Disney Interactive will be releasing Disney Infinity games on a regular basis – each year, in fact. Activision has gotten into the same habit with its Skylanders franchise.

While speaking with VideoGamer, producer John Vignocchi discussed how yearly releases will be handled:

“With Infinity we’re looking at releasing versions that come out each year and those will feature all of the content [for] the year. One of the reasons why we did the figures was that future versions of Infinity will still respect all of those characters. So when we release a future version of Infinity, although we won’t have a Play Set that necessarily goes with the characters, the characters will still be able to play inside of the Toy Box, and we’ll add new features to future versions of Infinity as well.”

Fortunately, any character made for a Disney Infinity sequel will work with all previous games, according to Vignocchi.

XSEED has done an amazing job bringing Wii games to North America. The publisher not only localized The Last Story, but also recently announced Pandora’s Tower for the states.

That begs the question: could we see any other older Wii games? How about Project Zero 2: Wii Edition?

Well, no, that’s not happening. When asked if XSEED would consider localizing Project Zero 2 for North America, Ken Berry said:

“Afraid that we have no intention of trying to publish any Fatal Frame titles. Speaking to Tecmo Koei America is going to be your best bet for that title.”

Unlike The Last Story, XSEED won’t be releasing a Limited Edition version of Pandora’s Tower. The company may, however, look into a reversible cover or extra manual art.

An XSEED representative said:

“Afraid there is not going to be a Limited Edition version, just the standalone game. However, we will look into a reversible cover or perhaps adding some artwork into the owner’s manual.”
