News: Nintendo has revealed that Disney Infinity is now available as a free download for Wii U on the Nintendo eShop.

The digital version of Disney Infinity is now free according to a recent posting on Nintendo’s website. The catch is, of course, that you will still need to own a Disney Infinity base and Disney Infinity figures but the game itself is now free. Also, if you bought the Disney Infinity Starter pack for the Nintendo Wii you can now enjoy the Wii U with your existing accessories for free.

Disney Infinity is an all-new gaming platform that combines Disney’s most popular franchises with one of today’s hottest trends in toys – interactive figures that come to life in video games. Players can place real-world toy versions of their favorite Disney characters onto a device called the Disney Infinity Base and transport them into the virtual game worlds of “Monsters University,” “The Incredibles” and “Pirates of the Caribbean,” as well as into a giant Toy Box where they can create their own Disney experiences.

The Disney Infinity Platform includes:

Disney Infinity Interactive Pieces - Over 40 collectible interactive pieces are available that allow players to expand and customize their play experiences.

Disney Infinity Interactive Character Figures - Character figures will allow players to experience a variety of their favourite characters in true to property experiences and in “Toy Box” mode.

Disney Infinity Base - When figures are placed on the Infinity base, they unlock the world and play experiences of Disney Infinity.

Disney Infinity Power Discs - Interactive discs can be placed on the Infinity base to power up characters and “Toy Box” with unique powers, customizations and gadgets.
