[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]LG Electronics (LG) is bringing popular family-friendly video games Skylanders Battlegrounds and Where’s My Mickey? to its CINEMA 3D Smart TV platform.

These games will be made available this holiday season in the LG Smart TV Game World app store.

“At LG, we’re committed to providing LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV users with a truly diverse range of entertainment options, suitable for the entire family,” said Richard Choi, senior vice president of the Smart Business Center at LG Electronics. “These entertaining titles deliver an incredible gaming experience thanks to the fantastic picture quality and large screens of our Smart TV lineup. And the games we’ll be bringing to our platform will take advantage of LG’s easy-to-use Magic Remote, which makes the gaming experience much more like a dedicated game console.”

Specially adapted and optimized for LG CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, Skylanders Battlegrounds will enable fans of the franchise to play with any character from the entire collection of Skylanders figures. The motion control capabilities of LG’s Magic Remote will help to transport the player into the beautifully rendered battlegrounds of the unique world of Skylands.

In under two years, the franchise has reached more than USD 1.5 billion in worldwide retail sales, with more than 125 million Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, Skylanders Giants™, and Skylanders Battlegrounds toys sold to date.1
