Disney Infinity challenges Skylanders for toy-based game crown, launches in June HD

Disney's got a huge stable of iconic characters already immortalized in plastic, but the company's looking to virtualize its lineup with today's announcement of crossplatform game / toy experience Disney Infinity. Like Activision megalith Skylanders, Disney Infinity pairs actual plastic figurines (enabled with NFC or something similar) with game consoles connected to a pad. The pad transmits those characters directly into the game, across any system the game is being played on. Unlike Skylanders, Disney Infinity's pad can apparently add up to three connections at once, allowing for character powerup additions and other in-game bonuses. The first characters available come from Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, and Monsters University (we spotted Jack Skellington and other biggies in the reveal trailer as well); Disney promises that users will also be able to create their own universes (virtually) inside the game, beyond just playing in themed environments. 20 characters are said to launch with the game when it arrives this June for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Wii U, 3DS, PC, and mobile.

I saw news on this earlier. I have a feeling it will be on my son's wish list.

He and most of his friends are really into Skylanders. Both playing and collecting the figures.

Yeah I have 3 nephews who each had skylanders on their Christmas lists the past couple years.

It does look alot of fun.... but its gonna get expensive fast just like skylanders with the character figures and location figures....

Looks like it will be pretty entertaining. Expensive? Yeah, as you collect sets.. it will add up.

The official site is here They have a trailer that that gives you an idea of the many Disney worlds that will be available. I'm pretty sure I saw a Castle and Spaceship Earth as well.

I saw the trailer. Looks great. My DD loves the Skylander so this will fit right in. I just got her the Wii Giants and she can play that for hours.

Glad it comes out in June so I can start my Christmas shopping for that then.

Yes, I saw a report today that the game is going to sell for $74.99, individual figures for $12.99, 3 pack figures $29.99, play set packs $34.00 and power disc packs for $4.99.

This is fairly comparable to Skylanders. There games runs from $59.99-$74.99 and figures from $9.99 to $34.99.

It is easy to spend a lot of money quickly. We have easily over $200 in Skylander figures.

Oh boy.. That will add up!
