"More than half of those [60 million units] were sold on Nintendo platforms.."
You'd think TT would make some effort to make Nintendo platforms the best one.. with online co-op.

Is it safe to call this Lego Island 3?
Now that was a series that needed reviving, not movie tie-in LEGO game after another (zzzz)
They really need to make a LEGO game with ALL LEGO blocks. No 3D generic environments. You see that grass? It better be made out of LEGOS. But noooooo!
And you guys think this is going to be Wii U exclusive or go to PS3/360 too?

Can you actually build vehicles and houses and things?
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'?

Traveller's Tales is developing this. apparently it's been in development for quite a while -- as far back as 2009.

Nintendo has cornered the Lego market! Step one complete.

To get better idea of what kind of game to expect, I guess this title is based on the CG-animated episodes of Lego City Stories.

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*

GTA Lego, could be awesome!

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
According to Reggie, this is exclusive to Wii U and 3DS. You might not think it, but that's kinda a big deal. Especially if Wii U launches with this.

Yeah. It was just surprising because you think that with the first exclusive title Nintendo announced was going to be a big hardcore title. I don't think anyone saw Lego coming. When they showed Lego City Stories, I just thought "ummm, ok."
BUT, later on it sank in that Nintendo will be getting a Traveller's Tale-developed, exclusive Lego title -- the first one ever too. These are the guys behind all the big and successful Lego games -- all the way back to Lego Star Wars: The Video Game. It's cool because it shows Nintendo is indeed putting in effort to secure 3rd party exclusives for their new console -- and this is from a big selling series. add to the fact that this game has been in development for awhile already, this could be the a solid launch title.
With that said, the only Lego game I've played is Lego Batman for Wii and though I played it co-op, I didn't find it particularly great. =/

Looks like a LEGO GTA.
I hope Nintendo gives Traveller's Tales some real guidance. I haven't played a Lego game in a while but I remember them being fun in terms of style and humor, but really loose in terms of controls, collision detection, and general feel. Those are things that Nintendo obviously excels at, so if they can really push the devs this could be a really fun game.

Is it a Lego GTA game? Like the Lego Star Wars games?

Interested but I need more info. I wonder what differences they'll have between the Wii U and 3DS versions, if they're neat enough and have connectivity I might double dip.
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:
