are the characters compatible with the old Wii?

characters are usable on any system, just depends on the game, newer games support all while older games support up to the games' release.

Should be able to since Wii U is backwards compatible but I am not positive on that since I don't have a Wii U.

Yes it will work the only ones that don't work on the wii would be the new wii u games

They need to have the latest portal and the latest disks to use the latest characters. Older characters will work on any newer version.

Yes, we have bought several additional characters and all have worked wonderfully. Just make sure you get Wii characters and not WiiU.

Yes. All skylanders figures are compatible with all platforms/consoles/game systems. We use this guy on our PS3 and Wii.

Yes. Just plug it in the GameCube ports on the top of the Wii. Just be sure that your Wii has the ability to play/use GameCube games and/or controllers before buying.

Yes, you can play the Wii version on the Wii U. The Wii U is backwards compatible with all Wii titles.

You can use the figures, but you have to buy the new game for your sister. All the characters are forward compatible.

Only Wii games r compatible with the Wii Classic Controller, unless the game itself has a label saying it is compatible...

I am afraid not. The only skylanders that work with the original game are series 1 figures and this one was a part of series 2.

Yes this is the one for the WII! Not the Wii U. You can buy characters for the Disney Infinity. Make sure they don't say Wii u or Disney Infinity 2.0 on them!

The characters/figures like this Elsa one work on all bases regardless of platform/gaming system. I believe the bases may also be interchangeable since they all use the standard USB interface. Also, the Wii U version of the game is now available and free.

This is only compatible with the Wii U. You will need to get a Classic Controller to hook into the Wii Remote to get a similar experience on the Wii.

I believe they work on all the devices. I have never looked at them to see if they said Wii,xbox etc. That being said I have never bought one that didn't work on our device and we have quite a few characters. You would think if I weren't looking I would mess up at least once and buy the wrong one.

Yes... the Wiimote and the nunchuck can be used to play. Personally, I think it's easier to play with them and not use the Gamepad due to the motion commands and button layout.
