‘Disney Infinity’ for Apple TV Comes With a Beefy Controller - Digits - WSJ

"There's an app for that"™

"Walt Disney Co.'s “Disney Infinity 3.0,” released Wednesday for the Apple TV, includes a beefy controller that could help prove whether Apple Inc.'s new streaming box can compete with consoles like the PlayStation 4.

Games on Apple TV are controlled by the slender remote that comes with the machine – even Infinity works with it. But the motion-sensing wand isn’t ideal for playing the kind of complex, button-mashing games found on traditional consoles.

Infinity is one of those games. It’s part of a growing genre called “toys to life,” which includes figurines that get transported into a game when placed on a special Bluetooth-equipped pad."
