🎮 Game Compatibility

Works with (on Nintendo 3DS):

• Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure

• Skylanders: Giants

• Skylanders: Swap Force

(These are the 3DS versions of the games, not the home-console versions.)

🚫 Not Compatible With

• Home-console versions (Wii, Wii U, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) — because those use a USB portal, and this model has no USB port.

• PC/Mac versions — also require a USB portal.

• Standard DS or DS Lite — those systems lack the wireless functions and hardware support required by this 3DS portal.

🔄 Backward and Forward Compatibility Notes

• The 3DS portals are cross-compatible with earlier 3DS Skylanders games, meaning the 3DS Swap Force portal can also read figures from Spyro’s Adventure and Giants.

• It is not forward-compatible with later console games (like Trap Team or SuperChargers) — those used different portals and connection types.
