The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild continues to sell well, too

Video Lego Dimensions Is The Only Way To Play The Lego Batman Movie
Be the Batman
Last year we voiced the opinion that Wii U owners should be thankful for Lego Dimensions, which has kept the console alive with its expansion packs despite other titles drying up.

News LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has Neat DLC, Yet It's Not Listed for Wii U
Inconsistency with LEGO extras continues
The LEGO series has an odd relationship with Nintendo hardware. In the current generation we've had the rather good LEGO City: Undercover as a Wii U exclusive, but multiple major releases in the franchise have left the Nintendo system out of its DLC. Yet LEGO Marvel's Avengers on Wii U provided a welcome...
Video Poe Dameron Takes Flight in Latest LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer
He can fly anything
While it may seem a little odd that LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is arriving in June, six months after the movie, there's certainly the hope that it'll be a fun game on Wii U and 3DS - that extra development time has surely been put to good use.

News You'll Need To Dig Deep For This Insane Lego Minecraft Set
Blockbusting
A lot of Minecraft's appeal can be traced back to construction toys like plastic building blocks - a fact which is neatly acknowledged by the growing range of Lego toys based on Mojang's famous title.

Plenty for $10
DLC Season Passes are currently looked upon with some suspicion, as some high profile examples have failed to deliver on the goods in the current generation.

News Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Secures Top 10 Place in Single Format NPD Chart
An otherwise quiet month for Nintendo
January isn't exactly the hottest month of the year for game sales, with many bemoaning the impact of Holiday excess on their bank balances.

Video TT Fusion Explains How It's Handling THAT Scene In LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
If you haven't seen the film, walk away now
The announcement of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens might have been predictable, but that doesn't mean we're not excited about the prospect of playing through the latest block-based adventure - especially as the movie on which it is based remains so fresh in our minds.

Six films covered in total
The forthcoming Lego Marvel's Avengers video game for Wii U and 3DS will cover more than just the two Avengers movies released so far, it has been revealed.

Block-buster

Review LEGO Jurassic World (Wii U)
Fun but lacking InGen-uity
A whole lot of chaos has ensued on the islands of Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar. Since 1993 we've seen two state-of-the-art theme parks abruptly go defunct and two rescue missions disastrously unfold on these isolated chunks of land. The crazy thing is, we relish in the spectacle that results from these unfortunate events...

Keeping up with all the news about Lego Dimensions is no easy task.

Perhaps not as mind-blowing as the gameplay...
Review LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin (3DS)
Left in the dark
At this point, "Oh, look! Another LEGO game!" is a phrase that can only be said with genuine excitement or seething, bitter sarcasm. Regular releases in the LEGO series of video games have become such a constant in the industry that these action-adventure titles are on the verge of becoming a genre of their own. Not to leave the...

Rumour Warner Bros. is Working on Building a LEGO Toys-To-Life Game
Get those wallets ready
The toys-to-life idea introduced in Activision’s Skylanders series is a deviously profitable one.
