When in doubt, there are always LEGO games. The ever-present and lucrative series has taken in an impressive range of franchises and IPs, and the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World seems like a guaranteed hit with gamers of various ages. Incorporating all four movies - that includes Jurassic World of course - it'll push nostalgia and current-day buttons.
It is, of course, coming to both Wii U and 3DS, and we now have a release date. The game will arrive with the movie on 12th June in both North America and Europe. If you're in the US, meanwhile, there'll be some pre-order extras, detailed below:
- GameStop – LEGO Dino Trap Mini Playset
- Target – Dr. Wu Minifigure
- Walmart – $10 Movie Cash Certificate
In the game you get to play as dinosaurs, it should be noted, and those dinosaurs can actually build LEGO.
You can see some of the madness in the new trailer below. Are you planning to pick this up on Wii U or 3DS?

While I am glad that TT Games still invests in the console, the Lego game formula has grown stale for me.
Awesome. I really want this game. Not sure if I want the 3DS version or Wii U one.
I want to be a real T-Rex
I can't stand the Lego games. They look so boring to me. This might be the first one I actually buy and play though. I'm a sucker for Jurassic Park and dinosaurs in general
If Raptors can open doors, of course they can build Legos.
So have they announced anything the other consoles are getting that the Wii U isn't yet? Season Pass, DLC, that kind of stuff?
My kids haven't finished Lego Batman 2 yet, much less 3, and they've never seen any of the Jurassic Park movies - we only own #3 on DVD - but still, they are boys, and the game lets you play as dinosaurs, so it is on the list.
My kids are world weary enough to know that this will be $19.99 once Lego Dimensions and Lego Marvel Avengers release this fall so they may wait awhile before buying. We're all going to see the Avengers movie this weekend so I think that game will take precedence.
This I cannot wait for.
Can't wait for this, possibly the best LEGO game yet... well with exception of LEGO City Undercover of course.
Definitely buying this! Huge JP fan. But stuck on what console to get it for... my PS4 or WiiU?!? The off TV gamepad play is what's steering me more towards the WiiU.
Releasing this game in the middle of the E3 craze? Odd...
Building Legos? Clever girl...
Open world or pass.
I'm sick of the LEGO games taking steps backwards.
Depending on the price I might get this game man
@Samuel-Flutter Lol, awesome.
June 12th?! No more June 30th? That means it'll release on the day the movie launches. I already had this preordered at GameStop for that miniset, so I'm ready!
I can't decide either if this should be bought for WiiU or 3DS. I played Lego Batman 3 on 3DS and I really liked it for my first handheld Lego game but I do like the appeal of this game looking so awesome and good on the big tv screen. Maybe i should get this on WiiU, Avengers on 3DS and then Dimensions on WiiU.
@Darknyht - Yeah, the LEGO games have gotten very stale, and they never present any challenge. That said though, I'd probably pick this up if it ever went on sale - the games usually still have a good amount of humour.
I hope they learned from their last games and deliver a fully polished product unlike LEGO Marvel Super Heroes with its bugs and freezes. Than I may be considering a buy.
Is it just me or does the Dr Woo figure not look very Asian compared to the actor that played him
I hope they keep the scene in the first movie where Samuel L Jackson's severed arm falls on the girl - that would be great in Lego
