It's been a long time since I've posted anything, and I'm glad to see there are still visitors.
I just received a message from Daniel101 that the official UB Funkey website is still "live" in Spanish.
Check this out: www.es.ubfunkeys.com
I've also received messages over the past few months that the server is still working so that you can play games against each other.Blog Authorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14479662119533592716noreply@blogger.com41tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475464498380553142.post-55861809238707880642011-10-16T10:57:00.004-04:002011-10-16T11:17:19.615-04:00Are Skylanders the Next UB Funkeys?Skylanders comes out today on Wii and the other gaming systems.
