If they're the ones demanding every game is set in afghanistan and involves slow motion neck shanking, they can stay the hell away

People too hardcore and mature to enjoy a bouncy castle? Good riddance.
Bend too far and you're already Shacknews.
Can you name a few mature games?

Best news of all? Destructible environments with collectible bricks. Fuck yes. This sounds like the Lego game I've always wanted since Lego Island.

You know sorta back to the Sonic topic in relation, but how come so far Nintendo was willing to foot the bill and publish a Lego game, before a Sonic game?
Hell Reggie's words at E3 2011 mirror the case for Sonic, he said that at the time Lego games sold 60 million total in NA and EU IIRC, and more than half of those were on Nintendo platforms.
Sonic gaming-wise is much more associated with Nintendo nowadays than any other platform and the numbers show, and previous collabs with the Olympics and Brawl.
About time Sonic got the Lego City treatment, and as I said, Sonic Adventure 3 is the game to do it; the sequel to the games that Nintendo fans were introduced to when Sonic arrived on Nintendo platforms for the first time.
Hopefully Nintendo agrees on the idea.
An alternative is getting the creators (already have Yasuhara at NST) to work on a reboot of sorts with EAD Tokyo, who are probably the best platforming devs on the planet right now.

I would rather they use that money to buy the Banjo IP than fund a sonic game. But I'm sure they could make a great platformer with either.

So would I, but I don't think it's likely at all. :'(
I think Nintendo publishing a Sonic game is much more likely honestly.

the only way i can see nintendo funding/publishing a sonic game is if they buy the ip from sega, sega would probably prefer to run it into the ground as they already are

Yeah sadly too late, looks great but now I know PS4 is a must buy saving up for that
Great to see current Wii u owners have some quality releases soon though
Now release X and maybe that changes my mind

Because the Lego games still have a fairly good reputation of being fun and accessible, save for the people that go "GRRRR KIDS GAMES!!!" Whereas Sonic's reputation has been in the gutter for a while, regardless of whether Generations was considered any good, or Colors was any good, or whatever.

So far I would take this over anything shown for PS4.

I agree I had sonic adventure 1&2 on dreamcast got a cube and sega went third party and put it on gamecube.

Yeah I'd love to see a brand new take on sonic, a bare bones 3d reboot to nail the gameplay. I think Nintendo could balance the sense of speed, interactive platforming, and level/environment design. Camera control could be tough. But the more I think about this it would be cooler than Banjo since Banjo is a slightly different 3d Mario (even though I love the world and characters). Nintendo Sonic could be something new altogether.

Any word if its playable via the pro controller?

The game looks really interesting but I don't see it as moving the needle much on the Wii U in the next month. If anything, it will be an interesting study to see if the Lego IP is a brand that can stand on it's own without HarryPotter/Star Wars/DC/Marvel attached to it.
I know you're talking Lego as in videogames specifically, but it is somewhat amusing that essentially what your question boils down to is "I wonder if Lego really is popular?"
I mean, its not like Harry Potter, Star Wars or DC and Marvel were what gave Lego their big break back in the day.
I can see myself just doing that all day, like a screensaver

In video games specifically I meant.

Can't believe how far this game has rocketed up from not really interested to a possible reason I buy a Wii U. Looks so fun.
The tearing seems to be gone, the framerate looked very stable in the recent gameplay video and it looked to me like the pop in was greatly reduced as well.
Not sure about the aliasing, it's still there in newer screenshots but less noticable in videos imo.

These two are wonderful. I think I'll go with one of them.
Now I just need someone for the banner and so on.

Thanx. The cutscenes look great, but the gamplay really lacks some AA. Is the game fully finished or is there still time to use some AA?
In the recent Gamesport gameplay video they said the WiiU Version is finished. I guess it would also be submitted by this point since it'll come out in a few weeks.
About the screenshot, I have the feeling it is from an older version of the game, since I remember havin it seen ages ago. At least I hope so.

Ah okay thanx. Well, it seems like a blast to play anyway.

Something tells me this game will have a thriving Miiverse community.
Especially since you can post screens from within the game. Really awesome feature.

Screenshots are weird. On the one hand I see aliasing, simple lighting and odd clipping. On the other hand, I also see some really great textures in some of these and a pretty decent draw distance.
And yes, the above shot is old. As in, one of the fist released shots old.
