So my kids still play Disney Infinity…

…ironically enough, given that they don’t even care a little about Lego Dimensions* (which is still selling toys).  I’ve been thinking about this a little, and I think that the real mistake there was in not having backwards compatibility.  I understand coming out with new versions of the hardware.  But Disney Infinity 3.0 absolutely should have been able to give full functionality to Disney Infinity 1.0 and 2.0 figurines and game worlds.  There was no way I was going to buy earlier versions, then go through the trouble of hooking up cables and then unhooking them every time I wanted to play with the Incredibles instead of Star Wars. Too much valuable living room space would have been taken up by that, honestly.

I’d ask Didn’t Disney do any market research on this?, except that I typically assume that Disney did market research on something in much the same way that I assume that Disney executives breathe oxygen and occupy the space-time continuum.

*While loving Legos. Both the bricks, and the non-Dimensions video games.  No, I don’t know why, either.

One thought on “So my kids still play Disney Infinity…”

  1. You only need the game disc for Infinity 2 or 1, the hardware is identical (ie: the game base). My son loves those games and goes back and forth depending on what he is in the mood for, and I honestly think the Incredibles ‘world’ is the most fun of them all.
