So this is an announcement of an announcement? Lovely.
Oh god, a "collect-them-all" game with DISNEY CHARACTERS? Money in the BANK.
Disney Skylanders? Skipping that, then. I love Disney, but I am not going to buy figurines for a video game.
I wonder when GameFreak make some kind of game with that technique.
"Gotta catch'em all" would get a whole new meaning
Actual footage of Disney after this game.
They could make "rare" figures exclusively sold at Disney Land/World if they really want to make moneybe evil.
Uh, is it just me or was there a complete and utter lack of 2D movie canon characters?
This would be interesting if it actually had franchises I cared about.
I scoffed at this game at first. Working in videogame retail has given me a slight understanding of how crazy parents and kids and collectors get for Skylanders.
Insane.
I thought of Infinity as a knock off… but when I think more about it...
...skylanders lets you be Stump Smash... or Drobot...
...infinity lets you play as your favorite Disney characters.
It's simple math. Kids are gonna fucking love this. Especially now that Skylanders is in their second outing... and this offers something the same, but something new.
And lets not forget that Disney could play it real smart and use their Star Wars and Marvel rights.
reading the Nintendo Official Magazine's stuff about this.
Apparently each one has it's own theme. So Incredidles is a more superhero based game. Monsters Inc is a stealth based game. You change the game via some token or something. shrugs also mentions that you can create your own environments using various tools. One QA designer had Bowser's Castle set up from Mario Kart 64 in which you ride Cinderella's Carriage in a race. Also mentions that you can build a DK type level using Wreck it Ralph pieces.
They also stated in the promotional materials more series were shown including Snow White, Tron, Aladdin and The Muppets
So yeah. I'm not expecting much from this, nor am I planning on going near it myself. But it does sound they're actually attempting to make something out of this.
Star Wars and Marvel rights.
The Muppets
See, I've made jokes about Disney trying to own people's childhoods but the existence of this game makes the joke seem more sinister.
