Activision released some details of the Nintendo 3DS version of their upcoming Skylanders: SWAP Force today.
The Nintendo 3DS version of Skylanders SWAP Force offers gamers a unique adventure complete with its very own story, levels and special starter pack characters. The 3DS version is not the same game as found on consoles but is being dubbed as a truly complementary experience to the console version.
Skylanders SWAP Force on Nintendo 3DS will hit retail stores worldwide with three new characters — Rattle Shake, Volcanic Eruptor, and Free Ranger. These three characters will not be found in any other Skylanders Starter Pack.

After discontinuing the basic model set of the Wii U, Nintendo has announced that the price of the Deluxe model of the console will be reduced as of September 20th. The Deluxe model will be reduced by $50 to the price of the basic console.
The Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Set drops to to a new suggested retail price of $299.99 effective September 20th.
If you didn’t manage to take advantage of the recent Wal-Mart clear out of the basic model a few weeks ago this is now the best time to get your hands on the Deluxe set. And with a strong lineup of games coming in the fourth quarter the time could just be right.
