Activision have today shown off, at long last, images, videos and details on the Nintendo 3DS edition of
Skylanders Trap Team. The portable game will again have a story completely unique to that of the consoles and will feature 14 exclusive escaped villains. This time you'll be fighting the evil Dream Sheep who is trying to put the whole of Skylands to sleep with his Sleep Dragon.
Instead of using Traps to capture the villains the 3DS makes use of its touch screen to capture them, meaning that the villains cannot be used in the console version and vice versa. You can use the villains in regular gameplay but also in some special "boot camp" training levels.
The game also features a multiplayer version of Skystones which you can play online over WiFi, interestingly it's the original form of Skystones seen in
Skylanders Giants rather than the new Skystones from the console versions of Trap Team.
The 3DS Starter Pack will come with Gusto, Barkley and a Portal of Power. So no traps and no exclusive alt-deco.

glimpse at a Moon icon and a Sun icon at the bottom of the other elements).
