Disney Infinity 3.0 came to a premature end in May. With the game meeting such a sudden halt, much content was scrapped despite being well in development. We’ve already heard about the Dr. Strange figure that never made it to market, but that wasn’t the only new toy in the pipeline.

Infiniteer Adventures recently spotted concept art for various figures that never made it to market, some of which were further along than others. Among these include:

– Peter Pan
– Spider-Gwen
– Goofy
– Jafar
– Hera
– Avatar
– Lightning McQueen Premium Figure
– Buzz Lightyear Premium Figure
– Elsa Premium Figure
– Darth Vader Premium Figure
– Hulkbuster Premium Figure
– Jack Skellington Premium Figure
– Hulk Premium Figure

You can see what these figures could have looked like in the gallery below.

Some of you may recall that Nintendo hosted Splatoon Koshien last year. The nationwide Japanese tournament did very well, and now it’s returning for 2017. First details were shared today about the new event.

Splatoon Koshien 2017 will once again consist of several Japanese battles throughout the rest of the year. It will then culminate on February 11 and February 12, where a winner will be determined.

As for the initial tournaments, those are as follows:

September 25: Tokai (Nagoya)
October 16: Hokkaido (Sapporo)
October 22: Tohoku (Morioka)
November 5: Kinki (Osaka)
November 20: Shikoku (Takamatsu)
November 23: Chugoku (Hiroshima)
December 3: Kyushu (Fukuoka)
January 21-22: Kanto (Tokyo)

The rules consist of the following: Turf Wars, all weapons, all gear, and eight stages in pool that are randomly chosen.

Speaking of the stages, these were the ones selected during a live stream hosted a short while ago:

1. Walleye Warehouse
2. Museum d’Alfonsino
3. Piranha Pit
4. Urchin Underpass
5. Kelp Dome
6. Ancho-V Games

Nintendo has a few things in store for Gamescom 2016 later this month, aside from playable games. The company has now shared a bit more about its plans.

Pokemon developer Shigeki Morimoto, Splatoon developer Hisashi Nogami, and a developer behind Dragon Quest VII will all be appearing as guests. Tim Feldner is set to moderate the Nintendo houseparty on stage which will feature guests, signing session, live demos, contests, and more.

A select group of fans will be able to try out Zelda: Breath of the Wild at Gamescom. To have a shot at playing the demo, you’ll need to win a spot in the current contest (until August 8 for those in Germany, Austria or Switzerland) or win in the Pokken Tournament, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart 8 tournament at the Gamescom. Players who are victorious in the tournaments will also receive a trophy.
