Yeah, an entire There and Back Again game does seem like milking even by licensed game standards. Should have just waited until 2015.

Kinda feel it will suck tbh?

Cool. My girlfriend and kid really really liked Lego LOTR, and I've been meaning to play it one of these days. I'll be buying it for sure.
Well the final film will include the battle of the five armies and then any of the additional stuff they will be touching on to bridge the gap between The Hobbit and LOTR (so how much content that actually is, who knows).
I'd be delighted if the third film content came out as DLC for this game after the movie hits the cinemas.

Not surprised at how this is being released, or the fact that it's on everything. There's no reason for it to not be on every console. It'll be on iOS soon after, too.

I'd be annoyed, if only the LEGO games didn't get progressively better each time. LEGO Marvel is incredibly well made and fun.
I am lolling at the gif and this post

They might as well put it on Wii as well since I think that would garner more sales than a WiiU version.
They also need online and maybe another open world type game like Lego Undercover. Pity I won't be playing that game until a long while since it's a WiiU exclusive.
When was the last Lego game that had online co op? Could you imagine 4 players online helping each other with bigger levels to accommodate?! Lego needs a shakeup to keep things somewhat fresh. I know the demo is big and has a large younger following but you have to give something new sometime.

There aren't even that many people that read the book and the movie came out not all that long ago. It will be based on the movie is what I'm guessing.

This pleases me. Picked up Lego Marvel for Wii U and I will certainly be getting this.

You should check out LEGO Marvel in the Vita. It's actually pretty damned good compared to the last few shitty DS/3DS ports. It's a basically a brawler with a 3/4 camera perspective (think Diablo).
It's almost like kids games sell well on Nintendo hardware.
Like I already mentioned, Wii-U didn't get Lego LOTR.
Funny "slip up" by GI? They didn't mention Wii-U in their article in the section where they list the platforms:

Unfortunately it will probably be an up-port of the 3DS version rather than a down-port of the last-gen consoles.
They won't be comparable.

I always find it weird how the environment is not lego, doesn't match the characters at all.

This. People seem to forget that the PC users do FINALLY get the DLC too on Steam (it's been confirmed for LEGO Marvel, one'd think future titles get the DLC on Steam too). It just wouldn't make any sense to split the hobbit into 2 LEGO games (I know they did it with e.g. Harry Potter, but that was acceptable because both games covered a lot of content).
They could easily release the 3rd movie as a DLC. I mean I would hate to launch 2 different games just to play through the whole story (not to mention that they usually scrap a few characters and add new ones in sequels, you'd have no way of using them in the first game). They probably already have access to the 3 movies for their story (+ I think the audio is already recorded for the 3rd movie?) so they're probably done on release with the whole story.
I just hope they finally re-work the character grid... LEGO LOTR had all costumes as seperate character slots, LEGO HP & Marvel had the rotation system for character variations that was way too fast when you want to select a variation and way to slow when you were waiting for one (they should let us select a char and then scroll through variations or use X/Rectangle to change the variation manually).

At least we dont have to have a port begging thread for this game where we use a bunch of mental gymnastics to justify it not coming out to XY console.

For fucks sake stop half-assing the 3DS/Vita versions. It's infuriating.
