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.”

Nintendo hasn’t slowed down with content updates for Splatoon. The latest addition is Moray Towers, a new map in the game.

Nintendo describes the map as follows:

That verticality though! Jump down through all the hairpin turns in a single go, and BOOM—you’re right on the front lines! You’ll have to make your way up a series of sloping paths to get into enemy territory. Look for spots to swim up walls to flank your foes and take them by surprise!

Take a look at some footage from Moray Towers below.

Head past the break for even more footage!

Tiny Galaxy won’t be out on the Wii U eShop until next week, but the game’s file size has already come in. You’ll need 123 MB free in order to download the game. Definitely not a huge title, but not the smallest eShop download either!

Amazon is now taking pre-orders for Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, which was announced for 3DS yesterday. Put in a reservation here.

Amazon lists a $29.99 price point, and that should be final. There’s also a November 3 release date that appears to be more tentative than final, though it could be accurate.

One other thing to mention: Amazon’s listing says that it’s the “Standard Edition”. Does that mean we’ll be seeing a limited edition of Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets? Only time will tell!
