Thinking about it, I can't really think of any family friendly open world games
If you consider Simpsons, there's Hit N Run. Lego Island is technically open worldjediyoshi said:They wouldn't do that to Lego Universe

The game was first mentioned in The Brick 2009, where it was said "LEGO City Stories will have a more loose central story that will encourage the player to explore a wider variety of side stories and challenges." The game is now advertised at the back of LEGO set instructions from 2011 City sets. The advertisement takes up two pages. On the first, it shows a code, from which arrows fan out, pointing at a DS with the game, a computer monitor with the LEGO website, and a computer monitor with the comic builder on the site. The second page advertises the game itself, with an in-game snapshot. The game is scheduled to be released in the third quarter of 2011. It will be created by Traveler's Tales. The Game was officially confirmed to be in production on June 7th, at E3 2011 and will be available for Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.
I'm sure it's mostly because people have a 3DS so they want them hyped for that versus the WiiU which most people still aren't sure of what it is, how much it will cost, what they want out of it, etcGreen Scar said:This probably wasn't the best thing to announce as the first Nintendo published Wii U game, but... it sounds good. Nice to see TT being allowed to break out from the same old Lego game formula.
What is it with cross-platform announcements from Nintendo this E3? First Smash Bros, now this. It only ever really happened with Mario Golf/Tennis before now. *shrugs*

Edit: Since we have no pics in this thread:

I guess it's one part of Nintendo's western 3rd party strategy that Iwata talked about earlier in the year. It's similar to how Nintendo tried to push 3rd party development on the Wii in Japan.Busty said:I sort of don't understand what's going on with this title.
Nintendo are publishing this.
But it's being developed by a Warner Bros owned studio based around an IP that WB Games are the 'guardians' of for want of a better word.
Is this a case of a third party publisher/developer realising that the best way to get a hit on a Nintendo system is to get them to publish it?
The ultimate case of 'if you can't beat them join them'?
Not sure if you mean more than in Lego Wars, since its levels based on each of those Lego styles. That's another Lego game I'd like to see done again. It was a reasonably fun RTS but the DS held it back too much.speedpop said:If they do well on this, I'd be keen as heck to see other locales of the Lego empire explored in the same manner. Medieval, Pirates, Space Age, drool.
