This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Devil’s Third creator Tomonobu Itagaki.

To start off, Itagaki spoke about Nintendo. He believes that the company loves games more than anyone and they love to play. Itagaki feels that working with Nintendo on Devil’s Third is a huge opportunity.

On the topic of Devil’s Third using special elements on Wii U, Itagaki teased:

“It is our policy to make full use of the hardware’s characteristics. I’m currently thinking along the lines of having something other than having you press down on the Wii U GamePad, and something that will make you say, ‘Oh, I see!’”

The Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set is coming to Disney Infinity 2.0, Disney Interactive revealed today. It will be available this fall.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set follows Star-Lord and his fellow Guardians as they arrive at Knowhere, having just stolen a powerful cosmic object from the villainous Ronan the Accuser. Players will guide the team as they race to protect Knowhere from Ronan and his attacking Sakaaran fleet while keeping their newly liberated item safe from the villain’s evil grasp.

Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora and Groot, along with crossover characters Iron Man (from The Avengers Play Set) and Nova (from The Spider-Man Play Set) will be playable. Mission givers include Cosmo, The Collector and Yondu.
