Nintendo and Activision have revealed a new Skylanders Swap Force Wii U bundle for the holidays. This new bundle will go on sale beginning November 15 and will include the following:

- White Wii U basic system

“There are so many great elements to this Skylanders SWAP Force Wii U bundle that we almost couldn’t cram them all into the box,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “This amazing deal provides a huge amount of entertainment for kids and their families to play together.”

The third installment of the award-winning toys-to-life Skylanders franchise, Skylanders SWAP Force lets players mix and match the top and bottom halves of up to 16 SWAP Force figures that are available for purchase and transform them into more than 250 unique characters*. Fans also can play Skylanders SWAP Force with their entire collection of 100+ characters from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure and Skylanders Giants. The Wii U version of the game stands apart, with touch-screen interfaces on the Wii U GamePad controller and the ability to play the entire game on the GamePad while someone else watches TV.

Does this bundle interest you? Considering the Skylanders Swap Force starter back costs $74.99 by itself this bundle for $299 is a pretty incredible deal. Would this entice you to pick up a Wii U system?
