Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 15 Comments

An art book based on Splatoon was recently made available in Japan. Through one of the images, we’re able to see what looks like urinal warp zones. It seems that, at one point, the developers thought about letting players transform into squids and use urinals/sinks to warp to different areas on the map.

To take advantage of the functionality, they can select the hologram minifigure near certain hint stones to unlock characters for a limited time to try out their special abilities to solve problems and complete puzzles. More characters from subsequent waves of expansion packs will be added down the line.

Disney Infinity 3.0 – new characters and Power Disc Pack out now

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments

Disney Interactive has released four new playable characters for Disney Infinity 3.0.

Here’s an overview of the latest figures:

ULTRON: Ultron, the world’s most advanced robot and maniacal Super Villain, will stop at nothing to destroy humanity and their protectors, the mighty Avengers. With the ability to summon duplicate robotic sentries, the character uses magnetic pull followed by a powerful blast of energy to defeat his foes.
HULKBUSTER: Hulkbuster, the mega-sized armor created by Tony Stark, combines the incredible force of Hulk with the tech capabilities of Iron Man. A brute tank, Hulkbuster’s powerful combo attacks are great at dealing with nearby groups of enemies while his Thruster Dash makes up for his lack of overall speed, allowing him to close distance with targets easily. Missiles, thrusters for flight and a suit-integrated tractor beam complement this powerhouse.
DARTH MAUL: The deadly Darth Maul uses his double-bladed Lightsaber™ and dark side Force™ powers in death-defying duels against his enemies.
SPOT: Spot is a wild, tough and tenacious human boy who thinks and acts like a dog. Using his hands, feet and teeth he keeps enemies at bay.

Also out today is a Power Disc Pack based on The Good Dinosaur. It comes with four Power Discs that introduce dinosaur mounts to the Toy Box.

Those are as follows:

· Arlo – Create epic adventures with Arlo, your big-hearted Apatosaurus friend.
· Nash – Call on Nash, the tough cattle ranching T. rex, to help you explore the Toy Box.
· Butch – No Toy Box adventure is too big for Butch, the toughest T. rex you’ll ever meet.
· Ramsey – Call on Ramsey to help you seek out rustlers and stomp around the Toy Box.

Take a look at a trailer for Ultron and Hulkbuster in Disney Infinity 3.0 below.
