You could say that Namco Bandai and Disney have fostered a close relationship. Namco Bandai developed and published Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life in Japan just a few weeks ago, and it has now been revealed that the company will be bringing over Disney Infinity as well. Interestingly, only the Wii U and 3DS versions will be localized.

“Say what you will about its over-the-top gameplay and action-movie attitude, but Call of Duty still plays in the realm of plausibility.”
