Skylanders Giants Has a Little Something Extra on the Wii U

The Wii U version of Skylanders Giants doesn't look noticeably better or worse than the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version. It plays exactly the same as well—the Skylander toys are placed on the USB-connected portal, they come to life in the game, adventure ensues. For the Wii U version of Skylanders Giants, the Wii U control pad makes all the difference.

For one thing, the game is fully playable via the control pad. Launch it, select the option to play on the controller's screen and the television or monitor goes blank, allowing player to indulge in some rather pretty portable portal mastery as long as they stay within range.

When the control pad is used in conjunction with a monitor, however, it changes the way I play in a small but significant way. While playing on the television the control pad displays the statistics of the Skylander currently in play.
