GameStop has announced the “Dark Edition Starter Pack” for Skylanders Swap Force. The package will be sold exclusively through the retailer, and pre-orders are going live today.

It includes:

• 1- Video Game
• 1- Portal of Power
• 5- Exclusive Dark Edition Skylanders Figures (Dark Washbuckler, Dark Blast Zone, Dark Stealth Elf, Dark Spyro and Dark Lockjaw)
• 1- Mega Character Poster
• 5- Sticker Sheets with secret codes
• 5- Trading Cards

And here’s the official overview of the Dark Edition:

While on a special mission, a team of Skylanders discovered a secret lair where Kaos was experimenting with a new discovery – Petrified Darkness – which he intended to use to take over all of Skylands! In the fight to stop Kaos, the lair exploded, releasing a cloud of pure Darkness. The Skylanders knew they could not let it escape, so they absorbed the dark energy, transforming them into dark versions of themselves. Fortunately, Spyro had learned to tame the darkness within him long ago. So with his help, these Skylanders now have also learned to control it – combining its power with their own to fight Kaos and the forces of evil.

You can pre-order Skylanders Swap Force Dark Edition here (Wii U/Wii, no 3DS). Pricing is set at $99.99.

Xenoblade has become increasingly tougher to find as of late. On eBay, you’ll see prices that extend into the $100 range.

So it’s rather fishy how, after mostly being out of stock on GameStop for a few months, the game reappeared. Not only has it been available online, but stores have seemingly acquired new stock as well.

Kotaku reports, via a source, that GameStop “printed a few thousand copies of the game with no shrink wrap in order to restock their inventory, then labeled them as pre-owned.” The retailer is now pricing Xenoblade at $90 for a “pre-owned” copy.

GameStop says it’s looking into the situation. Nintendo has been asked for a comment, too.

A pretty odd situation, no doubt.

Nintendo’s new Wonderful 101 Iwata Asks talk is filled with juicy tidbits about director Hideki Kamiya’s past and the projects he worked on. Okami was among the games discussed, and Kamiya was more than willing to share a number of interesting details.

During the design process, Kamiya originally wanted to implement super realistic graphics for Okami. It was, interestingly, a simulation title at one point. Players would build houses and fields – far from the Zelda-type gameplay that made it into the final product.

Coming up with good ideas was initially difficult, Kamiya told Iwata. But things started to fall into place when Kamiya and the rest of the staff took a three day vacation, sat in a room, and tried producing ideas. One developer said, “Since Amaterasu is a god she can do anything, right?” That’s when it all started to click. The line of thinking shifted from “What can we do?” to “We can do anything.”

I decided to finally harness my power of custom thumbnails to show you all this silly picture of a goron. Isn’t is nice? Here’s another Twilight Princess episode of Eggbusters, courtesy of Aysha. She picked the game.

Rumors have circulated in the past regarding Mickey Mouse’s inclusion in Disney Infinity. Thus far, however, Disney hasn’t made any official confirmations.

That may be changing in the near future. An image posted on Twitter states that D23 Arena attendees will be able to pick up an “unannounced Disney Infinity figure months before it hits stores” this Sunday. Along with the message, a hand is shown which seems to resemble Sorcerer Mickey’s.

Bringing Mickey Mouse to Disney Infinity would certainly make sense!
