So I'm a little clueless about kids video games since my kids are just getting in to them but I was wondering about Skylanders. My boys each have a 3DS and we have a WII. My boys want Skylanders for xmas but I'm not sure for which console. 3DS or Wii? Any thoughts?
 
I would love some input too. We have a Wii, and they have been talking about them for months, but I am very confused by the whole thing. Is it a game, but there are additional add-on packs, etc?
 
We LOVE skylanders here... my older boys got it for Christmas last year (10 & 13 at the time), but honestly my littlest one (5) loves it more. Ours is for the Wii. You have to have a "portal" thingie so it's not really a mobile game. You buy the starter pack and then you can add "characters". They characters sit on the portal and you play as them. Some are more in demand than others but we are not serious gamers so my kids aren't picky.

DS is asking for Skylander Giants this year (a new game w/ new characters... sold separately of course, LOL). Same portal, thank goodness. I think Santa is going to come through for him ;).
 
I've been curious about this game also. I checked the trailer on youtube before I decided against it, just because I wanted a non-fighter game for kiddo. I got him Little Big Planet Karting instead. I'm concidering it for next Christmas, it seems to be a popular game.
 
We are big Skylander fans here. Ava is getting the Giants game for Christmas this year. It is a really fun game...but expensive as you buy more characters.
 
We just ordered the new Skylanders Giants for my youngest today online. He's been begging for it since last year at Christmas.
 
We've had Skylanders on the wii for a while, my 9yo managed to get my 5 yo niece addicted to it last time they were staying here. It's quite funny as well, not too hard, even I can play along. I have just purchased the giants game for christmas. Have't heard anything about the 3DS version.
