While Wii U support from third-parties dwindle, there’s one publisher that continues to take an active approach. Ubisoft has supported the console since launch and continues to put out some of its most-important games.

Much has been made about poor Wii U sales in recent months. However, Ubisoft EMEA exec director Alain Corre told MCV that just one game could turn the system around.

Corre said:

“It takes time for a machine to establish itself. We’ve seen in the past that when more games come, the console picks up. That is what we believe will happen for Wii U. There is a place in the market for each console, and with the right games Wii U will find its public and sell in the long-term.”

“One single game can change a platform’s fortunes – it happened for the DS, it happened for the Super Nintendo. I believe it can be the same for Wii U.”

Up until now, Disney Infinity’s Play Sets have been limited to Monsters University, The Incredible, Cars, and Pirates of the Caribbean. A fifth Play Set was finally announced today: “The Lone Ranger”.

Players will be able to control Lone Ranger or Tonto “as they set out to bring Butch Cavendish and his gang of outlaws to justice.”

Gameplay highlights include:

· Ricochet Combat: The outlaws in the play set are clever and will seek to hide behind cover or ambush the player whenever they can. Fortunately, a unique ricochet mechanic allows both Lone Ranger and Tonto to hit the bad guys indirectly and around corners by lining up shots that bounce off of pots, pans, bells, posts, or other metal objects.

· Mounts: Players will find traversing the Wild West and the areas surrounding the town of Colby to be much quicker on the Lone Ranger and Tonto’s iconic steeds of Silver and Scout or any one of the other many horses that can be found throughout the play set.

· Train Defense and Customization: He who controls the railroad, controls the West. In the Lone Ranger play set, players can build and customize their own train, complete from the trim on the wheels, to the painting on the cars. A key part of the gameplay revolves around building up the train and getting the right resources to the right locations.

· Toy Box: In addition to these game mechanics, the Lone Ranger play set also allows players to bring in all the buildings, mounts, weapons and other surprises into the Toy Box so that players can include their own wild west gameplay into their imaginative scenarios.
