Last week we reported on an Amazon Canada listing that showed LEGO The Incredibles with a 15th June release date attached. We see a lot of these listings and many of those dates fail to come to anything, but with The Incredibles 2 opening in cinemas the day before, we predicted it was probably a legitimate date.
Thankfully, we were right, with Warner Bros and developer TT Games confirming the game is headed to consoles - including Nintendo Switch, naturally - on that very date. The game will cover both films in the franchise, so expect all sorts of brick-based fun with the super-powered nuclear family. You can check out the launch trailer below:
So, what are your thoughts on LEGO The Incredibles heading to Switch? Excited to finally play as the crime-fighting brood or does Switch have enough LEGO games already? We want to hear your takes below...

Moral of the story, wait until fall, it will be half price or less.
@rjejr
Except on Indonesia.
The price of Switch games are will not get discounted.
I’m excited. Wait it has to be coming to other systems right?! Switch was the only system that was advertised in the trailer?!!?!??
I'm calling the review tagline now...
The mediocres.
@Anti-Matter I know it's different in every country which is why I always put US in my comments so people know I am specifically talking about the US prices. Well I assume people know US is short for US but I suppose some people on here may not. No one has ever asked me what US stands for though.
Well that was a pretty useless trailer, at least at the end it said "2 movies, 1 game" which was to be expected but it's nice to see it confirmed.
My son got the Lego Marvel 2 Deluxe for Christmas which I'm still waiting for several DLC packs to release to tie into some movies, so I'm in no rush for this one. I think this one could be self contained though like LEgo Jurassic World, no DLC or season pass, which would be nice for a change. Will wait to see the movie first.
Also FYI for anyone looking to jump on this, rumour is still out their for a Lego DC Villains this holiday. That will probably be a much more interesting game.
@rjejr BestBuy also has a "flash sale"
I'm over the LEGO games. I bought all of them up until LEGO Dimensions and have never completed one. I get caught up in the excitement of a new LEGO game, but never enjoy playing any of them. Only took me a million years to realize I don't enjoy them. Lol
Seems like lesser Lego material
I’ll buy this one day when it’s ultra cheap just because I like the Incredibles.
Meh yet another lego game from TT...aka the Lego guys who keep making the same lego game since 2005...
miss the days when they made games like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr8SXxnOMyE
and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezPmMgCkykc
and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gihl9Y90rXI
even their original games were on par with Rare's... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgQCVi6HE6Y
@ClassSonicSatAm it does suck, but...these sell gangbusters compared to anything else they could ever put out
Very excited for the film.
Less so the game. But TT might surprise everyone. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.
@ClassSonicSatAm
Heck, for all we know this could've been a Lego Fantastic 4 game, but since the Incredibles are worth more to Disney/Marvel atm, they told them "Hey, we love the game, but could you maybe turn their suits red?"
@gloom That trailer is Nintendo-specific. They also have one showing all platforms.
@Anti-Matter Would TT justify putting money and resources into a game very few people want? I doubt it.
I’m in...
@Anti-Matter awesome idea. Would love to see TT put the LEGO twist on sports games
@Anti-Matter Yeah you might need to make that game yourself...
Totally needs amiibo to go with.
This is a LEGO game I can get behind. Just because the title says one Pixar series, doesn't mean it can't include others. With Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. in Kingdom Hearts 3, I could see both having characters in this. And if there's love and care put into this, there will more than likely be a number of references to the other films Pixar have made. Imagine a cutscene of the final battle of the first film having the house from UP fly past, for instance.
@Anti-Matter A lego boxing game would actually be pretty damn awesome, I'll admit 😂
I have a real soft spot for the incredibles and think this looks fun. I didn’t enjoy Marvel as a Lego outing, I prefer the games to be story led, The lord
Of the rings and The hobbit games, as well as all the Harry Potter ones I played to 100% completion and loved every second, I hope this is more like those titles.
Not really into the Lego games but I LOVE the minifigures... those Incredible figures look terrible! They have much better hair that Dash could use... I might buy the games, but I wouldn't buy the minifigure series.
Lol, just checked & I actually have a Mr Incredible already from the Disney Minifigure series... it actually looks better than the one used in this game (even without the custom body).
another re-skinned lego game with 2010 graphics
@Matthew010
"Would TT justify putting money and resources into a game very few people want? I doubt it."
Well, who knows ?
Might be there are some peoples still have interest with Boxing / Kickboxing sports.
Last time i bought Retro games, Animal Boxing NDS & K-1 games for PS2 + GBA were the last Boxing games that i can play.
Until now, there is NO Boxing games for 3DS, Wii U, PS4.
Boxing on Mario & Sonic 2016 games just a Tiny Portion, not really felt like proper Cartoonish Boxing games.
ARMS was like my "Oasis" in the Desert after long time No Boxing games so far.
Nooo, i don't consider UFC on PS4 as a Boxing games. I Banned that Barbaric sport.
@Supadav03
I would like to see LEGO Sport Worlds, Mixture of LEGO Style Sport games with Build-A-World from LEGO Worlds.
Wanna see these sports :
1. Boxing / Kickboxing
2. Baseball
3. Surfing
4. Tennis
5. Mini Golf
6. Jet Ski
7. Beach Volley Ball
8. Ice Skating
9. Swimming / Sync Swimming
10. Hang Gliding
Yessssssssss! More Lego games! I'm not in at launch though, made the mistake of doing it for marvel and Ninjago. The prices fall like a stone. So I'm excited, and in, once the price drops down to something more reasonable. They aren't $80 games.
I really like the Lego games but ever since they started having actual voices the charm went for me.
Anyone else feel the same? 😕
Why does Violet have a flat chest...um, I mean, has no boob lines like her mom does?
@Anti-Matter LEGO probably has very little interest in making boxing themed sets. They have a very pacifist attitude and for that reason they refuse to make an "army men" set with modern combat vehicles or firearms. They stick to either fantasy/historical (like their various medieval sets) or Star Wars at most.
Hence they may not be that interested in a sport that revolves around two guys beating each other. Not to mention that it's kind of hard to represent that with LEGO minifigs due to their limited posing. There was a boxer guy and a kickboxer girl in the blindbag Minifigures series, but that's about it. With football and basketball they made those spring-loaded toys, but you'd be hard pressed to make a similar set with boxers. And you may notice that those sport-themed sets were discontinued long ago.
LEGO Worlds is probably the most LEGO game there could be, as it is all about building. But everyone knows LEGOs are best in their physical form. I really need to get one of the smaller Elves sets
@Anti-Matter there was that animal boxing game on 3ds that was pretty fun. Plus duel pen sports. Punch Club was fun from a management stand point, and Rage of the Gladiator was a fun, fantasy themed Punch Out. As for ps4: well, you can be Tyson in UFC. I miss boxing games. Hopefully we see Fight Night and Ready 2 Rumble return someday.
@RyanSilberman so do COD and FIFA games, doesn't mean it's good. other then same old lego games TT name means very little these days.
Heck they could at least try and make something different with the lego games (not using the same engine yet again from Lego Star Wars the video game) something like the first person Lego Island game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E__I3KVf_o8 or even the Lego Racer games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjsHG-rgd3w
heck make a proper Lego Creator game (Lego Worlds could of been so much better then a poor man's minecraft...) TT are able to make some amazing games, but honestly haven't seen any of their games worthing playing since they got full on Lego.. ( Lego City Undercover was good though, but only cause the Nintendo lacks a real GTA style game and the story wasn't half-bad )
@SmaMan After that Fantastic 4 reboot film.. there name dosen't mean so much now, honestly if it's from TT it's going to be the same old Lego Star Wars engine style just with a new skin/pack on it again, in a way I think lego dimensions was a decent idea since it has all the other skin packs/worlds in one single game and allow you to mix them up... like real Lego, rather then buying a whole game of the pack.
If this was the old TT this would be up there with their past Pixar games, being a brand new fun game that looks almost identical to the movie it's based on (with the hardware these days they could do, even in the 16-bit era they pulled off some of the best graphics in a Mega Drive/SNES game)...rather looking and playing almost identical to their past Lego titles....
@ClassSonicSatAm yeah. Same thing with CoD and FiFa. Why would the companies make anything else of quality if people eat these up?
@ClassSonicSatAm If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The same style of great game with continuous marginal improvements over the years (for the most part cough terrible design and flying controls for the open world in "Lego Batman 2" cough) catered to different franchises is exactly what most gamers (including me) want from their Lego games.
@RyanSilberman But TT used to make and are still able to make amazing original games that are worth replaying, once you played any of their lego games you basically played them all. again even the older Lego games (the ones they didn't make ) were unique
@BulbasaurusRex Thing is it's rather blend and boring now, I mean Lego Star Wars 2 was amazing, even the DS version...but now they putting the same game with "continuous marginal improvements" just like COD or Fifa, and they all share the main problem once you played one you played them all... you want something new in the gameplay not just the skins/graphics
and TT are better then that, This could of been something that looked just like the films rather then playing and looking like a game that was impressive for a PS2 game...
"catered to different franchises is exactly what most gamers" again that's what I liked about lego dimensions, since you add and mix other franchises in the same game rather buying a full game where you can't mix/add but the gameplay just like all the other lego titles...yet again.
@ClassSonicSatAm Preference or not, that is totally irrelevant to their business.
@ClassSonicSatAm It's the different "skins" that make all the difference! They're not just redesigning the characters and environments and calling it a day. You only buy the games that cover the franchises you like, and the games are different enough to enjoy each of them (despite the similar gameplay) simply because each new one follows the story and abilities of a different pop culture franchise you enjoy with plenty of Easter eggs included that relate to that specific franchise. Furthermore, we enjoy how each game gives its focus entirely to a single franchise rather than trying to mix them all together into an incoherent narrative mess like with "Lego Dimensions."
@RyanSilberman So it's fine for TT to become just like EA and Activision? just because their samey games sell, means giving up effort and idea original ideas?
@BulbasaurusRex But "just redesigning the characters and environments and calling it a day" is all there doing here, sure the ip is different (sometimes) but it all feels like dlc for Lego Star Wars, rather unique games like they used to make. which why Lego Dimensions was good idea (Just rather buggy)
all the Pixar games they made (while 3 of them share the same engine) all played differently and were amazing licensed games that are still worth playing today. this one isn't one of them. gameplay makes games not it's cutscenes (that's what movies are for.)
@ClassSonicSatAm Dude, what more am I supposed to say? The LEGOs sell millions more than their other affairs, therefore they do them. Quit being so elitist and let them do their job. Want to play the older TT games? Play the older TT games.
@RyanSilberman So it's fine to bad mouth EA and Activision but not TT just because it's Lego and it sells? honestly think this worst then those two, at least they do other types of games then just FIFA or COD and recycling a game style that was fresh nearly 15 years ago...
I want TT to make amazing games again, cause I know they got the skills to do so, then just selling same Lego game for the 100th with another skin pack. surly in 15 years you think they would TRY and make something else or at least a different style of lego game (like in the old days) whats funnier even reusing the same engine in over a decade it still has tons of bugs..
Get your act together TT.
@ClassSonicSatAm no, I would say the same thing about EA and Activision. It sucks, but the old games are there if you want to go back to them
@RyanSilberman I do go back to their old games, cus there great! on the same level with some of Rare's classics, Toy Story 2 is like Buzz style Super Mario 64 clone, The 1st game still amazes me what they were able to do on the Mega Drive, Puggsy is one underrated gem (and I did see TT make a nod to it, with the space ship in Lego worlds being the same one from that game....why not a remake of that? or a sequel like that mention in the credits? ... even it has be built out of lego and the same LSW old engine.. >.< ) all I want is them to try something new be a new game or a just a new Lego engine gameplay, maybe a remake of the Lego Racers? maybe add some license ips into it? ( I know the past games had cars and such, but they all seemed half baked then to a proper racing engine. ) or at least not be making the same style of lego games up intill the PS5/PS6 era...you would think by the time of the PS4 they would of changed it.
