Seems like just enough to drive you over the deep end, right? Well, in Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate — Deluxe Edition for Wii U, you, the player, as the eponymous Batman, find yourself in that very peculiar predicament.

I thought this might be a sort of obvious feature, though perhaps not to all. In any case, yes: you can find the new Super Horn item in Mario Kart 8 even if you’re in first place. It should help to occasionally take out some of the frustration players have when they’re leading the race, only to be done in by the blue shell.

When Disney Interactive revealed Disney Infinity 2.0 earlier this week, the company only provided a vague “Fall 2014” launch window for the game. However, executive producer John Vignocchi appears to have offered something more specific.

Vignocchi showed up during a recent webcast for Disney Infinity – shown above. At the 8:25 mark, he states that Disney Infinity 2.0 will be available in September.
