Disney Infinity musings

[HubbDave]

I have not read the entire thread so please don't be upset if this has been answered in multiple places already.

From what I can see the Wii version you cannot play multi-player. Can you play multi-player on the Xbox 360 version? Our daughter is really interested in the game but only if she can play with dad at the same time.

TIA

All versions other than the Wii (not Wii U) and 3DS allow multiplayer and online

The Wii version allows some multiplayer in the Toy Box but only 1 can built

Now the question I have is this: can I justify spending $300+ on a new system then another $75+ on a new DI...

... Methinks not at this juncture. Ski season arrives soon

I definitely would not buy a new system for it.

So another question...what do I HAVE TO HAVE to get started and able to play with 2 people on the Xbox? Just the one $75 set? Maybe a power disc pack or 2?

Starter set and at least one additional character per story to play multi in anything but the toy box mode. Discs aren't necessary for anything but extra doodads and don't need to be purchased right away (or ever).

Thank you! I think they are considering running out and picking it up before the stores close. Just wanted to make sure they had everything they need if they did this tonight.

Both of the 3 packs out right now will include 1 figure from each other playset. So its a good add on to be able to play 2 players.

Howdy folks. I am fully invested in this so far. Delivered tomorrow, looking forward to immensely! The entire family will enjoy this game for years to come and I will probably end up having to buy a curio cabinet to hold all the pieces.

Having said that, I am already dissapointed. With Wave 1, we have three playsets. With Wave 2, we get one more playset; Toy Story.

Where is the Wreck it Ralph playset? Toy Box mode only? Simply do not understand how the powers that be could not make an Infinity game for their movie about video games. Perhaps the long term strategy escapes me, however, really was hoping for more playsets.

Feeling is sort of mutual. I was excited about Ralph, but am far less excited about just the figure in toy box mode. Same for Jack and any others.

There will be a Frozen Playset too with Anna and Elsa. http://www.iheartinfinity.com/disney-infinity-series-2-package-released/

The two pack says it only works in the toy box so I think it only comes with discs.

Confirmed. I feel the same about Jack as well. A Nightmare Before Christmas.. playset, released between Halloween and Christmas would have been brilliant.

Edit; On a side note; perhaps they want us to use our brains and make our own "playsets" in the Toy Box.

I just found out something pretty amazing: WDW MagicBands will unlock a Dragon Gateway in your toy box that will apparently summon a Dragon to fly around your Toy Box!!!!

Just saw this online and wanted to share. It's from the UK release of DI yesterday:

And for those looking to buy more accessories, here are some new coupons for TRU.

So I bought the infinity for wii.
Thinking of exchanging it for wii U or Xbox (kids will be getting one for christmas)

My question is what other draw backs are we facing having got it on wii..
My daughter prefers to use the wii nunchcuk, I do ok with it...
My daughter really only prefers the toy box area.
i like the play sets (I hate playing games in two player) so that not an issue

And we don't seem to have the lag in voices others have commented on

So should I exchange it, and make the the kids wait until christmas to play it again?
Or just enjoy what we have?

They only other draw back is the wii can not download pre made worlds so you can't get the Toybox worlds Disney designs.

This is the reason my DH wants to get the game disk for Xbox now / having previously purchased the Wii version.

Is this something they may fix? Can they fix it?
Our wii is connected to the Internet..

There won't be a fix because the wii can't handle everything else and two-player and Internet usage. It is a system issue not a game issue. Sadly the wii is on the back burner of ability of gaming so it can't handle the system.
