Activision is sweetening the pot for people who purchase Skylanders Trap Team on Wii, offering a free downloadable code for the toys-to-life game on Wii U as part of the package.
The official Skylanders Twitter account revealed the deal earlier this week, pushing people to pre-order the Wii version. "Get Skylanders Trap Team for Wii and receive a free code to download the game on Wii U!"
Possibly the most surprising aspect of this Nintendo-specific promotion is the fact that Activision hasn't made any of its Wii U games available on the eShop thus far. IGN has reached out to Activision about whether this signals a shift in the company's strategy on the Wii U eShop.
The Skylanders franchise has become a juggernaut in the video game industry, selling over 175 million toys. But before that happened, Nintendo actually had a chance to partner with Activision on the series. The Big N passed, however, and the rest is history.
