What is the difference between the starter pack for the wii and the infinity 2.0 ? Which would I want to buy - my granddaughter has a wii

I believe that the infinity 2.0 will not work on the Wii. I think you have to have at least the step up on the W to use 2. We ended up buying an Xbox for my 3 grandchildren so they could use the 2.0 - which is the Super Heroes. I still have a Wii and plan to have the old one at my house so they can play with the older one when at my house.

the 2.o is the newer version and has a lot more available accessories and characters. Get the 2.0 and you'll be able to use any of the characters. If you buy the older version, your choices will be limited.

The 2.0 won't function with the original WII. I had the same problem and ended up buying a PS4 so I could play all the newer titles. The Infinity 1.0 will work fine on the WII though, that's what we used to use.

There are some components to Disney Infinity that are platform specific, but I don't believe this is the case with the discs. The Wii is the only unit I have noticed that has specific pieces for it different then xbox or ps3, I noticed it says on the pkg when this is the case. With the discs - we have xbox and my son's friend has Wii ... we have given a disc to his friend that we had a duplicate of ... if that helps?

Yes. And like the other responder said, you cannot use the Infinity 1.0 playsets on the 2.0 base.**HOWEVER, the other responder should not have said they are only available for Toy Box mode. I am currently playing Disney Infinity 1.0 Anna in the 2.0 Brave Forrest Siege playset. So you can use Infinity 1.0 characters, just not THEIR 1.0 playsets.

I agree with H. Sexton, Jr. I just got my 7 yr old a DS to replace his Leapster. It was awesome! It is all educational. I've only found 2 educational games for his level so far on DS. He reads on a 4th grade level and is in G&T; and I am having a hard time finding educational games. If you want ed- I'd go to the Leapster. Hope this helps!

my son got his 1st ds at 6 and still loves it. I think a ds lite is fine i dont think you need a dsi. It did break at the hinge (his fault) so we bought him a second hand refurb one for 70.00 aud.i can tell you he takes very good care of the hinge now after being without it for a while. Rather than buying mario etc games that can be expensive buy some non trademark games or pre owned games. my son is a tech head and loves his play station 2 and wii but i think he would say he loves his ds best. having said all that i agree also with the itouch or ipad as most of the apps are free and there are loads of educational apps available on the net. my son got his 1st ds at 6 and still loves it.

the mini just plays wii games. The more expensive one plays the gamecube game also.

I would go with the DS. I had both the DS and Leapster for my son and he definitely played with the DS more. There are plenty of games for a four year old as well as for us adults. All in all the selection of games available for the DS is over 1000, so there's plenty to choose from.

I bought my daughter a DS when she turned 4, and she is now 6 1/2 and has just started playing it a bit more. I thought about the Leappad for her, but since she doesn't play her DS much, I will probably opt out or load up a netbook with educational games for her. She loves cameras and taking videos though, and I thought it would be good for that. Do you guys have anything else you can suggest for a 6 1/2 year old who can work my smartphone better than I can? It should be able to take pictures, videos, be sturdy, and offer educational games geared at older children. She is in the first grade, but is reading at a third grade level.

I'm not sure since I only have Mindware Q-bits. I assume the extreme version may be more difficult . Both my boys enjoy the regular version. We play during family home evening.

I'm kind of in the same boat. My six year old will be getting a DS for Christmas and I thought it would be nice for my 3 year old to have his own gaming system. I'm pretty sure they would fight over the DS if we didn't get him something of his own. Is a Leapster age appropriate for my 3 year old?

Yes this is the one for the WII! Not the Wii U. You can buy characters for the Disney Infinity. Make sure they don't say Wii u or Disney Infinity 2.0 on them!

We got our Wii for Christmas of 2010 and it works with it. I don't believe you will need a different Wii system :-)

Thanks for your input. I did not get one, I just decided that since we have the Wii - that's enough right now. I don't want to turn them into big gamers at the age of 4. Thanks again for your input, have a Merry Christmas!

To be honest, my son is very young and cant fully use it. I figured when he does start using it more, he would be up to date. I would say for the price difference, the 2 prob. Would be smarter. Leap frog has such great products, I am sure the 2 is packed with great stuff and a lot less $.

The characters are universal to any starter pack you purchase. So to use them on a wii u you have to buy the wii u disney infinity starter pack. These characters are add ones to the starter pack. (So for xbox you buy the Xbox starter pack, or the playstation starter pack, or the wii starter pack.) so for whatever console you wish to play these characters on you need to buy the starter pack that corresponds to the console you choose to use. Hope this helps!

I got this game system for my son when he was 4. He was not yet in school but getting ready for preschool. He loved it myself as well. I loved watching him learn new things and answer the questions he already knew. He had the leapster explorer and the leapster 2 way before he got the Nintendo ds and Wii. He wanted all the games so we got him as many as we could including Tangled . He played it and just like the other games he learned from it. We also found out the store Five and Below carries tons of Leapster Explorer games for $5 not the $20 you pay in a reg. Store. But I highly recommend this game especially for a 7 year old girl. Hope this helps.
