<p>Skylanders is getting &#8220;supercharged&#8221; this year, but this time, they&#8217;re bringing their Amiibo friends along for the ride. Nintendo and developer Vicarious Visions announced today during Nintendo&#8217;s E3 Digital Event.</p>
<p><em>Skylanders Superchargers</em> will be the first in the series to feature Nintendo&#8217;s own Amiibo toy-to-game line, namely with &#8220;Turbo Charge Donkey Kong&#8221; and &#8220;Hammer Slam Bowser.&#8221; The former will boast his very own vehicle too, the Barrel Blaster, and Hammer Slam Bowser wielding, you guessed it – a gigantic hammer.</p>

<p>The figures will possess &#8220;complete move sets and upgrade trees of powers and abilities,&#8221; Vicarious Visions&#8217; Karthik Bala said.</p>
<p>Each figure&#8217;s base is also designed to be used as either a Skylander or an Amiibo. You can check out the <em>SuperChargers</em> segment of the E3 Digital Event above.</p>
<p>Naturally, the Amiibo figurines will be exclusive the Wii U version of Superchargers and won&#8217;t be compatible with any other versions.</p>
