"Skylanders Swap Force will launch for Nintendo 3DS, it has been announced. Activision confirmed today (August 29) that a 3DS version of its upcoming platformer is being developed by n-Space.  &amp;quot;Skylanders fans have been very supportive in expressing what they&amp;#039;d like to experience in the Nintendo 3DS version of Skylanders Swap Force, and we really took their input to heart,&amp;quot; said Activision production vice president Alex Peters. &amp;quot;The game plays smoother and crisper than ever before, and with kids&amp;#039; collections becoming larger and larger, we were able to add more depth and gameplay variety than any other handheld version of Skylanders.&amp;quot; The 3DS edition will feature its own story, dedicated levels and three new starter pack characters - Rattle Shake, Volcanic Eruptor and Free Ranger. The story for 3DS users begins in Boomtown, where its inhabitants are celebrating Skylands pilot Flynn as their hero. While rejoicing, a new villain known as Count Moneybone suddenly appears and kidnaps Cali, a long-time friend to Flynn.  After the unexpected encounter, the Skylanders and SWAP Force must be assembled to save Cali and triumph over the new baddie. Skylanders Swap Force will also see release for Wii, Wii U, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 13 in North America and October 18 in Europe. Also being developed are next-gen editions, which will contain additional graphical features, for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
