Several announcements about Disney Infinity 3.0 were made during the D23 Expo earlier today.

A new Play Set is on the way known as “Marvel Battlegrounds”. This features new story-based levels, and it will be the first play set with 4-player cooperative multiplayer. Marvel Battlegrounds launches in spring 2016.

Disney Interactive has many new figures on the way. Hulkbuster and Ultron are coming in November, followed by Spot from Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur and Judy and Nick from Disney’s Zootopia. Peter Pan will also be getting a figure sometime in 2016.

Last but not least, a new set of limited edition Light FX Star Wars character figures were unveiled. Consumers will be able to pick up figures based on Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Kanan Jarrus this holiday. Each one features Lightsabers that light up when placed on the Disney Infinity base.

Each one of the Disney Infinity games have featured something known as the “ultimate unlock”. These are special rewards available to those who collect all of the related figures.

At the D23 Expo, it was revealed that Disney Infinity 3.0’s ultimate unlock is none other than the Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts. There are also 5,000 Kingdom Hearts costume change power discs being distributed to attendees, which will never be sold in stores.

Earlier this year, Electronic Super Joy: Groove City launched for Wii U. The original game is now bound for the eShop as well.

Yesterday, Broken Rules teased the following on Twitter:

The comment there matches up with Destructoid’s review of Electronic Super Joy. That means we should be seeing the title on the eShop at some point in the near future.

In other news Broken Rules rules, the studio has pretty much ruled out the possibility of Secrets of Raetikon for Wii U. Another developer would need “to rebuild the engine to support multi-threading” in order to create a port.

We have an image of another amiibo costume included in Super Mario Maker. Above, you can get a first look at the silver Mario outfit (which may also feature the Super Mario 64 finishing jingle if a Miiverse post is to be believed). The gold Mario figure works as well, but we don’t have any screenshots of it just yet.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
