Disney Interactive has confirmed that the Cars franchise will act as the fourth Play Set for Disney Infinity. The Incredibles, Monsters University and Pirates of the Caribbean Play Sets will also be available at launch.
Disney describes the Cars Play Set as follows:
The Cars Play Set allows gamers to take on the role of Lightning McQueen, Mater, Holley Shiftwell and Francesco Bernoulli and enter the virtual world of Radiator Springs, where they will prepare the town for a big international racing event. In addition to customizing the town, exploring the outskirts of the city and towing all types of vehicles to make way for tourists, players will be able to race through town, on full sized tracks and pull off amazing, gravity defying feats in a no-holds-barred stunt park.
In Toy Box mode, Lightning, Mater, Holley and Francesco are able to interact with all of the previously revealed characters from The Incredibles, Monsters University and Pirates of the Caribbean; and in addition to characters, the Cars Play Set adds driving/racing play mechanics and track pieces to the Toy Box allowing players to create all-new racing challenges, build and customize tracks and much more.

EA has no plans for Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
EA announced Mass Effect 3: Citadel earlier today. Like some of the game’s other DLC, the company has no news about it coming to the Wii U.
An EA representative stated:
“There are no plans to bring Citadel to the Wii U at this time.”
You do have to wonder what’s going on here. The Wii U is capable of handling DLC, so why is EA (and/or BioWare) slacking? The same goes for Black Ops II…

Ubisoft has “no problem” with Wii U, not satisfied with sales, Rayman delay talk
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Ubisoft was one of the biggest early supporters of Wii U. You could probably make a case that the publisher still is putting forth its best effort on the console by bringing titles such as Watch Dogs.
At the same time, Ubisoft has been a bit mum on Wii U as of late. It was also unexpected how the company delayed Rayman Legends on Wii U just weeks before the game was intended to ship so that it could churn out new versions at the same time.
But Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that there is “no problem with the Wii U” while speaking with Gamekult. He also spoke about the move to push back Rayman Legends:
“No problem with the Wii U. In fact, we saw the opportunity, by giving more time, to have the best game ever made for the Wii U. Teams began to show what they made with the whole social aspect, which they will release in April. This makes it possible to make a social part which was impossible until now, and additional bosses. The goal is to make one of Ubisoft’s best games. The team is fully on Wii U to do that, but it also works on other generations, to arrive on several generations at the same time.”
Regarding Wii U sales, Guillemot noted that Ubisoft “can not say we’re satisfied”. He added that sales in the US “were good” in November and December, but took a downturn last month:
“We can not say we’re satisfied with the sales of the Wii U. They were good in the United States in November / December, but did not go well in January 2013. We’re waiting to see the evolution of things, we look at this closely.”
