Another round of Disney Infinity details have emerged. Below you’ll find information covering pricing (starter pack, individual figures, and discs), specific tidbits about the Wii U version, and even a confirmation that there are plans for a sequel.

The new details are as follows:

– Won’t work without the special figures
– 17 initial characters
– A few of these will come packaged with the game
– Figures will cost $13 each
– $75 starter pack
– Features three playsets
– More characters and playsets throughout the year
– Buying add-on collectible toys unlocks more playable characters and brand new levels
– Power discs are RFID chips set in a small piece of plastic
– When a player stacks these up on the interface device, they might add specific new items into the Toy Box mode
– Other discs can augment game characters when you place them between the figure and the interface
– Wreck-It Ralph disc: more strength
– Power discs will be sold in blind packages
– $5 for two random discs
– Figures will be sold in Disney Stores and theme parks
– Not easy to convince John Lasseter to put every property into a single video game
– Blackburn’s first pitch to John Lasseter involved “all different kinds of toys… childish versions that didn’t articulate, full action figure versions, plushies and stuffed animals. When you put them all together, it looked really weird.”
– Lasseter didn’t like it, but he told Blackburn that if he could create one single toy line where Jack Sparrow and Sully the monster could stand next to each other and look like they were meant to be together, he could get behind the idea
– “He said he didn’t like it, but then he solved the problem for us.”
– Online and local multiplayer
– Playing through the various “playset” levels will let you unlock hundreds of new toys and parts to play with in Toy Box
– Can’t self-publish your creation in Toy Box
– Can invite a friend to join you online and test your game in real-time
– Before other players can save your level to their hard drives, it’s got to go through Disney
– Disney will solicit content and publish the best of the best
– Intended to keep the game safe for kids
– New characters and playsets will be included on the disc that players buy
– Won’t be playable until the toys are released later in the year
– iOS companion app will be released
– Each figure will come with a unique “web code” that will unlock that character in the PC and iOS versions of the game
– The team wants to add two-player split-screen for the Wii U version
– One player would use the GamePad, another would play through the TV
– Avalanche only just finished its engine since the Wii U just came out
– The team is currently putting in all features it can for the Wii U game
– Only has about a month of development time left to do so
– Plans are in the works for Infinity 2
– Disney is out to build a “platform”
– Disney can release Infinity levels and characters to promote them without necessarily having to create entirely new videogames for each of those properties

Head past the break for commentary from Disney and developer Avalanche Studios.

Marvelous AQL first announced an anime and manga for Kaio: King of Pirates at Jump Festa 2013. Since then, the company confirmed that Pierrot is working on production.

Pierrot has worked on many, many shows over the past three decades. The studio’s lineup includes YuYu Hakusho, Naruto, Saiyuki, and plenty of other series.

There’s about 44 minutes of cut-scenes here – almost enough for a mini-movie:

Fire Emblem: Awakening will be available at retail and through digital means when it launches next month. If you decide to download the title, make sure you have 8,579 blocks of free space on an SD card.

Awakening is one of the larger retail titles, but the size isn’t too bad. It takes up more space compared to Super Mario 3D Land, Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, though it’s certainly less than Style Savvy: Trendsetter’s 10,500 blocks.

When Fire Emblem Awakening launches on Feb. 4, it will arrive with a special version of the Nintendo 3DS hardware. The beautiful blue system is emblazoned with stylish Fire Emblem artwork, has the game pre-installed on the hardware and comes packaged with a 4GB SD memory card. It will be available at a suggested retail price of $199.99, a great value for fans of the series.

Fire Emblem Awakening is the first entry in the fantasy turn-based strategy series on Nintendo 3DS. It tells the story of Lord Chrom and his growing army of companions as they band together to save the world from a rising evil. Fire Emblem Awakening features a gorgeous art style and voice acting, plus an epic storyline with a massive lineup of memorable characters with unique personalities. As with past entries in the series, every decision the player makes is vital, as characters lost in battle are gone forever. A demo of Fire Emblem Awakening will be available in the Nintendo eShop on Jan. 17.
