker sheets and trading cards.

Activision also recently lifted the lid on a special Dark Edition and the returning Eon’s Elite characters.

Skylanders Trap Team will launch for Wii U and Wii across North America on October 5th and Europe on October 10th.
