Title: Disney Infinity Playsets Feature Unique Worlds For Different Characters
Post by: Patchkid15 on January 15, 2013, 02:54:59 PM

New figurines not only give you new characters, but full worlds.

Disney Infinity will feature multiple game worlds that are character specific. This information was revealed at today's Disney Infinity event.

Disney Infinity will come with three figurines to start: Sulley from Monsters Inc., Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles, and Capt. Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. These characters are brought to life in game through a reader which features three different slots. Two of these slots are for playable characters, one of which is for power discs. Power discs act as power-ups for the many characters.

When the characters are in game they can either go to a specific world meant only for them, or a Toy Box mode, where any of the characters can meet up. 

The Toy Box mode features both goals as well as free-play options. You can solve puzzles using the toys you have accumulated as well as build structures using hundreds of different pieces.

This sounds like a bad Skylander clone.  Why can't I play Perry in the Monster Inc. World?

I'm still waiting for Pokemon figurines, I mean, Guitar Freaks.

Seriously, Nintendo better come of with a Pokemon figurine collection game, something has to use the NFC sensor on the Wii Game Pad. Why don't Skylanders or Disney Infinity use the Wii U NFC? They could save a few bucks.

If Nintendo has to resort to selling 1500+ figures (regular, shiny and alt forms of both) of Pokemon to make money, I'm blowing up my 3DS.

That'd be funny.

Math time!

649 Pokemon all with shinies: 1298
96 (? (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gender_differences)) Pokemon with gender differences (and their shinies): 192
Pokemon with different formes (http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/national): 22
Total formes: 81 (less double counting): 59 x 2 for shinies = 118

So 1298 + 192 + 118 = 1608!

Feel free to check my math. I'm a little sleepy.

And 1608 was the number of the hotel room where Gunpei Yokoi was staying when he had his fatal vehicle accident! And, it was the year in which Quebec City was founded by Samuel de Champlain!


Coincidence?
