Shocked at no Vita and really a n3DS title? Isn't this gonna be the 2nd game exclusive to that system now?
So excited! Love the LEGO Star Wars games! Will wait for inevitable < $20 price on n3DS. PC for $7.50 later.

Not much of a surprise, really. Yet another LEGO game.
Here's hoping that they will buck the trend and change things up with this one, so that it won't be as monotonous as the others.

Is there an official definition for what a "children's title" or "casual title" is?

If there is no Vita version it is because of sales, not of power.
Not on our end, but think things like RPGs and shooters and older audience oriented action/adventure titles.

Nah, more like, "We don't want to devalue Bf2/3, one of which will be entirely NT."

Day one for sure but I would be happier if they'd add Rebels to the game

I want to see that! I guess this is what wb's announcment for tomorrow was? If so awesome! As far as batman/middle earth/dc comics stuff. Those announcments will probably come closer to e3.
So, I wonder...would this at all mean that such "spin offs", like Lego SW, and maybe even another SW character appearing in a future Soulcalibur release, are at all feasible, now, since those would be entirely separate arrangements from whatever Disney has with EA?

No fan of this after the LEGO Hobbit failure. Would rather have them wait for the other 2 movies or atleast pull an Indiana Jones and include Ep 1-6 too... in a remaster form (added dialogue etc).
I hope at least the cast is big and it has a proper open world. If they pull another Batman 3 I l'll be disappointed

Hm, I wonder if there's someway to spin Musou as casual.
Nintendo = teh kiddy
Rogue Squadron was on Nintendo systems
=>
Rogue Squadron games coming to Wii U virtual console!!!
Not really (-_-)
No, that's in April. This is set for May 31st, but I'd think May 4th would be a good bet...

The LEGO Star Wars games are some of my favorite LEGO games (LEGO SW3 really knocked it out of the park IMO really pushed the graphics of those games forward, nice looking set pieces, and some interesting new gameplay stuff like the RTS battles), so I'm excited about this...
...but I'm also a little iffy on the idea of it only including the single movie with some bits to bridge episodes 6+7. I hated that they rushed out LEGO Hobbit before the final movie and that never got DLC to include it either, so it's just 2/3's of that series. LEGO Indiana Jones pulled the same crap, but at least they made another one that included all 4 movies (even though the 4th was a turd).
I'd love it like someone mentioned earlier in the thread if they remade the original trilogy LEGO game with the production values of the current games (or made another graphical leap for the games like when LEGO SW3 came out).
Or honestly if they'd just wait until later in the year and include the Rouge One movie too (who knows maybe it will!).

The LEGO The Movie video game. I'm also not sure, but I think LEGO Star Wars 3 was based on the animated movie, but that might have had TV stuff in it too. For as much as I loved that game, I knew nothing of the source material characters or storylines, it was very confusing, haha.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and the Batman games haven't been based on any movies, so they are at least able to make good content without requiring films.

RIP vita, if you're losing Lego games you know the dark times have come.
Wait so was this supposed to be one of the reveals today from WB?

They've always been like that. They've been doing at least one every year since the original Lego Star Wars, and in many of those years they did two, and in some of those years they even did three.
Given how they churn these things out, it's kind of amazing how competent they tend to be.

I hope it's not WB's teased project (Seriously, the Lego series STARTED with Star Wars. That ain't an unprecedented partnership.) - but I would not be shocked if that's the exact case.
Also judging by those screenshots, I'm guessing the trailer that drops tomorrow at 6am will be a shot-for-shot recreation of the initial teaser. Fun!

I was hoping for a new Lego Star Wars, but I was expecting them to wait until episode 9 came out.
Then again, it's hard to leave the money on the table for a SW game about the newest and most successful movie.

It's one announcement encompassing "two of the world's most popular brands". Lego and Star Wars fits the bill, as disappointed as those hoping for a Batman versus Superman game are probably going to be.
We're not going to contest whether LEGO is a brand aimed at children, first and foremost, are we?
I think Dimensions kinda messed up some plans.
Where did they call it an "unprecedented partnership"?

Sorry, I misrecalled the email they sent out earlier today. Guess I bought into the hype train.

I mean, I get the idea, but I feel like any agreement like that seems fairly ambiguous. Unless there's some pretty absurdly specific language in the contract, that would leave Disney a hell of a lot of wiggle room, and I really don't see how specific you could get when things like genre and target age-range are far from legal science.
No, not at all. See above. It just seems like any kind of deal that involves genre and target markets is a bit... Odd. I mean, most of the time it's pretty clear what's primarily targeted at children, but I don't think "I know it when I see it" is exactly a useable concept in a videogame exclusivity contract. And going by ratings would be difficult, since Disney could easily nudge something like Rogue Squadron down into E10+ if they wanted the IP to go to someone else. Like I said, I just think anything other than a complete exclusivity deal (at least outside of mobile and of course Disney developed games) is just... Weird. I suppose it really doesn't matter to me either way in the end though, it's just a curiosity.
June 28th release date on the page. And wow, the visuals are fantastic.

Shiiiit those screenshots. Damn, looking awesome.

Yup, I see that now. Should have realized that at first, because the letterboxed images are on-par with the Lego Movie, particularly in terms of materials and lighting, far above the in-game quality. Probably the same studio.

It looks like almost all those shots are from a highly polished Lego-ized version of the film's first teaser. Probably what they'll use to "announce" it. I'm guessing that shot of Han, Leia and Chewie is the only one representative of what the actual game looks like.
Still, though, I'll jump on this. I haven't really played much of a Lego game since the original two Lego Star Wars, but I think this is what it takes to bring me back.

That would be a poor excuse since there are more sold 3DS handhelds than N3DS.

So, based on that Endor screenshot, the bonus missions that bridge Jedi and Awakens start immediately after, or even during Jedi? Interesting. I wonder how extensive it will be and what material they'll be adapting for it.

The N3DS still has a stable future, though. Even if the NX is Nintendo's next handheld, the N3DS has another 2-3 years of sales in it. Combine that with the eternal appeal of Star Wars/Lego - WB really can't lose.
I'm wondering if that's going to be the pre-Maz Kanata part, the journey from the Falcon to her place through the jungle.

Well, the vanilla 3DS's issue would be power.
It's also possible the NX handheld winds up being n3DS-compatible, and TT/Warner made the decision knowing that the game could still sell on that platform as well.
