LEGO Jurassic World is making a prehistoric leap onto Nintendo Switch later this year. We're not sure how a leap can be 'prehistoric' either, but we had to come up with some sort of fancy intro so shush.
This one first launched on other platforms back in 2015, including both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. The game takes players through the first four Jurassic franchise films (so up to the first of the modern Jurassic World entries) and recreates the series' classic moments in LEGO form.
Here's a quick feature list for you to explore:
– Relive key moments from all four Jurassic films: An adventure 65 million years in the making – now in classic LEGO brick fun!
– Wreak havoc as LEGO dinosaurs: Choose from 20 dinosaurs, including the friendly Triceratops, deadly Raptor, vicious Compy and even the mighty T. rex.
– Customize your own dinosaur collection: Collect LEGO amber and experiment with DNA to create completely original dinosaurs.
– Populate and explore Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna: Put your unique dinosaur creations into paddocks as you complete special Free Play missions.
– Play with friends with easy access drop-in, drop-out gameplay option.
When it first came to Wii U, we enjoyed revisiting the films in the LEGO series' traditional humorous style, but felt let down by its technical disappointments. Hopefully this Switch port can address those issues; it does come with three previously released DLC packs as standard, which could well put this edition above earlier releases already.
Are you a Jurassic Park fan? Will this one be going on the wishlist? It arrives in Europe on 20th September and in North America on the 17th September.

I never tried this so I may give it a whirl.
my sister said this game got boring pretty fast. So l'm not getting this on switch.
Awesome, bring over the other LEGO games.
I'm interested, as I have enjoyed most of the films, but does it have voice acting? Does anyone here know?
I played this on the ps4. It was fun, but the licence didn't suit the Lego games template as well as Harry Potter, Star Wars or superheroes as there's not much in the way of iconic characters or vehicles, so the compulsion to collect everything isn't quite as strong. Still fun though.
Kinda late, yeah?
What's the price?
Nothing from Fallen Kingdom, so this is a hard pass. Already 100% it on PS4
@Flowerlark was Vita version the same version as PS4? Vita was getting inferior versions there for a while.
I liked the original on Wii U even with the performance issues. I've actually been hoping for a Switch version pretty much since launch.
@AnnoyingFrenzy It does have voice acting mostly (entirely?) from the movies. Only the earliest Lego games don't have voice acting.
Seems strange to bring it at this point. Its super cheap elsewhere and wasnt one of the better Lego games if I remember correctly. Wonder what they plan on charging for this
@dsparil That's a shame, I vastly prefer the ones with no voice acting at all. I feel the lack of voice acting lead to funnier jokes and situations. Thanks for your quick response.
As with any Lego game it will wind up on deep discount in time. So patience works
@Dman10 it was different. Same version as 3DS so abit vut back I believe. I saw videos of the people ther versions on pc etc and seemed there was a lot missing from vita version - a more condensed experience is probably best way to put it
As long as it isn't a full price release I'd be interested, it can be picked up for next to nothing on other consoles.
Admittedly this will have the DLC but I dont believe that would justify a silly price for an old game.
Guess we'll have to wait and see
If LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is of any indication, I think I'll wait for LEGO Jurassic Saga with content based off of all 6 Jurassic Park/World movies.
Now we just need the Lego Lord of the Rings, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.
I didn't ask for this but since I only played the Mobile version that's based off the vita port I'll probably pick this up.
I had a lot of fun with this game when it first released. If it’s not overpriced, i’ll double dip because I had no idea there was DLC packs for this game.
Most likely $59.99, like all new Switch games due to the expensive cartridge cost. Unless it’s an Indie game or a Remastered they’re usual the standard $60.@kcook33
Another game that you played years ago on another platform if you were interested in it.
@CTmatic I just got crash team racing for 29.99 new, so hopefully they can keep the cost down
This is my personal favourite Lego game, and brings back a lot of good memories for me. Definitely gonna pick this up.
I think this will retail for full rrp unfortunately. Although it should drop in price quickly after release. With the 3 dlc packs included it should be well worth picking up when it gets cheaper....
@AnnoyingFrenzy love it or hate it the voice overs are stripped straight from the movie. And unfortunately they are fairly low quality sounding as well as the fact that it seems they didn’t edit out the background noise for most of the voice overs, for instance you can sometimes hear running water etc in the background. It’s kind of jarring.
Yep, but that was a Remaster, that’s why it wasn’t $59.99.@ozwally
If this includes physical count me in
Kind of already have three other versions of this. But maybe once it’s on sale.
@JohnnyC Problem is that's all traveller's tales makes anymore, they used to be really good with license games the two Toy Story games, Mickey Mania now it's the same Lego game since the PS2 days samely gameplay, just with different licences/skins
Ah I had this on wii U but never cleared it as I wanted to see Jurassic world before playing the story but my system got destroyed before i could get to it.
Been tempted to play through the Harry Potter ones but I’ve been unsure on it
@CTmatic
Whats this then?
Lego Harry Potter was cheaper than most I expect this to be the same.
It'll be down to $20 physically a few months after release. Don't be enticed to spend a dime more.
@ClassSonicSatAm I really enjoy them to be honest. Nintendo games aside, they're the only decent family games on the market. Some are definitely better made than others though. Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 was by far the best of the last few years, and was almost an encyclopaedia of well-known and obscure Marvel characters.
@AnnoyingFrenzy It does. They're pretty terrible though.
Cant see this retailing for more than £29.99. Lego Harry Potter was that on launch if I remember rightly.
One of the best of the Lego games.
I actually loved this on Wii U.
The technical limitations didn't spoil the experience.
Doubt I will double dip though
Above earlier releases? Game has been out a while. Kind of weird selling point.
Great game, I wondered if they were ever going to do this. I will probably wait for it to drop in price before I buy it since I own it on 2 other platforms already.
Looks like that WWE 2k20 rumor maybe true now after this. 🤔
@Countach5000 @snakesglowcaps Thanks for the info! I may consider this title if it is of low price. I hope they port over Lego Star Wars TCS or give the new Lego Star Wars a "No Voices" mode.
@AnnoyingFrenzy to be honest I’m right there with you. LEGO Jurassic world would probably have been funnier without voice acting. That being said I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
@kcook33 I would guess this will be a $40 title based on the other recent releases like the LEGO Harry Potter Collection, but then again that was two games in one so it could potentially be cheaper as this is just one game. The sad part is that this regularly sales for $5 on Steam, Xbox One and even Playstation 4 so there's that. I enjoyed this one but will likely wait a few months for it to drop to the $15 price I have bought into every other Switch LEGO release this year. I'd guess as soon as Black Friday it could be on sale into early next year around March or so it will likely regularly be discounted.
@Madder128 Wii U is where I first played it years ago and it was really fun there. For me the best part of all LEGO games on Wii U was the local multiplayer. One player could have their own screen on the TV while the other would have the GamePad as their screen. So the dual screen experience was really cool and different than all other versions of the games where you have the pinwheel split-screen alone.
Love the LEGO games and Jurassic Park, will definitely pick this up, along with LEGO Star Wars later this year
I'm hoping this will be the 'full fat' version as the handhelds of yore used to get condensed versions of the games. There's no reason why it shouldn't. Will definitely grab it if this is the case.
