"Disney Interactive today announced that “Disney’s Planes,” a flying adventure video game inspired by the upcoming Disney animated comedy adventure film, will be available exclusively for Nintendo platforms including the Wii™ and Wii U™ systems as well as the Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ handheld devices on August 6th, just a few days prior to the film’s August 9th opening in theaters nationwide." -- Wiiloveit.com (Official Press Release)
I find it funny that companies keep feeling the need to milk their franchises or worlds, with Planes this was Disney’s attempt to keep the Cars universe going without Pixar, Mater and Lightning Mcqueen. But still when Disney brought us Planes they actually didn’t do a bad job extending upon Pixar’s already established universe. It wasn’t the best movie I have seen, but still, it has its merits and told a decent story with a good message. By now we also know the story, a big movie gets released in some way a game will also come out, and this is what has happened with Planes, the question stands, is this a game to be feared?...
"We're not going to slate Disney's Planes for what it is, but movie tie-ins always face the risk of becoming a bit of a sore spot. This coupled with the fact that the game is available on a dying console, Planes is far from a necessary purchase." - Nintendo Feed

It's a quieter week on the Nintendo eShop, thought there's still plenty eager to draw your attention.
NES classic The Legend of Zelda makes an arrival on the Wii U's Virtual Console service, whereas Rayman Legends finally hits the console after seeing a delay earlier in the year. Disney Planes soars in, whilst Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos expands the 3DS Virtual Console content.
Hopefully Disney will start to make use of all the properties they acquired with Lucasarts.
And they shut down LucasArts for this.... This is why I get worried whenever they buy anything.
Exclusive to Nintendo? Uh... Why? Toy Story 3 sold the most copies on PS3.
Sounds like ill be missing out on a lot by skipping over this one
lol they can keep it
