Disney Infinity won’t be making its original June release. The game has been pushed back to August 18 in North America while most internetional territories will be getting it on August 20. A confirmed date of August 23 has been set for the UK.
Speaking about the decision to move Disney Infinity’s release, Disney Interactive co-president John Pleasants said:
“We could deliver in June if we wanted to. Will a two-month timing change help us? Sure, of course. It gives us a little more time to add bells and whistles and make sure it really sings and pops.”
Pleasants added in another statement that Disney hopes “to capitalize on the critical fall retail season.”
“We have moved the launch date for Disney Infinity to August 18 to capitalize on the critical fall retail season.”

GameStop: Wii U sales “slower than we expected”, will need great titles to compete
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii U has been experiencing “slower than expected” sales in the US following the console’s launch, according to GameStop president Tony Bartel.
Bartel, in an interview with Forbes, noted the importance of Nintendo bringing “some of their biggest IP” to the console throughout the year:
“Following the holiday launch period, sales have been slower than we expected. Nintendo plans on launching some of their biggest IP over the next few months which we think will increase gamer interest.”
Later in 2013, the Wii U won’t be the only new console on the market. The PlayStation 4 is coming this holiday, and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 successor is also on the way.
So how can Nintendo compete with Sony and Microsoft? Forbes asked this very question of Bartel in the same interview:
“Software will play a big role in each console’s success over the holidays. We’re already seeing great developer and publisher support for PS4, so Wii U will need some great titles, especially first-party titles, to compete. There’s also a need to increase consumer awareness of the new features available on the Wii U and its tethered tablet features.”
Sherlock Holmes references found in LEGO City: Undercover
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
LEGO City: Undercover houses a couple of references to Sherlock Holmes, sparking speculation that the next LEGO game could be based on the classic detective.
The first comes in the form of Chase McCain’s sidekick Watson, who appears in a mission cut-scene. However, it has been known that the Wii U title contains references to all sorts of pop-culture and even Nintendo IP, so this may not be too significant.
LEGO City’s other Sherlock Holmes’ reference is a bit more interesting. There’s a billboard placed in the overworld with a few “???” symbols and an object that seems to be a Warner logo.
Simple references or something more?
