For the uninitiated, "WUP" stands for Wii U Package. This is the digital installable format used by the Wii U’s internal memory or USB storage, identical to what you would download directly from the Nintendo eShop. Before the eShop closure in March 2023, purchasing Skylanders Giants digitally would deliver a WUP file to your console.
| Player Type | Verdict |
|-------------|---------|
| Young kids (5–10) | ✅ Perfect – simple combat, bright colors, physical toys |
| Completionists | ⚠️ Expensive – you’ll need all Giants + older figures |
| Wii U collectors | ✅ One of the better early ports, worth having |
| New players jumping in | ❌ Start with Spyro’s Adventure or Imaginators instead |
| NFC/environmental fans | ❌ Frustrating that GamePad NFC is unused |
Title: Skylanders Giants
Platform: Nintendo Wii U
Region: NTSC-U / PAL / NTSC-J
