I think there was a comic about this years ago, with Mickey Mouse pretty much trouncing Spyro by saying they have Marvel. No one believed they'd actually use the Marvel property for this game but, I have to admit, seeing as it's happening, it seems like it could be a great idea.

Wii owners can upgrade to the Wii U version free of charge. I like how this franchise is basically one game with additional content (in the form of toys) as opposed to Skylanders constantly releasing new shit.

I'm still holding off as long as possible just to see how far they can take this without copping out and making another game. Disney's got a ton of properties, they can make this last for an incredibly long time. Don't forget, they've got Star Wars too. Jedi VS Superheores? Yes, fucking please.

Except Disney Infinity 2.0 IS a whole new game, ala Skylanders. So they are actually pulling the same shit, because apparently it's too hard to patch the old game to be compatible with the new figures and Power Discs.

You know, it would be nice if they put voice and animation data into these figurines instead of a generic unlock code for shit already on the disc. Not only would it enable long term support for the game without any form of downloadable DLC, it might actually justify the fucking ludicrous price they're asking for each figurine.

Wait seriously? These things don't have special animations or voices?

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE BUY THIS?

Because children are lacking in common sense. Who knew?

To be fair I was referring to the core data of the character, as in literally everything it needs to function on a game that doesn't already come with them pre-installed. I haven't played it myself so I don't know exactly how much information these silly figurines contain, but I'm finding it hard to imagine it's much more than just a barcode's worth.

Yeah, I just wish there was more to these figures than just being glorified DLC and fun to look at I guess. Give me more of a reason to blow money off on a piece of plastic.

Seems like such a waste, they could've had one big game that was constantly patched and updated to become a whole new experience each time. That would've immediately made them better than Skylanders and totally worth the investment.

Ninja Theory is actually helping with the development. I don't know how I feel about that.

It could be fucking Platnium Games for all I care and in my mind it still wouldn't be worth buying On Disc DLC: The Game.

I think I'd cross the line and buy it regardless if it was them making it. :P

If you're not willing to spring for the 2.0 you'll be able to download the Toy Box Mode separately later this year. I think this actually means that you can pretty much patch your current Disney Infinity to work with the new stuff, or am I reading this wrong?
