Today, Disney has announced that due to continued decline in sales, they have decided to cancel their Disney Infinity series. Not just this, but they also revealed that they will be exiting console game publishing altogether. This is a pretty big blow, not just for toys to life, but also for the games industry itself as an entire publisher exits stage left.

Infinity launched on August 18th 2013, and was made to directly compete with the mega hit Skylanders franchise. If you’d like to read more you can find the company’s concession post right here. What do you think of Disney Infinity’s cancellation? Do you think Disney should completely leave the game console market?

Could ‘Finding Dory’, ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and more ‘Star Wars’ Be Coming To ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’?

by Josh JacksonMarch 10, 2016

During Disney’s first Disney Infinity NEXT presentation, the official news came to no surprise to most of us, since the new Marvel and Baloo figures were leaked last month. Despite the excitement of the reveal, (or disappointment over being spoiled,) the most newsworthy news was hinted at towards the closing moments of the video.

Alluding to us taking a trip to the sea and walking “through the looking glass,” this could only mean that Finding Dory and Alice in Wonderland will be making their Toys To Life debut sometime this year. Why Finding Dory and not The Little Mermaid, Atlantis, or any other Disney property that takes us underwater? Earlier in the presentation, it was confirmed that 2016 will get one Pixar, Disney, Marvel AND Star Wars expansion, hinting at the possibility that 3.0 will be further built on rather than releasing a 4.0. Since Alice is getting a movie later this year and was clearly teased, that leaves Finding Dory as our best bet.

But what’s even more exciting is the confirmation of more Star Wars content. While it likely will be based around this year’s Rogue One, I would love Rebels to get the full campaign treatment after releasing so many figures inspired by the animated series.

What do you want to see when it comes to the future of Disney Infinity? Sound off in the comments, and check out all the new figures in action for yourself in the presentation below!

Black Panther, Baloo And More Revealed For ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’ Courtesy Of Retailer Leak!

by Josh JacksonJanuary 18, 2016

Man, these leaks seem to hit Disney Infinity hard, don’t they?

A few months after a few of the upcoming Marvel figures were leaked ahead of the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set scheduled to launch in March, an apparent retailer leak has shown off these figures all over again, with one extra surprise being added to the Disney Originals roster. From the expected, to the teased, to the completely out of left field, here are the characters and power discs being added to the Disney Infinity collection.

Starting with one we all knew was coming, Black Suit Spider-Man was previously exclusive to the PS Vita version of Disney Infinity 2.0, and was clearly listed as a new character under the Marvel character roster in 3.0. Even if he wasn’t a surprise, (and despite the costume being available as a power disc,) Symbiote Spidey looks amazing up close. I know this because I was one of the people who bought the Vita version just for him early last year. It’s worth it, people!

Teased months ago on the Disney Infinity Facebook page, Ant-Man is finally headed to the game with his own figure. Despite appearing as a mission giver and assist character via his own Power Disc, Ant-Man will now be fully playable, with an updated design based more on his movie version. Sure to ride the wave of momentum the character is enjoying after his movie turned out to be pretty great, I can’t wait to add him to my growing collection.

As one of the two major leaks from October, we finally have a mock up of what Vision’s figure and box will look like together. While somewhat expected because of his debut in Age Of Ultron, Vision is sure to bring some exciting new moves with the power of his Infinity Stone once the character is released.

Easily my favorite figure from the leaked set, (and possibly ever if the detail in the image translates to the final release,) Black Panther looks like an absolute beast! Just in time for his big screen debut in Captain America: Civil War, the prince of Wakanda will go well with the updated First Avenger Captain America launching with Marvel Battlegrounds.

The next batch of Marvel Power Discs feature a variety of characters and items from the most recent films, including the Nova Corps logo, Ghost Rider’s motorcycle, (despite having no Ghost Rider,) and the Cosmic Cube. What’s most surprising, is what seems to be a Darkhawk support disc, a more obscure character who is typically associated with Nova, but hasn’t made an appearance in the games or movies at this point. Maybe it’s hinting at future plans? Or maybe it’s just a cool bonus for the hardcore comic fans!

And lastly, the character that I did not see coming is Baloo, although it’s clear Disney saw him as a “Bear Necessity”. With a joyous expression reminiscent of his beloved song and dance sequence from The Jungle Book, details on what his in game abilities will be at this point are unknown. Once Disney sends out the official details however, we’ll be sure to post the updates!

You might have noticed the Wi-Fi logo at the bottom of each box. Considering past games have had the entire release schedule pre-installed on the disc, (and ruining the surprise in the process,) 3.0 is allowing the developers to add characters post launch. Unfortunately, this also means that an Internet connection is needed for characters who are being added late in the game’s life. It’s a give and take, but overall, I feel this is a positive, especially since surprises like Baloo would’ve been spoiled in August if this wasn’t the case.

What are your favorites from these new figures, and who do you hope to see get added to the game? Let us know in the comments!

‘Disney Infinity 3.0’ Is Also Headed To The New Apple TV!

by Derek KraneveldtSeptember 9, 2015

Briefly: Another big name title is headed towards the new Apple TV, and it’s Activision’s just-released Disney Infinity 3.0!

Here’s the announcement, straight from the Disney Infinity Blog:

John Vignocchi here with a quick update on an announcement you might have heard about earlier today…

I’m happy to share that the full Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition console experience will be available on the new Apple TV later this year. The game will be available through a special Apple TV starter pack, with a similar configuration to the one offered for consoles, including the Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano figures, and a new wireless Disney Infinity 3.0 bluetooth base! We’ll have additional details on this starter pack to share soon.

We are honored to have worked closely with Apple over the past few months to deliver a console–quality experience for this exciting new device. We can’t wait for fans — old and new — to give it a try when it releases later this year.

Apple let us know that Disney Infinity would head to the Apple TV earlier today, but didn’t offer any details about the release.

Will you pick up a new Apple TV? Plan to play games on it? Sound out below!

D23 2015: The ‘Marvel Battlegrounds’ Play Set Delivers 4 Player Local Co-Op To ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’

by Josh JacksonAugust 20, 2015

Star Wars wasn’t the only property getting plenty of love during the D23 video game panel! While on stage, Disney Interactive finally delivered details on the previously announced Marvel Play Set coming to Disney Infinity 3.0.

Titled “Marvel Battlegrounds”, this set will be unique in the sense that it will allow 4 player local co-op in series history. Previously, four players was only possible online and in the Toy Box, but this Play Set looks to put all of your Marvel figures to good use, especially when they’re adding two more to play with.

Ripped straight from this summer’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron, the titular villain will be getting his own figure to use in the set and the toy box alongside Hulkbuster Iron Man. Want to rule the world? Or save it? Or maybe you want to ride in tea cups or have a friendly race through Gravity Falls? Regardless on how you use them, Marvel fans are sure to be thrilled to know that the comic book universe hasn’t been abandoned for a galaxy far, far away.

Take a look at the latest screenshots and trailer below and tell us what else you hope gets added! Will you be rounding out your Avengers collection with these new figures? And will you be getting together with the family to explore the Marvel universe in this new set? Let us know in the comments!

D23 2015: ‘The Good Dinosaur’, ‘Zootopia’, and Peter Pan Are Headed To ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’

by Josh JacksonAugust 20, 2015

At the Disney Interactive video game panel at D23, it was teased that new Disney Originals would be revealed for Disney Infinity 3.0. Making good on their promise, it was revealed that characters from two upcoming films, The Good Dinosaur and Zootopia, would get the Toys To Life treatment. In addition, Peter Pan will also arrive next year as the “Toy Box Artists Choice”, after winning a vote amongst the participants of the latest Toybox Summit, consisting of players from across the country who have built some of the best stages in the game’s Toy Box mode.

All of these figures are set to be compatible with the Toy Box mode, (most likely meaning they won’t have a campaign, or “Play Set” of their own,) with both The Good Dinosaur and Zootopia getting their own Power Disc packs. While Spot from Pixar’s upcoming film was the only character confirmed thus far, it’s safe to say that we’ll be getting a few more from both films, especially Nick Wilde from the latter flick.

While these additions are welcomed, I’m especially thrilled that Peter is finally out. Getting Tinkerbell before him is strange as it is, but considering that there will be two Mickey’s a Minnie and a Donald with no Goofy, or Phineas and Perry releasing two years ago with no Ferb in sight, it wasn’t the first time that important characters were missing. Still, it’s not too late! Chances are they’ll arrive sooner or later. Right?

Disney Infinity 3.0 is arriving on August 28th with more content rolling out throughout next year.

D23: ‘Kingdom Hearts’ Makes Its Debut In ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’!

by Josh JacksonAugust 16, 2015

At the Disney Interactive video game panel at D23, the team behind the upcoming Disney Infinity 3.0 had some big news. Aside from the official reveal of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens character figures that will launch alongside their own Play Set, the Darth Vader branded PS4, and Big Hero 6 being confirmed for Kingdom Hearts 3, it looks like the ever so patient fans of Square Enix’s crossover epic will get a taste of the power of the Keyblade in the upcoming Star Wars themed Toys To Life game, courtesy of this year’s Ultimate Unlock! But the question must be asked; could this be foreshadowing something more!?

In past versions, the Ultimate Unlock was a reward for buying every figure and leveling them up to at least level 1. Yes, that’s one expensive piece of DLC, (over $400 to give you an idea,) but the team always tried to make it worth it for their most dedicated fans. The first game unlocked a lightsaber, a full two years before Star Wars would get its own game. That left the likes of Mr. Incredible, Jack Sparrow, Anna and Elsa with the power of The Force. The second game awarded players with Luke Skywalker’s speeder, another tease at what would finally arrive in the third game. With Kingdom Hearts being teased between the Ultimate Unlock, and the con exclusive power disc that gives Mickey his king costume from the RPG, it’s safe to assume that a future game could become a full on collectable campaign featuring this universe. Imagine Sora, Riku, Kairi and Aqua getting the figure treatment!? Ugh, my money!

Will this reveal sway you when it comes to letting the addiction take over? Or are you more likely to give 3.0 a chance now that Kingdom Hearts has some representation? Either way, this might be the closest we’ll get to the series for the next 15 years when KH 3 will finally release. Sound off below and have your opinion be heard!

SDCC 2015: We Hit The Track With The ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’ Toy Box Speedway!

by Josh JacksonJuly 28, 2015

As we mentioned in our E3 preview, Disney Infinity 3.0 looks to create a much bigger experience than its predecessors partially thanks to the Toy Box Games. These dedicated modes look to bring full fledged games outside of the main Play Set campaigns, all of which will allow any of your figures to work. At Comic Con 2015, we took a peak inside Disney’s Pop Up shop to and had some hands on time with the Toy Box Speedway, a dedicated racing game that expands the game play in even bigger ways. And while I walked in expecting a fun side game to compliment the main content, what I left with was what felt like it could have been a full fledged title.

At first glance, the Toy Box Speedway looks to be doing its best Mario Kart impression, and that assumption wouldn’t be too far off. Players will be able to choose from a variety of cars and any character figure they own to jump onto the track with, with each one playing exactly the same stat wise. In fact, the only ones that do have an advantage are the Pixar Cars, and rightfully so considering racing is kind of their thing. After choosing between a car and figure, players will get to choose between numerous Disney locales to drift through. Including stages inspired from films such as Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph and The Nightmare Before Christmas, each track played up to their themes well, with iconic imagery and personality throughout.

Once the race actually started however, I was surprised by how well the game handled, with a strong sense of speed, a variety of weapons to use from the item boxes scattered along the track, and the boost storing mechanic that fills a meter every time you drift or pull off a trick. If this sounds at all familiar, then I’m guessing you’ve played the Sega All-Stars Racing games, because Disney pulled the incredibly talented developers at Sumo Digital to develop this mode. Their level of quality shined through each race, leaving me wanting to play each track when all I was expecting was a quick, half hearted mini game that only served as an optional break from the Play Sets.

After the finish line was crossed, I felt more optimistic for Disney’s next game than I already did. With Toy Box Showdown taking an action approach alongside the Speedway tackling racing, it’s looking like we’ll have tons to do with our new toys, alongside our old favorites. Are you planning on jumping into this whole new world when Disney Infinity 3.0 launches on August 30th? Share your thoughts below!

Help Choose The Next Character In An Upcoming ‘Disney Infinity’ Game!

by Josh JacksonJuly 23, 2015

So have the rosters of three Disney Infinity games come and gone and you’re STILL missing your favorite character? Now’s your chance to change that.

Over at blogs.disney.com, the house of mouse is running a poll to help choose who the next character in the game might be. Including a preset list of characters including characters who should already be in, (like Goofy, WALL-E and Mabel from Gravity Falls,) ones I never would’ve thought of, (Kim Possible and Pocahontas,) or even more Johnny Depp in the form of Tim Burton’s Mad Hatter, fans are also welcomed to write in their own choices in the comments section of the blog and the Infinity Facebook page!

One peculiar thing about the poll however, is that it specifies that this character will be added to an “upcoming edition” of the game. Considering that the rosters in these games is usually set long before release, is this some kind of stealth announcement of a fourth game to follow this year’s Star Wars themed game? With as much cash as these things rake in, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Personally, I wanted to vote in Goofy before I saw the poll. I mean, we have Donald, Minnie and TWO Mickey’s at this point. Ferb would be great too to round out the team of Phineas and Agent P, who launched Ferb-less with the first game. However, I was thrilled to see Darkwing Duck leading the votes by a large margin earlier in the day! Infinity could stand to get a little dangerous.

Who do you want to see join the world of Disney’s Toys To Life franchise! Let us know who you’re voting for below! No, it won’t count for anything, but we’ll love you to pieces!

NOTE: As of this writing, it seems like the voting crashed, unless the site broke math and 9000% of people really voted for Baloo.

E3 2015: We Use The Force And Get In Touch With Our Emotions In ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’

by Josh JacksonJuly 21, 2015

When I first played Disney Infinity in 2013, the idea that one game could contain so many different genres was far more ambitious than you would expect from a company that could sell games on name value alone. Each of its five Play Sets and the custom Toy Box mode that accompanied them went on to prove how vastly different characters, worlds and ideas could come together in one comprehensive package. Mechanics would only be improved upon in Disney Infinity 2.0, bringing Marvel’s finest super heroes into a more focused, much larger open world, with refinements made to the combat and creation modes. So where does 3.0 go from here? We sought to find out, so we took some time with the Star Wars and Inside Out sets to see what changes the new game has in store for all us toy collectors out there.

Starting with the Star Wars side of things, it’s clear that Disney is doing their best to create a compelling experience while taking a more lighthearted approach to a galaxy far, far away. While blaster combat with characters like Han and Leia is largely the same as past iterations, (essentially locking on and shooting with some character specific abilities thrown in,) Lightsaber combat is where the game looks to shine. Developed by Ninja Theory, the team behind such action titles as DmC: Devil May Cry, Enslaved, Odyssee to the West, and Heavenly Sword, some of the actions were instantly recognizable. Taking bits of what they included from their past works, melee combat was much more focused this time, allowing the Jedi to combo enemies, launch them in the air, or throw in Force Powers to manipulate the space around their enemies. When it came down to the boss fight against General Grievous, there was never a moment where I felt like I had too few options to take him down.

Considering the steps the combat is taking towards a more focused, refined standard, 3.0 still hopes to keep its playful side intact. Exploring Endor with Darth Vader riding a Speeder Bike looks as ridiculous as it sounds, and the Battle of Hoth is a whole new experience when you have to take down AT-AT’s with Han Solo’s fists. Speaking of Hoth, one of the more interesting aspects of the demo was how tying up their legs was handled. Unlike any Star Wars game I’ve played, speed and height played a role in whether or not tripping it was successful. Fly to fast or too slow, or become misaligned with its moving joints, and your cord will break off, adding more depth to a battle we’ve played many times in the past. Of course, this leads to climbing it and breaking its weak points with your fists, but it wouldn’t be a Toys to Life game if it wasn’t silly.

Moving over to the Inside Out Play Set, playing with our emotions takes a more puzzle/platform approach to the game as opposed to the aggressive nature of the Star Wars stages. Playing as Joy, Anger, Sadness, Disgust and Fear, each character has specific traits used to navigate the stages, presented as both 2D and 3D stages. For example, Joy can float a’la Princess Peach to reach farther away areas, while Anger can walk through fire without taking damange. Often being presented with light puzzle elements that required delivering orbs to the right doors, this set came off as what you would expect from your typical licensed game. Well designed, but nothing ground breaking, the switch between perspectives and the puzzles added some variety, but these sections are obviously designed with young kids in mind. And trust me, they’ll want all the merchandise they can get once these toys and games start hitting shelves. They just look too nice to resist!

With these two sets, I felt like I was getting a drastically different experience, moreso than in 2.0 and its Play Sets. From what we’ve seen so far, 3.0 is on track to advancing the original concept even further by bringing something for everyone with its final package. Promsing even more accessible Toy Box tools, stand alone Toy Box game modes, more unannounced Play Sets and more to experience in the stages we got to demo, and it’s safe to say that 3.0 will be bigger than ever, with the potential to be even better.

Could Ant-Man Be Headed To ‘Disney Infinity: 3.0’?

by Josh JacksonJuly 20, 2015

On the Disney Infinity Facebook page, the team teased some pretty big news.

Considering this post was made on the same day as the release of the Ant-Man film, (which you can read up on with our official review,) it’s safe to say that the latest hero to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be making his playable debut in Disney Infinity 3.0. Oh, and then there’s this image.

While the focus seems to be on Star Wars this time around, it’s still not out of the ordinary for more Marvel heroes to be added as well. After all, a new Avengers Play Set packaged with a new Ultron and Hulkbuster Iron Man figure have already been revealed, so it’s not hard to imagine more heroes making the rounds in Disney’s Toy Box. When you consider how easy it would be to plug the hero into the game due to his model already existing thanks to his support character power disc in 2.0, and it suddenly becomes an obvious choice.

Of course, this also means there’s one more figure to invest in. Are you on board with parting with even more cash? As a ~~irresponsible~~ fanatical adult, I know I am!

SDCC 2015: Release Date And Details Announced For ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’

by Josh JacksonJuly 15, 2015

Disney Interactive has announced that their upcoming Star Wars themed Toys to Life title, Disney Infinity 3.0, will hit stores on August 30th. Aside from the game itself, the studio plans to release close to a dozen new figures to go with it, so we hope the next month is enough time to get your cash together!

Aside from the Starter Pack, (which includes the Twilight of the Republic Play Set, Anakin Skywalker and Ashoka Tano,) day one will see the release of Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi’s standalone figures, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Zeb Orrelios from Star Wars Rebels, and a set of Star Wars Power Discs. Of course, if you want even more goodness from a galaxy far far away, Playstation owners can also purchase the Star Wars Saga Starter Pack, which gives them early access to Luke, Leia, the Twilight of the Empire Play Set, and Boba Fett.

Outside of the Jedi, Disney won’t leave themselves in the dust. In addition, the Inside Out Play Set will release on day one as well, (which is bundled with Joy and Anger,) with Sadness, Disgust and Fear releasing as standalone toys. If you want your Toy Box characters outside of the Play Sets, Disney also has you covered with the releases of Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, Olaf, Sam Flynn and Quorra, alongside a Tomorrowland power disc pack to customize your Toy Box with.

I know, this is already a huge amount of toys to buy on day one, but the last release can be free of charge! If you pre-order, each person who does walks away with early access to the Toy Box Takeover, a multiplayer expansion normally priced at $19.99. Serving as an action adventure mode supporting 2 players locally and 4 players online, players will be able to take any toy from the previous or current game and travel across multiple Disney, Marvel and Star Wars worlds in their quest to stop Syndrome. Later this Fall, Toy Box Speedway, a Kart racing expansion, will also release, but you’ll have to pay for that one.

Here’s the full press release:

Toy Box Expansion Games unlock additional hours of gameplay inside Toy Box 3.0.

Toy Box Expansion Game Overviews:

Toy Box Takeover

When Syndrome gets his hands on Merlin’s magic wand, it’s up to the player to stop him. Using their favorite characters in Disney Infinity, they must battle across multiple worlds, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel’s Upper Manhattan, The Old West, or The Incredibles Volcano Lair to defeat the bad guys before they ruin the Toy Box forever. Players can complete missions with family and friends via two-player local co-op or four-player online.

Toy Box Speedway

Players can join their favorite Disney, Disney•Pixar, Marvel’s and Star Wars characters and vehicles in an action-packed kart-racer. With nine franchise-themed tracks to choose from – Sugar Rush, Frozen, Tatooine, a classic Star Wars location, San Fransokyo, Agrabah, Monsters Inc., Halloween Town, Gravity Falls or Marvel’s Knowhere – they can choose from three different game modes including Time Trial mode, Race mode and Combat mode. Players put their driving skills to the test as they attack opponents with gadgets and weapons and earn trophies across three challenge cups.

Rated E10+ by the ESRB, the Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack available in North America on August 30, 2015 for $64.99, includes the Star Wars™ Twilight of the Republic Play Set, the Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Base, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker character figures, and a web code card that unlocks content for PC and mobile devices.

Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Video Game and Base are required to play the Toy Box Expansion Games. Toy Box Takeover and Toy Box Speedway will be sold separately at the suggested retail price of $19.99 each later this fall.

All figures and Power Discs from the 1.0 and 2.0 editions of Disney Infinity will be compatible with Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition in the enhanced Toy Box 3.0.

We were lucky enough to try out the Play Sets and the Toy Box Speedway between E3 and Comic Con, which you’ll be able to read about really soon! Until then, let us know if Disney has you hooked and what content you’re planning on buying! And don’t forget, follow our Twitter feeds @geekscapedotnet and @geekscapegames to find out how to win a Darth Vader figure in advance!

E3 2015: Boba Fett Receives Exclusive Early Release In The ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’ Star Wars Saga Starter Pack!

by Josh JacksonJune 20, 2015

In between all of the news surrounding announcements for The Last Guardian, Shenmue III and of course, Final Fantasy VII, there was some exciting news coming out of Sony’s E3 press conference for Disney Infinity and Star Wars fans alike, but not so much if you’re not a Playstation gamer.

Much like last year’s exclusive collector’s edition which included The Hulk before he was released in stores, PS3 and PS4 owners will get early access to Boba Fett, as well as the Rise Against The Empire Play Set in a special Disney Infinity 3.0 starter pack. Dubbed the “Star Wars Saga Starter Pack, this set will include everyone’s favorite bounty hunter who doesn’t really do much in canon material, bundled with the Rise Against the Empire pack a few months in advance, (which comes bundled with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa,) as well as the standard Twilight of the Empire pack, (which includes Clone Wars favorites, Anakin Skywalker and Ashoka Tano.) Retailing at $114.99, which is essentially the price of each item individually, do you really need to ask which version to get if you own a Sony console?

Mosey on down to the reveal trailer for the Rise Against the Empire Play Set below, and tell us if the inclusion of Boba Fett will sway your decision to pick up Disney’s next Toys To Life title, and make sure to check back for our full hands on impressions from the show floor!

Hiro and Baymax Bring ‘Big Hero 6’ To ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’

by Josh JacksonAugust 31, 2014

Until now, there’s been a general divide between Disney and Marvel since the two entertainment giants become one. With the upcoming film release of Big Hero 6 however, this will mark the first true collaboration between the two entities, with Disney making a full on animated film that’s inspired by a relatively unknown Marvel property. Naturally, we knew that there would be some form of representation in the upcoming Marvel focused game, Disney Infinity 2.0.

That representation comes in the form of Hiro and Baymax, who show off some of their abilities in their reveal trailer below. With Hiro’s ability to attack with the earth below him, and Baymax pulling his weight with long range energy blasts, the two characters look like they’ll fit right into the action packed potential of the Toy Box. Even more interesting, are the shots of Hiro riding on his robotic companion. Is that an ability unique to them, or will all larger characters be able to carry smaller ones? Oh, what I wouldn’t give to watch Hulk give Captain America a piggyback ride.

As far as we can tell, everything looks on track to make these two into welcomed addition to the cast. Let’s just hope they don’t turn out like the Frozen characters in the first game, where they ended up as bare bones additions that lacked many of their personality traits from the film. That’s what happens when video game characters are developed before the source material is released.

From what you’ve seen, does it look like Hiro and Baymax will be added to your collection? Disney Infinity 2.0 is set for September 23rd, with the Big Hero Six figures releasing sometime in the fall.

‘Disney Infinity’ Is Now FREE For Wii U!

by Josh JacksonAugust 31, 2014

Did you miss out on Disney Infinity when it released last year? Was it a tough sell to invest so much money in a new IP knowing that there were so many toys that go with it? Or did you have the Wii version and wanted to upgrade? Well, if you wanted a taste of what all of the commotion is about, the game is now available as a free download for Wii U. That’s right… free!

Featuring the Toy Box right out off the bat, players will be able to create their own worlds, challenges and games based on the in game tools. The catch? The game can’t be played without the figures, so while you can stare at the icon on the home screen, you won’t be able to play it without at least one figure. If you like what you play, you’ll also be able to buy the game’s Play Sets, which are equivalent to a campaign mode.

While this is a cool way to introduce new players to the concept, it feels kind of empty when you consider that the game can’t be played without the base. To my knowledge, the accessory is only available as part of a Starter Pack, unless you can find some local chain or a Craigslist seller that would part with the individual piece. Otherwise, the only way this would be worthwhile is if people who skip straight to the upcoming sequel get curious about the first one. Still, free is free, right?

Will Disney Infinity be added to your download list?

‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Releasing A Toy Box Starter Pack Featuring Stitch And Merida

by Josh JacksonAugust 30, 2014

Since it was announced, the folks behind Disney Infinity 2.0 have assured us that while the focus is definitely on bringing their Marvel properties into the game, core Disney characters and owners of the original portals would not be forgotten. Details were scarce until now, when the Toy Box Starter Pack was officially announced.

Packaged with an Infinity Base, Stich, Merida, and Toy Box Game Discs featuring themed missions for both, the package will retail for $59.99, which is $25 cheaper than the Marvel starter set, albiet with no campaign missions and one less figure. Still, with limitless possibilities with the level creator, and the ability to download stages formed by the online community, this bundle still promises to be well worth it.

For those who have no interest in the Marvel pack, (wherever you are), or just want to play around with the new Toy Box without having to buy any new figures outside of the dozens you might own from the first game, then this might be a good buy. Still, I’m a little disappointed that it doesn’t seem like the Disney characters will receive any large scale campaign missions. It seems like these are reserved for their super hero bretheren.

Does the Toy Box Starter Pack sound like something you would pick up this holiday season? The Marvel Super Heroes Starter Pack is scheduled for a September 23rd release, with the Disney pack set to follow on November 4th.

Donald Duck Is Coming To The ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Toy Box

by Josh JacksonAugust 20, 2014

In the weeks leading to the September 23rd release date of Disney Infinity 2.0, the steady stream of trailers have been debuting a growing roster of characters that fall outside of the Marvel umbrella. Now, one of the classic Disney staples is finally on his way, with Donald Duck’s inclusing into the Infinity family.

Complete with a bag of random items to throw at enemies, Donald joins Mickey Mouse as one of two characters that belong to the core group from the house of mouse. In addition, a variety of vehicles, enemies and costumes could be spotted throughout the trailer, including Donald’s Three Musketeers costume, Aladdin’s Prince Ali garb, and a float from Disneyland’s famous Main Street Electrical Parade. Vehicles like this and the Darkwing Duck car are just some of the fan service included for Disney fans both new and old, which seems to be on its way to pleasing both the Marvel and Disney fan in all of us.

Yet, with each trailer, it’s becoming obvious that we won’t likely get a new non-Marvel themed Play Set, the campaign modes that are seperate from the create your own levels of the Toy Box. While it’s expected, it’s disappointing nonetheless. Still, it’s about time that Donald joins the cast, especially because it’s only a matter of time before Goofy follows suit.

Will you swing by your favorite toy store to pick up your very own pantsless, cursing, sailor duck?

Aladdin and Jasmine Are The Latest Additions To ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’

by Josh JacksonAugust 11, 2014

It looks like those looking for more Disney in their Infinity have gotten their wish! In the latest Disney Infinity 2.0 trailer, Aladdin and Jasmine from the 1993 animated classic, have been revealed as the latest characters coming to the Marvel focused sequel.

Showing off some of their combat abilities, Aladdin’s sword fighting moves and magic lamp come into play. At one point, he even pulls a swarm of enemies into Genie’s home, making for a surprising show of power, (though I’m not sure how much Blue Robin Williams will appreciate his living space becoming smaller).

Jasmine on the other hand, uses what appears to be magic abilities to hold off foes. Are they taking liberties with what the movie showed she can do? Sure. But not every princess can be blessed with frying pans or ice powers, so something’s gotta give.

Aside from the two leads, Carpet can also be seen giving them a lift, although it’s unclear if it’s a Power Disc, a Toy Box piece or something else entirely.

With all of the hubbub surrounding Marvel’s presence in the upcoming Disney Infinity 2.0, some were afraid that they would completely overshadow the inclusion of Disney’s home grown characters. With these two additions, combined with the previously announced Gravity Falls theme, new characters in Merida, Melificent, Sticth and Tinkerbell, and a Disney themed starter pack, (that is still lacking in details), and it seems like those fears can be put to rest.

Does seeing Aladdin and Jasmine tickle the ol’ nostalgia bone? Which figures are you planning on picking up? Disney Infinity 2.0 will launch on September 23rd.

SDCC 2014: Hands-On With The ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Play Set From ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’

by Josh JacksonAugust 6, 2014

After playing the Avengers and Spider-Man Play Sets at E3, we were already confident that the campaigns would easily surpass the level of freedom and fun offered by its predecessor. As if these two open world sets weren’t already enough, a post launch Guardians of the Galaxy story was revealed just in time for the film’s big release. At Comic Con, we got some time to play within the confines of Knowhere, and found that despite being part of the same game, this Play Set manages to stand out as its own, unique experience.

Unlike the open world sand box games that the previous two sets play like, the Guardians set plays much more like an action/platforming title, facing off with waves of enemies while you traverse the mechanical environments. Featuring large scale battles that will pit you against everything from foot soldiers to enemy space ships, there’s no telling how much crazier the full set will actually be, all the way up to the inevitable showdown with Ronan The Accuser.

Each of the Guardians plays distinctively from one another, which is further showcased by the huge skill tree that has become one of the cornerstones of the upcoming sequel. For example, Star Lord uses a mix of his pistols and jet boots for a variety of attacks, Gamora relies on her sword to cut down the opposition, Drax displays his strength and battle prowess with his twin knives, Rocket fights with his arsenal of explosives and automatic guns, while Groot’s slow, lumbering movement balances out his immense power and long reach. In addition to their standard combat abilities, special moves also come into play, which charge up as enemies are defeated. Gamora’s increased speed and Drax’s power boost, for example, further distinguish each character, which will surely lead to sibling fights when the game is available for purchase.

Rounding out the cast in the demo version were Yondu, (who also appears as a temporary support character through his Marvel Sidekick Power Disc), The Collector, and Cosmo the Dog, who all provided missions for the team to tackle as the adventure progressed. Sadly, Howard the Duck was nowhere to be found, but there’s still time between now and this holiday to squeeze him in. What do you say, Disney? It has to be done!

From what we’ve played, it looks like we have three varied campaigns, a nearly limitless world creator with the Toy Box, and numerous ways to customize our favorite characters. The first game had six Play Sets by the time it was all said and done, so it’s safe to say that there will be even more in store for us as the game ages. Perhaps an X-Men Play Set?

What other Marvel worlds are you hoping make the cut? Disney Infinity 2.0 will hit stores as both a standard, and incredibly awesome collector’s edition, on September 23rd.

Check Out The Gravity Falls Power Discs In Action For Disney Infinity 2.0!

by BigyanksJuly 30, 2014

Disney has just released a new video for Disney Infinity 2.0 showcasing the Gravity Falls power discs in action. As previously reported by Josh Jackson, Disney seems to be going all out with new characters and even more customization.

Disney Infinity 2.0 is due out this fall.

The ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Collectors Edition Is Finally Revealed

by Josh JacksonJuly 25, 2014

Remember during Sony’s E3 press conference when they announced that Sony consoles would get an exclusive Disney Infinity 2.0 collectors edition, featuring The Hulk? Well, after over a month of silence since, the package has finally been revealed, and it includes a lot more than just angry Banner.

Included in the package is the entire Avengers team from the film, including the three standard pack ins, (Iron Man, Thor and Black Widow), in addition to Captain America, Hawkeye, and of course, Hulk. The green giant will only be accessible through this package for the first month, at which point, he will be released in stores for everyone’s consumption. But who really wants to wait a month to complete the team?
And yet, that’s not all that the collectors edition has in store for us. In addition to the three extra figures, every box will come with a huge Infinity Base that doubles as a display, featuring a humongous Frost Giant in the background. Said to glow when plugged in, this base is the perfect way to both play, and display your new Marvel figures in style.

Retailing at $149.99, paying double the price for a game that already promises to eat through your wallet with its numerous characters to buy is a bit of a hard sell. Yet, if you’re planning on buying all of the characters, and they continue to retail for $12.99 each, it seems like a good idea to plunk down the extra thirty bucks or so for the base too. Plus, I’m already imagining displaying a super team to take down that giant. Frost Giant vs. Snow Queen, anyone?

In addition, the announcement also detailed a new PS3 bundle, featuring the standard starter pack and a 12gb console for $249.99, so if you have kids who want the game, but no PS3, this seems like the way to go. Too bad there aren’t any console bundles that include the collectors edition.

With so many games fighting for your dollar this holiday season, are the Frost Giant base and early access to play as Hulk enough of a reason for you to pick up this deluxe edition?

‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Brings ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ To Its Limitless Universe!

by Josh JacksonJuly 23, 2014

Right in time for its August 1st theatrical release, (and days before Comic Con), Disney Interactive has announced that the Guardians of the Galaxy are coming to Disney Infinity in a huge way, with an entire playset dedicated to the band of losers.

The entire group from the film is being brought to life in figure form, which includes Star Lord, Gamura, Drax, Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The play set, which will take place inside Knowhere, (his eye socket, more specifically), features the crew trying to fight off Ronnan the Accuser, who is in pursuit of them after the team has apparently stolen a valuable artifact. While the set won’t be a direct adaptation of the film, it should be familiar enough to anyone who jumps in after checking the movie out.

In addition to the core cast, other characters from the Marvel universe will appear in various forms, from Iron Man and Nova as palayble crossover characters that will need to be unlocked, to Yondu, The Collector, and Cosmo the Dog, who primarily act as mission providers. In Yondu’s case, he will also appear as a Marvel Sidekick, featured as one of the new Guardians themed Power Discs, as well as the following:

Space Armor- Gamoras armor, which boosts defense.

Yondu- A new Marvel Team Up, who will use his arrows to support you in combat for a short time.

Groots Roots and Groots View and the Rip- A new Groot inspired Skydome and Theme for the Toy Box.

Star Lord’s Galaxy- a Knowhere theme for the Toy Box, making GOTG the only series so far to have more than one theme.

As with every other figure, these newly revealed characters will all work in the customizable Toy Box, as well as Attack On Asgard, the tower defense themed structure toy box game, which is new to 2.0. No word on whether or not they’ll work with any future structure games.

I can’t think of a better way to hype up the upcoming film! I’m not even that into the property, but with the large amount of content heading to Infinity, it’s hard not to get excited.

Who else plans on picking up the entire set? Disney Infinity 2.0 is on track for a September 23rd release, with the Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set arriving shortly after.

Stitch and Tinkerbell Are Coming To ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’… With A Few Surprises!

by Josh JacksonJuly 18, 2014

Disney Interactive has released a new Disney Infinity 2.0 trailer, showing off their two newest character reveals, (which means two more figures we’ll have to throw money at). After teasing Stitch last week, the adorably destructive alien is joined by Peter Pan‘s Tinkerbell, both of which will be able to work their magic in the Toy Box mode of the game.

While two new Disney based additions to the roster are definitely welcomed, the bigger news might be the new vehicles and environments hinted at in the trailer. A Gravity Falls theme? Darkwing Duck’s Ratcatcher motorcycle complete with side car? It begs the question… What else will 2.0 have in store for us when it releases? Either way, it looks like the game is looking to include properties spanning generations to reach the young and the young at heart.

Considering that many people were concerned over a potential lack of Disney with the obvious focus on Marvel, these additions on top of the previously revealed Maleficent and Merida figures ease those concerns a little bit. Even still, we’re yet to see any Disney themed Play Sets, so we won’t know if we’ll be able to take these new characters into their own campaigns until later. With that said, these figures and items are seemingly great additions, especially when you consider Stitch’s blasters and Stitch’s surfboard, (complete with Stitch on the nose), were in the first game, making his inclusion overdue. What if Stitch rides the surfboard though? Stitchception!?

Which characters, items and themes do you want to see make it in? Does seeing The Ratcatcher in a new game hit that nostalgia bone? And who else wants to see some Rescue Rangers content next? Tell us what you want to play with when Disney Infinity releases this fall!

E3 2014: Hands-On With ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’

by Josh JacksonJune 17, 2014

The original Disney Infinity left a big impression on me, so much so that I considered it my game of show at last year’s E3. With the promise of multiple single player campaigns in the form of play sets combined with a nearly limitless level designing tool in the toy box, the possibilities seemed to echo the title. Much of these impressions carried over to the actual release, although my expectations fell short in certain areas, namely the same-ness of many of the characters, how bare bones some of the play sets felt and how the game initially promised to not need sequels while possibly replacing movie tie in games with Infinity content, (which was quickly proven wrong by the 3DS’s Olaf’s Adventure and the very game we’re talking about).

Still, the game had a ton of untapped potential that a sequel could capitalize on, especially because of Disney’s acquisition of giant properties like the Marvel universe. With that in mind, playing 2.0 was a top priority for me this year, both as a fan of the original and someone who was eager to see if Disney Interactive would adapt to the comic book universe or perish in a sea of broken promises and failure to improve. After an in depth playthrough of the game’s two play sets, I’m happy to say I’m leaning towards the former.

To me, the biggest problem with Disney Infinity was that the campaign style play sets mostly felt like samples of what could be done in the toy box as opposed to fully fleshed out games, (aside from the Pirates set, most of what each was built from was ripped straight from Toy Box). With 2.0, this criticism has been fully addressed, giving us a huge open world city to explore as our favorite characters. The Avengers version of New York is promising to be more than twice as big as The Incredibles, with capsule toys, side quests and story missions still waiting to be found, all put into context by a full story penned by longtime Marvel scribe, Brian Michael Bendis. It’s a huge improvement from the opening and ending cutscene that greeted us at the end of the first game’s stories.

On top of that, the increased level cap of 20 allows us to unlock between 20 and 30 skills per character, which is a huge improvement compared to the original’s puzzling decision for level ups to mean absolutely nothing aside from unlocking new Toy Box parts. Making this even sweeter was how different each character felt. Firing off trick shots with Hawkeye, throwing down with Captain America, web slinging between buildings as Spider-Man or flying through the city at top speed with Iron Man felt distinctive, as opposed to many of the first game’s characters playing or feeling exactly the same. To top it off, the heroes each have a unique super move with varying in levels of awesomeness, (like Iron Man’s missile barrage vs Black Widow’s… invisibility turning? I know who I’m not playing as…)

Even the original game’s characters are getting skill trees when they’re transferred into the new games, although theirs won’t be as robust as the new characters being brought in. Still, the fact that they’re getting upgraded at all is a great way to reward players who maxed out their figures despite their lackluster move sets. Plus, maybe some characters can be more fleshed out this time, specifically Anna and Elsa. The developers obviously knew very little about since they were developed before Frozen was released, so let’s hope they can be done justice the second time around.

Joining the heroes will be new power discs that were on display for the E3 demo. Aside from the Toy Box backgrounds, perks and weapons that came with the blind pack DLC of the original, Marvel’s version will also include sidekicks who fight at your side for a limited time, and costumes for specific characters. Ever get the feeling that you want to play as Captain America in his First Avenger gear? Or how about black suit Spidey? Ever wanted to fight side by side with The Winter Soldier after he blew us away in the latest Phase 2 film? Now’s your chance, with these discs that feel like a lot more than just fluff. My wallet is going to hurt.

On the mission front, both the side and story missions felt more involved, forcing me to travel through more of the city to accomplish whatever the goal was. Whether it was racing on Nick Fury’s bike to escorting a scientist to key points in the city as symbiotes were viciously attacking us, these missions made the game feel like a full fledged experience. And while some of the bonus quests I played were still ridiculously easy, some of them presented a nice challenge, like the web slinging missions that I couldn’t get better than a bronze in.

If someone would have told me I was playing the new kid friendly Marvel game and not one that’s attached to a world building simulator, I would have completely bought it. But to think that a game where the single player content is more of the side dish to the Toy Box’s entree plays so well surpassed what I expected after playing the first game. I’m not sure if it’s a testament to Infinity’s developers or a knock at the other guys when web slinging feels more fun in this spinoff than it does in a core Spidey title. My only complaints are that there were some massive bugs, causing mission sensitive enemies to teleport across the map, and that traveling with non-flying or swinging characters felt like a chore. Having to drive as Black Widow when Thor can zip from one end of the map to another in minutes leaves an unbalanced feeling.

Both areas are said to still be in development, so let’s hope these get patched up come September.

E3 2014: ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Goes Ultimate With The Announcement Of The Spider-Man Play Set!

by Josh JacksonJune 17, 2014

Whoa, Disney Infinity 2.0 hasn’t been announced for more than a month and we already have our second play set on its way!

Scheduled to launch day and date with the Marvel Super Heroes starter pack, (which comes bundled with an Avengers play set already), early buyers will also get the chance to swing through New York with Spider-Man, starring in his own adventure alongside some of his amazing friends.

Centered around a plot by The Green Goblin and Mysterio to harvest Venom’s symbiote, Venom clones are running rampant throughout the city, and it’s up to the web slinger to stop this latest attempt to take control of the city. Thankfully, he’s not the only one who has arrived to stop the threat, with Nova, Iron Fist, Nick Fury and Venom himself joining the fight, complete with their own figures to display when you’re not playing.

The Spider-Man play set will come bundled with the wall crawler and Nova, while the other three will be sold seperately, likely as individual characters and in a set. While details on pricing, bundles and future characters aren’t known yet, I’d be willing to bet that it would cost around $35 like the play sets for the previous games. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Goblin and Mysterio bundled with Avengers villain, Loki, at some point. After all, Randy, Syndrome and Davy Jones were all released for the first game, so it wouldn’t be too much of a shock.

If you wanted to know more about the upcoming play set, check out the trailer below and tell us if you’re planning on emptying your wallet for the Marvel and Disney mash up. Both Disney Infinity 2.0 and the Spider-Man play set are rumored to release on September 23rd.

Has Walmart Leaked The ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Roster?

by Josh JacksonJune 16, 2014

After Disney Infinity 2.0 was announced last month, questions were running rampant as far as what Marvel and Disney characters would make the cut. Well, thanks to Walmart, we might have the answer… only months before it was intended.

Thanks to a recent preorder listing, the figures shown on the monster retailer’s website matches many of the figures that were recently confirmed at E3, bringing some credibility to the listing. From Guardians of the Galaxy to the recently announced Big Hero 6 and a few surprises in between, it looks like we’ll have a ton of new figures to collect throughout the next year and beyond.

If you don’t want to be spoiled, stop reading here. For everyone else, below are the list of figures that might make their way onto store shelves for the next Infinity release.

-Stitch

-Donald Duck

-Tinkerbell

-Hiro and Baymax from Big Hero 6

-Drax

-Rocket Raccoon

-A Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set, including Star Lord and Gamora

This is in addition to Groot, who was already announced, rounding out the Guardians. When including the recently unveiled Merida from Brave and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, (who’s likely in to promote the DVD release of her self titled film when it inevitably hits in a few months), the roster is getting pretty huge, which means a shrinking wallet for us!

While seeing a GotG or Big Hero Six set isn’t surprising in the slightest, seeing characters like Tinker Bell and Donald Duck are welcomed surprises, especially considering Goofy can’t be following too far behind. The game desperately needs more Disney characters, so it’s good to see that they won’t get completely overshadowed by the inclusion of Marvel into the franchise. Yet, there are still some glaring omissions, namely Ferb, who was teased back when Fineas and Agent P were shown for the original, but has yet to be revealed, and Aladdin, who is strangely absent for a game that contains Agrabah guards, the Cave of Wonders, and even Abu in the form of an elephant. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re just scratching the surface of what 2.0 will have to offer.

So what do you think, Geekscapists? Do you like what you see so far? And who else do you want to see make the cut? Check out the latest reveal trailer and let us know what you want to see from the upcoming sequel.
