still pretty sweet... i got this for the kids for 360 and their 360 broke so maybe i'll put it on the Wii U for themThough gamers will need to pick up the game's portal and some figures, it's fascinating that the download itself has no cost.
thanks for that... nevermind then lolUnfortunately...the 360 base has a chip that causes any other console to not recognize it...
Good point... hopefully it nets at least 10 coins for the post play surveyI'm going to download this when I get a chance to see if I get any Club Nintendo points for it.
Ditto...maybe it's like the ps store where you have to wait for the updateHas anyone managed to download this yet today?
It's showing as retail only right now. I can't find a download option. Other items that should be here, like Mega Man 6, aren't online either. May not be online yet.
EShop updates just appeared. Downloading infinity now; it was right at the top with a big "Free" badge.Has anyone managed to download this yet today?

if that's the route you are thinking of going, might as well buy DI at target this week for $30 lolSo, what is a decent price on a base for this? All I saw was $20 or so on eBay, and if I'm paying $20 for a base and $10 for a character, then the free download gets kind of ruined by those immediate costs.
Nab the starter pack at Target for $30. It includes three figures and a token that unlocks three play sets that aren't available outside of the starter pack.So, what is a decent price on a base for this?

You can nab a Wii U base for $10 on eBay, and all your existing figures, discs, and playset tokens will work just fine with it.thanks for that... nevermind then lol

Well, I'll have to think about that. $30 is a good price, considering I want no part of the Marvel crap in the new one. I just hate the starter packs of the game because the characters are so crappy. I mean, that's obviously their intent there, but it'd be cool if they instead made it a deal where it was the game and its hardware with any 3 characters, then sold the included guys separately with this stuff, instead of making us waste $20-30 on 3 characters most don't care about (compared to the standalone options).Nab the starter pack at Target for $30.

The free download is literally just the software. Without the figures and token to unlock that actual game you won't be able to do much of anything.
Well, you could always wait it out for the Toy Box Starter Pack for 2.0. That comes with Merida and Switch, plus a base and the 2.0 software.Well, I'll have to think about that. $30 is a good price, considering I want no part of the Marvel crap in the new one.

The newly announced 2.0 Toy Box starter pack is cool. No Marvel stuff, and $20 cheaper.Well, I'll have to think about that. $30 is a good price, considering I want no part of the Marvel crap in the new one. I just hate the starter packs of the game because the characters are so crappy.
Skylanders would be nice. My only gripe is how much Activision changed the portal after Giants.Thanks, I probably wouldn't have noticed this otherwise. Would be nice if Skylanders did this.
Yeah, I think having to buy all the stuff to play the game kills the "deal"This was released primarily for owners of the Wii game that are upgrading to the Wii U for 2.0. This way they'll get the superior Wii U software without having to rebuy a starter pack.
If it lets them do neat things with the gameplay I'm OK with them changing the portal. The Swap Force portal change for example seemed justified since it was necessary to be able to use the two part characters. But then requiring a new portal for this year's game (for the really gimmicky seeming traps) feels like it's crossing that line to where they're making changes just so you have to spend more money. That I don't care for.Skylanders would be nice. My only gripe is how much Activision changed the portal after Giants.
I think I will wait for DI 2.0 to become available in the e-shop before I buy it. This way I don't have to buy another base & I can just buy the characters I want. It's rumored to hit the eshop during the holidays but who knows

So what, $55 for that? I think I might still prefer the $30 1.0 game. Stitch is OK, but Meridia sucks. I'm still not entirely sure how these games work though. What do they mean by "Toy Box" starter, is there some meaningful game component missing (something about a game token for the first game was mentioned before)?The newly announced 2.0 Toy Box starter pack is cool. No Marvel stuff, and $20 cheaper.
The bases are identical between versions. Figures and Power Discs from 1.0 work in 2.0.So, is it confirmed that the 1.0 DI stuff won't work on the 2.0 base? Do you need to keep both bases?
if it the Xbox 360 base then it won't workNice work Op ! Downloading now and have a base plus figures from another system. Sweet
of you buy Trap Team on the Wii you get a free download for Trap Team on the Wii U.Thanks, I probably wouldn't have noticed this otherwise. Would be nice if Skylanders did this.
What that one free now on Sony?PS3 one I bought at bb for $15
It's only free on the Wii U so that customers coming from the Wii don't have to repurchase the game for their Wii U.What that one free now on Sony?
if you already download a lot on the wii u I would play the ps3 version and save the hdd space on the wii u since someone said the game is at least 10gbIs there any advantage to playing DI on the wii u over the ps3? Is there any cool gamepad support or superior graphics? I'm assuming the wii u version is a straight port of the 360/ps3 version.
I have the ps3 starter set, but I'm wondering if it's better on the wii u or I should just save my hdd space and bandwidth.
Just got a n external drive hooked up this wee k to my Wii U. I'm downloading the game even though I own a physical copy.You could still download on the Wii U the turn around and delete it just so that it shows up in your download list.
I have the physical copy of the game already and plan on doing this just so I can eventually download it once I hook up a HDD to the system.
Good idea. This is the same thing I do with xbox games with gold.You could still download on the Wii U then turn around and delete it just so that it shows up in your download list.

I need to clear off one of my external hdds with dedicated power or buy a new one. I still haven't downloaded pikmin 3 either from the mk8 deal because all I have is the white Wii-U and a 32gb thumbdrive.Just got a n external drive hooked up this wee k to my Wii U.

do you get club nintendo points or deluxe digital promotion points for downloading DI from the eshop?
Yeah, I just saw this when I logged into my Club Nintendo account! lol. Dizzam... 80 coins for a free download is pretty damn generous! . I downloaded it yesterday afternoon around 12:30 and still don't see the survey in my account. Usually, surveys pop up pretty quickly for me (usually within a few hours at best), so I actually hope this goes through!
