LEGO Jurassic World is out today on Wii U and 3DS, bringing the latest batch of LEGO madness to both Nintendo systems. That's the case in North America, at least, as in Europe only the 3DS version has arrived today in some territories, with the Wii U version pushed back to 19th June in some countries and later in others.
That inconvenience aside, new LEGO titles are always a popular arrival on the retail scene, and Nintendo fans have the now typical choice of the full HD experience on Wii U or what's likely to be a more linear, slightly scaled-back effort on 3DS. Oh, and loading times, there are always hefty loading times.
With content from all four movies in the franchise this is certainly one of the most tempting LEGO tie-ins to date, with iconic moments recreated from the older movies and the new blockbuster to take in. To celebrate Nintendo's released a new trailer for the Wii U version, which shows off the silly humour we can expect.
Check it out below - are you planning to pick this up?

Lay down your wallets. We shall not spend a dime before we have seen E3 through to the end(it did look kinda fun though).
Looks fun. Still waiting for some reviews and impressions, but will most likely buy.
Life, uh, finds a way.
BTW, CAN'T FREAKING WAIT. Gosh the world needs more dino games.
... that is one big pile of s... tunning family friendly fun!

@Spectra_Twilight never seen a Jurassic park movie!!!!! I find it genuinely hard to imagine a rock big enough for you to hide under to miss all 3 of the 'oldies'.....do yourself a favour and watch the original one soon before you accidentally catch a later one!
I've actually been looking into 3DS version. Its been years since I bought a Lego game, but this and Dimensions have me changing my tune as of late...I hope we'll see a 3DS review soon....(and a Wii U review too XD) I mean sure it'll be the weakest of all the games, but a quick jaunt trough Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar...it'll be a blast. The original JP and The Lost World were huge parts of my childhood (never bothered with JP3) and JW looks promising, but like I said I'll wait until we see reviews for the 3DS version.
I'll just leave this here.

That velociraptor scene at the end has me in stitches every time. xD
@ULTRA-64 - I'm actually debating whether or not to have my kids watch the original, not so much 2 or 3, before seeing the new 1.
When I first saw the trailer for Jurassic World (movie, not the game) I thought it was simply a remake like The Longest Yard, Rollerball, Clash of the Titans, well you get the idea. Turns out it's a new movie, not a remake. B/c, you know, after all those other people died in all the other dino parks how could it possibly be a bad idea to open a new one?
So I accept that it's a new movie, then read the review in the paper this morning, and it is a new movie, which is apparently scene for scene a remake of the original, just w/ much better graphics and more modern tech.
So for us who saw the original 20 years ago, maybe that's fine. But should I have my kids watch the original this weekend and then see almost the same movie w/ better graphics but worse acting next weekend? I'm not so sure.
I still regret watching Terminator 1 the day before seeing Terminator 2. No matter how much coverage T2 gets for it's silver shape shifting robot, the first is by far a way better movie. It looks like a B budget flick, but the script, acting and drama are far superior.
I'm impressed TT can release so many Lego games per year yet still look like a lot of effort was put into it. With this aren't there 4 Lego games out this year?
I love the title about making our glasses move, haha. I'll tell ya, to me Lego is becoming one of those video game franchises like Pokemon where I'm not ashamed to say I play them. Pokemon is a FUN game and so is Lego so why the hell not? Really excited for the Lego Worlds game especially but I may start building my Lego game collection (pun intended).
@rjejr I agree with you. The first Terminator is more suspenseful and, imo, the better film.
@rjejr From the sounds of it you'll probably have similar feelings about Jurassic World as me. It's entertaining enough, but not put together anywhere near as well as the original.
Bought it this morning and loving it.
My bro's getting this in July. It's gonna be roarsome!
WOW! Ok. I didn't know if I would wait for a price cut before buying it like I did with all the Lego games before it, but now it's clear to me... I WILL BUY IT NOW!
@ToneDeath - Yeah, thanks, Think we'll skip the 1st for now, maybe watch it later on. I'm hopeing that even though I know the first was better it was a long time ago, and I've seen 2 and 3 a few times since then, it simply has to be better than 2. I own 3 on DVD, I use the big fight scene to test out new tvs and surround sound equipment. So we'll watch 4,then 1,2 and 3, it will be just like watching Star Wars w/ my kids. (jk, we watched SW 1-6)
@bezerker99 - "The first Terminator is more suspenseful"
Ahh, suspenseful, that's the word I was looking for. And I'm not surprised you agree w/ me, you have a spinning turntable as your avatar.
Definitely getting this game but it will have to wait until July to get it.
@Mega719 Noob question of the day, maybe they have multiple smaller dev teams that work on each separate one? Or maybe the games just don't take as long to make as other AAA titles? (I know game development isn't easy or fast)
Gonna get this once price comes down after hype of new movie. I loved new film. Not perfect and not as good as original but enough nostalgia and nods to past and fun as a summer blockbuster should be.
@rjejr: I don't know what paper it was that you were reading but they need to get their facts straight. Jurassic World is NOT a remake of the original at all but a completely new sequel that takes place on the same island as the first one 22 years later. The movie is very different then the original. I would definitely recommend having your kids see the first movie first as it is an amazing classic. I have to say JW was very good as well, I really enjoyed it. JP 2 and 3 can be skipped.
oh and btw I do prefer T2 over T1 but they are both pretty good
@ShadowSniper7 - The paper didn't say it was a remake, they said there were scenes in the first movie that were repeated in the 2nd movie, like the kids trapped in the car in the 1st and now the kids trapped in the gyro. They listed several others as well.
