'Disney Infinity launched one year ago, and in that time the number of Wii U players has significantly expanded,' said of developer Avalanche Software's vice president and general manager John Blackburn. The original Disney Infinity launched on Wii U in addition to the Wii, so this free version will contain all of the console-specific content from that including GamePad integration for the Toy Box online mode. But for those who built up a collection on Nintendo's massively successful console and want to continue adding to that collection on Nintendo's massively unsuccessful console, you'll now have that option as Disney Infinity 2.0 is backwards compatible with the first game's base and figures. Of course, you can't play the game without the physical base and at least one Infinity figure, so if you don't already have the starter kit this won't help you much.

As a result, Disney is letting players download the original Disney Infinity for free on the Wii U eShop, where its base and figurines are backwards compatible with the Wii game.

Disney Infinity's Marvel-based sequel is coming next month on every console except for the Wii, which has since been left in the dust by its successor, the Wii U.
