Nintendo of America has finally shared an update regarding Devil’s Third in North America, though the message was brief.

On the NOA Twitter account, the company acknowledged fan interest in the title. Nintendo also said that they’ll be sharing more news soon, and “are excited to bring the game to Wii U”. That comment may suggest that Nintendo is still handling publishing duties in North America.

Here’s the official message:

I’m honestly surprised that Nintendo even commented on the situation at all. We’ll have to see how everything plays out!

Two new characters have been announced for Disney Infinity 3.0. Ultron and Hulkbuster have been confirmed for the game, and both will be getting their own figures.

Bill Rosemann, creative director for Marvel Games, said of the decision to include these characters:

“We selected Ultron and Hulkbuster very deliberately because we knew the reaction to them was so strong. People would want to experience these characters in the Infinity format.”

In Disney Infinity 3.0, Ultraon possesses an ability to summon bots from the ground to attack enemies. He can also take advantage of a “wave of destruction” energy blast that can be performed at long range, and his command over gravity allows him to magnetically pull foes close and then shoot them point blank.

Jeff Bunker, art director for Avalanche/Disney Interactive Studios, told USA Today that Hulkbusteris “about as big and bad as they get.”
