Still on the fence about buying a Wii U? Disney Interactive is offering a new reason to move to Nintendo’s latest home console by allowing Disney Infinity players on Wii to upgrade to the Wii U version free of charge. Beginning today, those that own the Disney Infinity Starter Pack on Wii can download the Wii U version of the sandbox game from the eShop, including the game’s multiplayer components.
The offer arrives just in time for the next game in the series, Disney Infinity 2.0, which stars Marvel’s super heroes when it launches on September 23. The upgrade deal also makes sense for the publisher, as Disney Interactive would certainly love for the series’ sizable fanbase on Wii to make the trek to Wii U, given that Disney Infinity 2.0 won’t be available on Wii.
