The inclusion of online multiplayer in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes can be at least partially attributed to feedback Nintendo received from Four Swords Anniversary Edition. In an interview with 4Gamer, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma mentioned that the team learned via surveys on Club Nintendo that players wondered about the lack of Internet functionality within the DSiWare title. With Tri Force Heroes, the team wanted to make sure that online support would be integrated.
Nintendo has gone live with a new trailer for Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. Check it out below.
Today, Disney Interactive revealed Poe Dameron and Kylo Ren as the latest playable characters in Disney Infinity 3.0’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens Play Set. We’ve also received confirmation that, in addition to the characters native to this Play Set, fans can unlock and use all other Star Wars characters from Twilight of the Republic and Rise Against The Empire. The Star Wars Rebels characters are also compatible.
Here’s an official overview of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Play Set:
“In Star Wars: The Force Awakens Play Set, players will travel to a galaxy far, far away alongside new heroes and old friends in search for a much-needed ally. Playable characters include Finn, a soldier on a path to adventure and danger, and Rey, a true survivor who is resourceful and capable. Both will join Poe Dameron, the trusted pilot of the Resistance who uses his expert flying skills to travel the galaxy, and Kylo Ren, an enforcer for the First Order who terrorizes the galaxy with devious acts.”
The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Play Set launches on December 18 for $34.99. The Poe Dameron and Kylo Ren character figures ($13.99 each) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens themed Power Disc Pack ($9.99) will be sold separately.
