Activision has unveiled first details about the 3DS edition of Skylanders Trap Team. This version will be available on October 5 – just like the other versions – and will allow players to take on the Dream Sheep as well as 13 other villains exclusive to the platform.


Quote:
Throughout the game, Portal Masters can summon captured villains to unleash devastating attacks and fight side-by-side with their Skylander. They can also play as captured villains in 13 unique villain “bootcamps” created by the evil Dream Sheep, the master villain in the game. Additionally, players can discover each Trap Master’s signature Trap Attack by collecting Traptanium orbs dropped by enemies when defeated, enabling players to wipe out evil foes with one awesome attack.

After villains are defeated in combat, players can use the bottom Touch Screen to pull them out of the game and trap them in the Traptanium Vault. Then, once captured, players can use the Touch Screen and microphone to poke, tickle and spin villains to make them dizzy.


The 3DS version of Skylanders Trap Team will offer a multiplayer version of card game Skylanders Skystones that uses Wi-Fi connectivity. This is the first time Portal Masters can play the mini-game with friends and family.

Players will be able to load in their Skylanders characters directly into the 3DS by using the Portal of Power included in the Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack. Two powerful Skylanders characters will be available at launch only via the Nintendo 3DS Starter Pack: Gusto, a Trap Master with an oversized Traptanium Boomerang that delivers the ultimate blow to bad guys; and Barkley, the Mini version of Skylanders Giants’ Tree Rex. All toys from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, Skylanders Giants, and Skylanders SWAP Force will work in the game, and all of the characters’ abilities, levels and customization will carry forward into Skylanders Trap Team.

Here's the names and descriptions of all 14 3DS villains:

Quote:
DREAM SHEEP
An ill-tempered sheep and master of nightmares from the Realm of Dreams – who is on a quest to become ruler of Skylands!
**
BOBBIN ROOD
This frighteningly accurate Nightmare Elf can shoot the middle out of a gold piece and have it rain down change… which he then puts in his own pockets.
**
RUNYS POINTYBOOTS
A fortune teller from the Nightmare Fair with a hidden flair for evil… and shoes.
**
SHELSHOCK SHELDON
Sick and tired of turtles being pushed around, Sheldon started the Secret Turtle Liberation Front… of which he is still the only member.******
**
BARON VON SMASHBEAK
This armor plated bird was an absolute nightmare growing up… much to the delight of his proud parents.
**
SPIKE MCPOKERTON
A menacing invader of dreams that should be approached with extreme caution partly because he is dangerous, but mostly because he has never taken a bath.
**
BIRDO CHESTERFIELD
What this bird sorcerer lacks in size he more than makes up for with his extraordinary magical abilities… not to mention his remarkable fashion sense.
**
MARF GARGAROOTS
Plagued all of his life by chronic foot odor, it's been said that when Marf invades peoples' dreams, they often wake with fright from the smell alone.**
**
OLAF CRUSHERSSON
Olaf has always been an avid bird watcher, and while it's true that he ate many of those birds, some say that this was a sign that he wasn’t ALL bad.
**
RUSSEL PURPLESTACHE
Originally a captain in the Nightmare Navy, this Nightmare Pirate left the service when he accidently cut the pants off of an admiral while trying to shake his hand.
**
BORIS BLISTERBOTTOM
This Nightmare Chompy leaves a trail of fire wherever he goes… which excludes him from participating in his favorite pastime – snowball fights.
**
GRUNKIN GOBSPROUT
While this Nightmare Troll may not be physically imposing, his skill as a marksman is legendary – as is his appetite for waffles.
**
BUCKTOOTH THE TINY
During his downtime from being a Nightmare Villain, Bucktooth is actually the lead singer for well-known band Purple Nightmare Funk Parade.
**
BIG BERTHA BUBBLETHORN
Not much is known about this Nightmare Chompy, especially since most everyone who comes in contact with her is mysteriously eaten.

Sooo... Light and Dark Elements I guess, uh...?
And that prototype character SkylanderDad shown us had a little sun on his chest...
We'll see how that turns out.
For me, as of now, is a BIG "Mmmmh...".

We are tall king about Elements balancing, here.
Not something to joke on.

Anyway, the new 3DS game looks cool (the graphics looks even a little better).
Might buy it, after all.

Stupid SWAP Force chompies... X(

Well, Yay to the 3DS getting something with Wi-Fi. Boo to it being about Skystones. I dont care about the stupid minigames. At least it pushed the idea that Sky5 might actually get online.

Not sure how I feel about the rest of it. The unbalanced elements will make my OCD crawl, and half the villain names are so bad it actually makes me feel like Bat-Spin was a halfway decent choice. Ugh.

#9 Posted: 13:16:59 18/09/2014
Hmm, I wonder if the 3DS villains will literally be... TRAPPED in the 3DS?

I mean I'm almost positive that that will be the case, but it would be cool if somehow they could be used on the console (and vice versa with the console ones, though that's even more doubtful).

But this is really big news, suddenly I am excited again that I have this pre-ordered.

I hope. I REALLY HOPE. That the Skystones's Wi-Fi is able to include random "battles".

I mean with friends would be ok, but random battles would be cool of possible.

(Glad to see the old skystones is back though)

Not really sure. We're still missing two elements for Doom Raiders, and we're not even sure we can trap AU Eon. He could be just Magic and the two new elements lack Doom Raiders(unless the Dream Sheep is one, but then you'd have to fit the Nightmare Express' villains)

One of the question mark Doom Raiders is obviously the Magic one.
As for the two new Elements, well, I tought they could have been created by Eon and Kaos, to help the Skylanders.
So, it would be quite strange if there were Light villains, but Dark ones would make sense.

Wow that video shows alot of stuff smilie

The new 'puzzle' mechanics look neat, much better than the cheep version of the lock puzzle on Swapforce.

The graphics to look WAY better. Though that's only the new guys.. didn't show the others. but hey the mini Giants are faster. to bad they couldn't of adjusted their attacks to make them not as slow or something.

Though, it's looking like in the 3DS version... the villains are more like 'special attacks' or something. as in it looks like they show up, do an attack, then leave. And you've still controling the skylander... but it looked like there may be a special place where you can play as just the villains though.... as of that one guy.

And YAY my logic was correct... though it's crazy how unballanced the elements are. Not refering to the 'Rock, paper, scizors' effect but how according to the poster, there's only like 2 Skylanders of each new type... and only 1 makes the Doom Raiders... assuming one of the ?s is magic.

Though ofcourse they also unballanced the reposes... imo anyways. I still think it's stupid to do Series 4 if their only doing 1 skylander. I mean if it's just a new wow-pow... they shouldn't of done S4 at all. If it's some fun new way (like 3rd upgrade path, or ability to have both upgrade paths at once smilie *though ugh that'd be bad with (stealthelf) because I HATE those ghost daggers. I mean wouldn't be as bad if they'd only show up when she's attacking.. but nope, they float about her.*) so if that they should of had more than just 1. Even 3 or 4 would of worked. But not 1.

I'm just going to repost what I posted elsewhere-
Quote: Arc of Archives
It does look bad to me. It's too difficult to tell if it actually will be clunky from the footage, but it looks like character movement and attacks are somewhat slow and stinted, like they were in Giants and SWAP Force 3DS. Also, I hope the final game runs better.

The levels look like they'll all have a bunch of puzzles and cutscenes and things slowing the gameplay down, which is bad for a handheld Skylanders title, which you should be able to pick up and play in short bursts. If they're in the game, they should be restricted to extra areas or made minimal, so when on a trip it's easier to just rush through one level. Plus they're frikin' boring to do after you've solved them once, the only reason I'm not complaining much about that kind of stuff on the console version is because when playing on the couch being able to play a quick session has lower priority

It looks like villains just act as most of the Magic Items do on the console, attacking enemies, but you can't play them. Honestly, I didn't expect much out of them, but that seems lame.

At least they were able to get rid of the stupid cutscenes that showed every single Battle Gate opening.

Maybe I'm just bitter because I miss 3DSSA's level design style and want another Skylanders game with many short levels. And didn't really like the overwhelming majority of Giants' or SF's levels on replays. ...And don't like how this game seems.

I like online Skystones and the graphics are noticeably better. That's about it.
Even the Battle Gate cutscenes being gone could be a negligible improvement, if there are just more puzzles slowing things down in their place.

I'm sure like SA/SF I'll enjoy going through it the first time, but the gameplay makes it seem like I won't enjoy replaying it (unlike SA). Going to buy the game without other starter content cheap from eBay. ... I just realised I never pre-ordered this, so I don't even need to cancel a deposit.

The mention of the words Nightmare and Dream in various places lead me to believe that those might be the Sun and Moon. Moon for Nightmares during the night, and the Sun for....Daydreams?

Also, because of the way that the Sun and Moon seem to be locked in certain points, but unlocked in the others lead me to believe they have to be unlocked....Perhaps those characters we're missing in the roster might be here?

Looking at the poster again, I persume the (Im calling them Nightmare) villians we see (including the chompy and the thing there is here: [User Posted Image]

Make me think the last to Doom Raider spots are to be taken up by The Dream Sheep and his Sleep Dragon... While the six missing spots are for the things I mentioned before. I may be wrong, I may be right about all of this, but only time will tell.

Anywho, does anyone remember why they werent talking about Glumshanks when the game was announced? smilie

Obviously Light. He even has the elemental symbol on his chest.

The real question is: is he a Core or a Trap Master?
I hope for the former, even if size would confirm the latter, because another traptanium sword would be quite uncreative, even if TfB managed to give it a completely original moveset.
I mean, we already have Krypt King and Thunderbolt as sworsdmen (not counting Snap Shot's arrows).

Unless the ones made of traptanium are the wings.
That would be really interesting.
But I don't think so.

Yeah, it's small and kinda blurry, but SkylanderDad mentioned it, in the video.
Probably wouldn't have noticed it too, at least not before cecking this picture multiple times.

If it's any consolation for you, I didn't noticed High Five had four wings, until his figure was shown. smilie

It's also a prototype figure which could very well mean it won't be in the game or appearance could have changed completely. We have seen that happen before (one well known example is Ninjini's prototype). If you Google skylanders prototype you will find tons of images of skylanders that never made the game (many will be fakes, but there are some real ones, this has been stated in interviews).
