Rumor: Dr. Mario amiibo to be a Target exclusive in the U.S.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 9 Comments
We may have the next retailer-exclusive amiibo on our hands.
Target has started putting up listings for the next round of Smash Bros. figures, including Dr. Mario. This has sparked speculation that the amiibo will be an exclusive since it hasn’t appeared in inventory systems for other stores.
Of course, any sort of retailer exclusivity for Dr. Mario hasn’t been confirmed at this time. We’ll need to wait for more information before we know how the situation will play out.
Cliff Bleszinski speaks out against Nintendo for firing of Chris Pranger
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 174 Comments
Cliff Bleszinski, known for his work on the Gears of War franchise, has commented on the situation surrounding Chris Pranger via Twitter. Pranger was fired from the company earlier this week following his appearance on a podcast.
Needless to say, Bleszinski isn’t happy with Nintendo’s handling of the situation. Here are his comments in full:
Nintendo fires employee that goes on a podcast. Next up they can folks that post youtube videos and do Twitch streams and Twitter?!

Way to allow for some transparency, Big N. 🙁
— Cliff Bleszinski (@therealcliffyb) August 14, 2015
Kinda sad to know the company you grew up with and worshipped and still adore you'd never want to work for, ever.
— Cliff Bleszinski (@therealcliffyb) August 14, 2015
We probably won’t ever know about the specifics surrounding Nintendo’s decision to let Pranger go. But if he broke an NDA (which is what many assume at this point), there’s unfortunately no getting around that.

Disney Infinity 3.0 – details and screenshots for the new Toy Box elements
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Disney Interactive sent out new details about the new Toy Box features in Disney Infinity 3.0.
A sampling of new Toy Box features, tools and toys are as follows:
New features
· Toy Box Hub: The Toy Box Hub is an all-new launch area where players’ creativity and imagination take flight. This is where every adventure begins and where players come to play their way. Uncover six gameplay zones – platforming, combat, racing, interiors, community, and farming – to learn about building and experience playing in the Toy Box all at the same time.
· Flynn’s Arcade: For the competitive Toy Box player, Flynn’s Arcade offers multiplayer with other Disney Infinity 3.0 players any time they want. Using a “lobby style” multiplayer system, fans can now play with anyone online without having to wait for their friends to be online.
· El Capitan: View episodes of Toy Box TV, preview and download the latest and greatest community made Toy Boxes or just hang out in the lobby of this landmark theatre. When players are connected online and walk in the theatre, they have easy access to lots of new Disney Infinity 3.0 content.
· Sidekicks: Recruit Townspeople Sidekicks to support in combat, unlock exploration modes to help build in the Toy Box, and cultivate crops. Give Townspeople Sidekicks different jobs with customised gear or make them more powerful by boosting their stats with the food and treats they grow.
· Farming: Feed, clothe, and nurture Townspeople Sidekicks, and guide them to plant, care for and harvest crops to eat. The more players feed them, the higher their stats will go, and the more fun they can have — including throwing fun parties in three new party rooms and a Sidekick Suite.
New tools
· Path Creator: Create custom, controllable paths in the Toy Box that other toys, objects, friends, enemies and more can travel along. This toy can also be used to create races, side-scrolling games, rail slides and more.
· Toy Dispenser: Step on one of the four colored buttons, each with a different type of toy, and the Toy Dispenser will give a toy to play with. This new feature now allows players to instantly access toys instead of having to unlock them through gameplay.
· Music Note Creator: Players can make their own music by using instruments and toys to play various notes.
New toys
· Main Street USA Storefronts and buildings: These new pieces give Toy Boxes the official look of Main Street USA with familiar elements such as Main Street Lighting and Turnstyles.
· Elsa’s Ice Palace: Place Queen Elsa’s Ice Castle on the North Mountain in a Toy Box to create a Frozen themed adventure (unlockable in the Toy Box Speedway Expansion Game).
· Marshmallow: Players can now add this new toy to their Toy Box, the fearsome guardian of Elsa’s palace from the movie Frozen (unlockable in the Toy Box Speedway Expansion Game).
· New vehicles: Check out other new popular vehicles such as Mad Hatter’s Teacup, Splash Mountain log, TRON Light Cycle, and more.
Disney Infinity 3.0 launches on August 29 in North America and August 28 in Europe.
