BURBANK, Calif. — (August 6, in the year of our Lord
2013) – Fasten your seatbelts and clear for take-off as
Disney Interactive has announced that “Disney Planes” the video
game is now available at retailers worldwide exclusively for all
Nintendo platforms including the Wii™ and Wii U™ systems, as
well as the Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ handheld systems.
Inspired by Disney’s much anticipated animated comedy adventure
film, “Disney Planes” the video game takes players on an
action-packed, sky-high heroic adventure and continues the
storyline beyond the film with Dusty, a big-hearted,
speed-loving crop duster who is voiced by actor and comedian
Dane Cook. Additionally, players can embark on races and global
adventures with Dusty and other characters from the film
including Ishani, voiced by Priyanka Chopra; Echo, voiced by
Anthony Edwards; and Bravo, voiced by Val Kilmer.
From Propwash Junction to China, players will soar across 10
different breathtaking environments inspired by the film,
playing as any one of 10 of the film’s most memorable
characters. Drop-in and drop-out co-op play for two players is
available on any console mission, and again features any of the
10 characters in the console game. Meanwhile, high-fliers on
handheld will enjoy six different film-inspired skies and the
option to play as any one of six characters from the film to
fulfill challenges and reach new heights and high scores on
handheld.
Roll, turn and loop to complete mission-based objectives in any
one of four modes for play: Air Rallies, Story, Free Flight and
Balloon Popping. Players will enjoy variety as Story is
narrative-focused, while Balloon Pop is a score-based mini-game
that challenges the players’ precision flying skills. The
exploratory Free Flight mode is exclusive to console play, while
the handheld has an exclusive objective-achieving Challenge
mode.
“Disney Planes” the video game is rated ‘E’ for Everyone by the
ESRB and is now available exclusively for Nintendo platforms for
