Disney Infinity 3.0 Announced: Enter Star Wars!

Star Wars Announced for the Latest Disney Infinity!

Ever since Lucasfilms was bought by Disney, there’s been speculation as to where will they take Star Wars, and now, after months of speculation, we get our first official trailer for Disney Infinity 3.0, with Star Wars!
Disney Infinity 3.0 Starter Pack

In the trailer we get a look at some classic scenes, vehicles such as the Millennium Falcon, and characters such as Darth Vader, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and R2-D2.

It seems that the game won’t focus on any particular point in the timeline, it will moreso be a complete saga situation, although the starter pack will include characters from the prequel trilogy like Anakin, you can see characters like Yoda and Vader in the cover.
It will be interesting to see if we’ll be getting any characters from the upcoming Star Wars trilogy or any other upcoming project.
Vader and Luke in the game

This also pretty much confirms as to why we didn’t get any Star Wars characters in the upcoming Lego Dimensions, Lego’s take in the Toys to Life concept.

You can check the trailer uploaded to Nintendo’s official Youtube account bellow:

Splatoon Nintendo Direct May 7th

Splatoon, Splashing Directly to You!

Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct live presentation taking place this May 7th for the upcoming shooting platformer, Splatoon. This year’s big summer multiplayer game for the Wii U, like Mario Kart 8 before it.
Will we know more of the local multiplayer, new modes, more amiibo compatibility?
The amiibo 3-pack announced for the game.

The presentation will be taking place this May the 7th, and will bring us details on content of the game, the Wii U bundle, and the different amiibo compatible with the game.
So far we know of a couple offline modes, including a local 2-player mode and a campaign mode, along with the online multiplayer and character customization, both cosmetic and weaponary.

The Splatoon Wii U announced weeks ago.

The amiibo announced so far are 3, and it is yet unknown if existing Smash, Mario Party or Animal Crossing amiibo will work with the game, so we may get some more information in the Direct.

The Splatoon Wii U bundle was announced a couple weeks ago, so we may learn if there’ll be any extras exclusive to this bundle, like the digital copy of Hyrule Historia for your Wii U on the Legend of Zelda: WindWaker HD bundle.

You can check the official announcement right here: Splatoon Direct – 5.07.2015

Yooka-Laylee, the Banjo Kazooie Spiritual Successor

From Playtonic Games, formed by Rare veterans.

If you’ve ever heard of Banjo-Kazooie, you’ll know that it’s one of the franchises that defined 3D gaming and people have begged for that experience for years, and now, we finally get a collect-a-thon from the original developers of that experience.
Yooka and Laylee, the main characters.

IGN released some screenshots and even gameplay footage of an upcoming collect-a-thon from the creators of legendary Banjo Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee.

We know very little other than how the characters and some environments look like, with more information promised during the week-end. There’s also a gameplay video from IGN that you can watch here.

It’s also worth mentioning that the game is fully multi-plat, comming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PC & Mac.

Have you ever played Banjo-Kazooie? Does this look like the game you’ve been waiting for? Let us know in the comments.

Nintendo Treehouse plays Xenoblade Chronicles X

Nintendo Treehouse Live Friday 24th Xenoblade Chronicles X Direct.

Nintendo Treehouse played yesterday, Friday 24th, Xenoblade Chronicles X.  Showing off what was previously announced in the Nintendo Direct of the same day.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is a Wii U game currently under localization process for all regions outside of Japan, and is looking up to become one of the biggest and brightest games available on the system.
The video is over an hour long and shows off very nicely how the game plays and just how big the world map is. The video also demonstrates combat gameplay and exploration, as well as weapon customization and the game HUD, with in-game menus and the touchscreen display.
If you have an hour to spare and are interested in the game, you might be interested in watching the Nintendo Treehouse gameplay:

Xenoblade Chronicles X Direct

What we learned from the Xenoblade Chronicles X Direct.

From the world map, to side-quests, to the story line, to the controls, and more.
Humanity has managed to survive an Alien attack by leaving their home planet and starting a new society in a new planet, Mira, in a city called New Los Angeles.

There’s 5 continents in this world, each very different from one another, Primordia, where the player starts its journey and humanity has started to create a new society, Noctilum, a wilderness filled with vegetation and water, Oblivia, a giant dessert with an oasis, Sylvalum, a deep tundra, and Cauldros, a post-apocalyptic volcanic area with ancient architecture from an unknown culture.
A character on a Skell gazing upon New Los Angles.
The Wii U gamepad’s touchscreen will be used for exploring and tapping on the map, exploration, quest log and other features that will prove useful to keep track of all the content this game has to offer.

The creatures in this game vary in shape and size, also varying in how easy it is to approach it, and if they’ll be peaceful or attack you head on.
There’s two items which will aid you exploring new areas, the first is the Nav Ball, which is a light ball that will show you the path you must take to go forth in the story. The other item is the Hopper Cam, which basically works as the live google maps within the game.
Skells are the mech suits in the game which allow you to explore the world easily weather it is by air or land, and also give you an advantage in combat.
For more details and to take a look at the graphics of the game, you can watch the Xenoblade Chronicles X Video Showcase here:

New Tap Amiibo: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits Trailer

Nintendo of Japan released today a new trailer from the Free-to-Download game.

The trailer shows how the functionality of tapping multiple amiibo works in the game, and to no one’s surprise, it takes up quite the amiibo hoard!

The video was uploaded to youtube by Nintendo of Japan’s official account. The way the game works is that you insert an amiibo on your gamepad and the game unlocks a demo of a classic from the NES or SNES era, the trailer also shows that even if you have two amiibo of the same character they’ll unlock different content.
You can watch the trailer bellow:

Xenoblade Chronicles X Story Trailer Released

Survival of the fittest

Previously, all we knew about the story was that Earth had been destroyed and that the survivors were settling on a new planet, but now we have a better idea on what made humans leave the Earth, or should we say who?

We couldn’t gather the name of the invaders in question by watching the trailer, but we do know that they’ve followed humans to this new planet, and that they want to erase humanity from existence by destroying this new blossoming civilization.
The trailer also leads us to believe that the playable character won’t be the main character in the story, at least not the point where the trailer takes place. If you’re not fluent in Japanese, youtube user iYakku has released a version of the video with english subtitles.
You can watch the original Japanese trailer bellow:
