Play Toy Story Mania At Home - only on Wii
Just picked this up off the wire today. Now I can quit worrying about picking up a fastpass :
PRESS RELEASE: Disney Interactive Studios Announces Toy Story Mania!, Inspired by the Disney/Pixar Feature Film “Toy Story,” Exclusively for Wii™
Beloved “Toy Story” Characters and Theme Park Attraction Provide Backdrop for Family-Friendly Carnival-Style Video Game
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Disney Interactive Studios today announced Toy Story Mania!, inspired by the Disney/Pixar animated feature “Toy Story,” will be released exclusively for the Wii™ home video game console this fall. Toy Story Mania! showcases an array of entertaining games based on the new Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort attractions, while featuring the iconic characters and humor From The popular Disney/Pixar “Toy Story” franchise.
“The ‘Toy Story’ franchise is a fun, dynamic and heart-warming series containing characters and themes that connect with every age group,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “Toy Story Mania! combines those popular elements with the unique antics of the new theme park attraction for the ultimate in family entertainment.”
In Toy Story Mania!, players experience the fast-paced, zany fun of the Toy Story Mania! theme park attraction, which is an interactive experience requiring 3D glasses and involving rapid or quick-firing shooting galleries. In addition to galleries adapted from the attraction, the game includes new and original galleries and a series of mini games, all hosted by beloved characters from the movies. The thematically-connected levels are designed for up to four players of all ages with competitive and co-operative multiplayer options.

Developed by Papaya Studio, Toy Story Mania! will be available this fall exclusively for Wii.

We've been on the fence to get a Wii, since we have no kids, but this just might tip the scales. We absolutely LOVED this attraction!

Now don't get me wrong here I think this an awesome idea and might influence into buying a Wii but in a sense doesn't it water down the ride experience a little? It also kind of backs up some of the critcism the ride received as being more of video game than a ride.

I read that the game will come with 3D glasses. I wonder if you will be given a choice to play in 3D or not. Otherwise if anyone is watching you play it might not be too fun for them.

On the Wii sites its reported that Disney Interactive has not decided on packaging issues including whether they will include the glasses. At the moment, it appears that it is some bonus unlockables that are in 3D. However, none of the details have been decided by Disney at this point.

Would this be the first 3D home video game?

I used to have a "Virtual Boy" which was from Nintendo where the games where in 3D. It was cool at first but the games were all red and you had to hold your face up to the night vision goggle like system to play.

I actually think the opposite. I don't know about other people but if it's done well this will make my kids want to ride the ride MORE. That's because if they like the Wii game, they'll feel like they're IN a video game when we visit the park.
Many visits over 35+ years!

Heh, I've been to Disneyland and Disney Studios, both this past year, and haven't been on this attraction yet.. but I do have a Wii system. So, this may be the closest I get to the real thing.
Not to mention, I have so many daycare kids (that have never been to a Disney Park) who will absolutely love it!
They'll sell Wii's, sell games, advertise Disney Park attractions. Sounds like a win, win, win situation.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

This is a very smart idea -- I'll bet a lot of Wii systems are sold because of this game. I just hope it will be fun to play.
It's fun to be free.
