Just went back to play Trap Team on Wii U w/ the new SuperCharger's portal attached -- I got an error message saying the SS portal is incompatible and I need to use the Traptanium Portal. I thought this was odd considering the TT portal works with SS.

Well that's strange, kinda messes up the whole "new portals work with all previous games" tradition. Hopefully all consoles aren't like that.

Same for PS3 and ps4, kinda sucks, especially when trying to unlock skystones, best thing is to keep using your trap team portal,

I don't know if it's bad or good.

its weird I think mostly because it's the opposite of how the other portals have functioned. E.g. Can't use SF portal for trap team . Can't use Giants portal for SF. But this time we can use the TT portal for superchargers. Very odd.

I spose its not technically a " portal" anymore, It's what ever it is now ... A pad or something.

I miss the classic portal design , was more magical then whatever this new things meant to be.

From what I can tell, there is no speaker in the new one. I guess that kind of messes with how Trap Team works - I loved that part of the game when their voice would go from the TV to the trap.

Thanks you all for the quick responses... it's bonkers that Activision decided to go that way. Still love the game, but that's just not cool.

yeah thats a step back if you ask me, they have always kept the new thing they added to the portals and just build on it. i expected the speaker to be included in supercharger portal. the voices going from the tv to the portal was one of the most awesome thing in trap team.

Somehow I knew that would happen.

cutting costs, is my guess...

I noticed that the new portals don't have a speaker, that might be the reason.

That's very bizarre that it doesn't work with TT. Even without a speaker in the portal, it should still be compatible. Surprised that VV went this way.

Speakers serve no purpose in the SuperChargers game. Life to Toys was Trap Team...not Trap Team and every game forward.

One more question. This may be slightly off-topic, but is the portal able to read figures and vehicles still in their packages?

Without a speaker, it's not really 100% compatible. Having the villains talking to you is a major part of the immersion of Trap Team, and for me was one of the best things about the traps. New players who go back to play Trap Team later should really play it with a speaker portal, something they might not do if they could use their SuperChargers portal. The only good alternative would have been to have a speaker in this game, too.

Wow that stuffs up my trade in plan
