Skylanders Trap Team for Wii Includes Digital Copy of Wii U Version

Skylanders Trap Team for the Wii will come with a free download code for the Wii U version of the game, Activision has announced via the official Skylanders Twitter account.

If you’re going to buy the game before you’re able to get a Wii U, buying the Wii version will allow you to upgrade to the Wii U version later for free. The Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack for Wii, which costs $75, comes with a Traptanium Portal, two Skylanders figures, and two traps. These components that are essential to Skylanders’ Toys-to-Life experience will work with the Wii U as well, so all you’ll have to do is download the game.
