With Skylanders Swap Force being released in October for PS3, XBox 360, Wii and Wii U you might not realize that a Nintendo 3DS version is also being released. With each release of a Skylanders Game there has been a separate 3DS game put out as well. In the past the 3DS game had the same figures that the full console games had except they had one special figure not found in those sets. For Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure there was Dark Spyro. For Skylanders Giants there was Punch Pop Fizz. Those figures eventually got released in very limited quantities as single pack character but when the game is initially released that is the only way to get the character.

With the release of Skylanders Swap Force the 3DS version is going to come with two two Swap Force characters, Rattle Shake and Free Ranger that can swap their tops and bottoms as well as Volcanic Eruptor (A series 3 figure which is a repose of a character that has been in all 3 releases of the game). The full console game is going to come with Swap Force characters Blast Zone and Wash Buckler. So I am really excited that by getting both the console game and the 3DS game you are not getting any duplicate characters. The full details about this game can be found after the jump.
