*This is Official Release Material*

Skylanders Trap Team™ on the Nintendo 3DS™ introduces a complementary portable experience to the console version of the game. Now Portal Masters can enjoy a brand new storyline that allows them to bring the newest Trap Master stars to life and interact with 14 escaped villains who are completely exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS platform. The Nintendo 3DS version of Skylanders Trap Team also introduces the ability to play Skylanders Skystones against their friends using Wi-Fi connectivity, marking the first time Portal Masters can play a multiplayer version of the fan-favorite card game. Additionally, Skylanders Trap Team on Nintendo 3DS utilizes the platform’s touch screen, accelerometer and microphone capabilities to let players interact with characters in the game in fun and interesting ways.

Skylanders Trap Team on Nintendo 3DS™ offers a unique storyline featuring Hugo, Eon’s bumbling but loveable sidekick. While carrying out research at the Eternal Archives, Hugo reads ‘The Most Boring Book Ever’ and unwittingly opens a portal to the Realm of Dreams, allowing a host of nightmare creatures to escape into Skylands. The Dream Sheep, an evil master of nightmares and the lead villain in the game, works with his sleepy sidekick the Sleep Dragon to conjure a powerful sleep spell which is spreading across Skylands putting everyone to sleep, while his evil flock of nightmare minions wreaks havoc. The Skylanders are immune to this sleep spell, and with the help of the Trap Masters, leading the charge in this new adventure, Portal Masters must seek out the nightmare villains and trap them before it’s too late!

The Skylanders® franchise continues to bring imaginative characters to fans. Trap Masters, the ultimate hunters leading the charge in the battle to save Skylands, will be able to collect orbs in the Nintendo 3DS version of the game to unlock awesome special attacks. Each Skylanders Trap Team character and villain in the game has a unique personality and power that kids will want to play with again and again, such as Gusto, a blustery Trap Master with an oversized Traptanium™ Boomerang that can deliver the ultimate blow to bad guys; and Dream Sheep, the notorious villain that controls the Sleep Dragon to carry out his mission to take over Skylands!

The Skylanders Trap Team Nintendo 3DS™ Starter Pack will include the game cart, a special - Portal of Power®, Trap Master Gusto, and Barkley, who is officially the first Skylanders Mini to be featured in a Starter Pack.

KEY FEATURES:

The villains are then stored in the Traptanium Vault until players send them back in the game in the fight for good.
