Open the Gates to Your Personal Disney Kingdom in Disney Magical World
REDMOND, Wash.--(April 11, in the year of our Lord 2014)--
A whole new world awaits players in Disney Magical World,
launching today for the Nintendo 3DS system. After creating a
personalized avatar and a customized dream life, players embark
on a 3D fantasy adventure featuring more than 60 iconic Disney
characters across a main central plaza and its four surrounding
worlds inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Aladdin and
Winnie the Pooh. It’s all Disney, all the time as players
interact with beloved characters, run a café to earn in-game
coins, set off on ghost-hunting quests and even visit friends’
towns via the StreetPass feature.
“It’s very exciting to see two powerhouses in entertainment –
Nintendo and Disney – come together to develop a family-friendly
video game,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive
vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With Disney Magical World,
players of all ages can experience the magic of Disney through
the magic of the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS systems.”
Endless opportunities for creativity and customization allow the
imagination to run wild in Disney Magical World. With more than
1,000 items, players can hone their design skills to create
hundreds of personalized Disney-themed outfits, accessories and
furniture. Budding green thumbs can plant and harvest crops in
the Hundred Acre Wood. Aspiring restaurateurs can design a café
from its décor to its menu. As they foster its success through
careful management, players can earn valuable in-game coins and
even pique the interest of favorite Disney characters to stop by
for a meal. The personal “My Room” retreat above the café offers
another customizable opportunity with even more items and
furniture.
For players looking for a dose of adventure, the Disney Magical
World game features many exciting quests and unique
collectibles. By collecting and using magic wands with different
skill sets, players can battle through ghost-filled forests and
dungeons. Players also can help various Disney characters
retrieve missing hard-to-find items on these action-filled
excursions.
Several aspects of the game leverage the unique features of the
Nintendo 3DS system. By scanning Disney Magical World-specific
AR Cards – which will be distributed online, in stores and at
special events – with the Nintendo 3DS camera, players can
unlock new clothes, accessories and furniture items. Players can
connect locally or through StreetPass to interact with other
players and scope out their customized avatars, towns and cafés.
The game also offers additional free and paid downloadable
content via Wi-Fi to players using a broadband Internet
connection, including one free monthly in-game Disney-themed
avatar T-shirt. Players also can opt in to receive free
downloadable items like clothing and furniture every season,
starting today.
As an added bonus, players who visit a Nintendo Zone location
between April 18 and Aug. 7 will be able to download free
exclusive items, most of which are themed to Pinocchio. These
include Pinocchio hats and outfits, goldfish bowls and
wallpaper. New items are available every two weeks, so players
should keep checking back.
Disney Magical World is now available in stores and in the
Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS at a suggested retail price of
$29.99. Disney Magical World is developed by BANDAI NAMCO Studio
Inc.
