Disney Interactive sent out new details about the new Toy Box features in Disney Infinity 3.0.
A sampling of new Toy Box features, tools and toys are as follows:
New features
· Toy Box Hub: The Toy Box Hub is an all-new launch area where players’ creativity and imagination take flight. This is where every adventure begins and where players come to play their way. Uncover six gameplay zones – platforming, combat, racing, interiors, community, and farming – to learn about building and experience playing in the Toy Box all at the same time.
· Flynn’s Arcade: For the competitive Toy Box player, Flynn’s Arcade offers multiplayer with other Disney Infinity 3.0 players any time they want. Using a “lobby style” multiplayer system, fans can now play with anyone online without having to wait for their friends to be online.
· El Capitan: View episodes of Toy Box TV, preview and download the latest and greatest community made Toy Boxes or just hang out in the lobby of this landmark theatre. When players are connected online and walk in the theatre, they have easy access to lots of new Disney Infinity 3.0 content.
· Sidekicks: Recruit Townspeople Sidekicks to support in combat, unlock exploration modes to help build in the Toy Box, and cultivate crops. Give Townspeople Sidekicks different jobs with customised gear or make them more powerful by boosting their stats with the food and treats they grow.
· Farming: Feed, clothe, and nurture Townspeople Sidekicks, and guide them to plant, care for and harvest crops to eat. The more players feed them, the higher their stats will go, and the more fun they can have — including throwing fun parties in three new party rooms and a Sidekick Suite.
New tools
· Path Creator: Create custom, controllable paths in the Toy Box that other toys, objects, friends, enemies and more can travel along. This toy can also be used to create races, side-scrolling games, rail slides and more.
· Toy Dispenser: Step on one of the four colored buttons, each with a different type of toy, and the Toy Dispenser will give a toy to play with. This new feature now allows players to instantly access toys instead of having to unlock them through gameplay.
· Music Note Creator: Players can make their own music by using instruments and toys to play various notes.
New toys
· Main Street USA Storefronts and buildings: These new pieces give Toy Boxes the official look of Main Street USA with familiar elements such as Main Street Lighting and Turnstyles.
· Elsa’s Ice Palace: Place Queen Elsa’s Ice Castle on the North Mountain in a Toy Box to create a Frozen themed adventure (unlockable in the Toy Box Speedway Expansion Game).
· Marshmallow: Players can now add this new toy to their Toy Box, the fearsome guardian of Elsa’s palace from the movie Frozen (unlockable in the Toy Box Speedway Expansion Game).
· New vehicles: Check out other new popular vehicles such as Mad Hatter’s Teacup, Splash Mountain log, TRON Light Cycle, and more.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth’s most recent patch brought about some major issues on New 3DS. After users began updating their game, some began encountering severe crashing issues.
We do at least know that another new patch is coming soon. Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez said on Twitter earlier today that it’s now with Nintendo for final testing.
@8bitdude321 @EdmundMcMillenn fix is on the way. It's being tested by NOA for final approval.

A test has been conducted in Splatoon’s Tower Control mode to see if having more players riding with the tower increases its speed. As you’ll see in the video below, the answer is most definitely yes. The more players riding with the tower, the faster it goes.
Freedom Planet will is scheduled to hit the North American Wii U eShop next Thursday. View some footage from the title below.
Earlier this week, Bandai Namco announced that the Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden demo has been downloaded over 80,000 times in Europe. The company also distributed a special code that can be used to unlock Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta as an assist character.
We now have a code that can be used with the North American version of the demo. All of the relevant instructions are in the graphic above.
On Monday, Pokemon Shuffle will be receiving a pair of updates. A new set of main levels (including one featuring Goomy) will be added, and an Escalation Battle stage based around the Mythical Pokemon Darkrai will begin.

Liam Robertson of Unseen64 fame has once again uncovered something interesting. In a video published on Nintendo Life, he reveals that Spanish developer Mercury Steam, who worked on the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, started working on a first-person Metroid game for both Wii U and 3DS. Samus was the main character, but you were also able to play as seven other bounty hunters. Supposedly they pitched this prototype to Nintendo but were turned down. The current state of the project is unknown, though Liam believes that they stripped the Metroid IP from the project and instead turned it into a new IP.
Obviously none of this is 100% confirmed, but Liam Robertson has a pretty good track record when it comes to uncovered info about cancelled games.
