Other than ZombiU this was probably the best thing at the Nintendo Conf, who woulda thunk it.

"I can't tell you he'll take me apart." Sold! If they are committing themselves to Lego puns then I am totally sold.

Ok you know what, I'm back on board; talking is ok in LEGO games as long as it's all cheesy pun riddled dialog.

That was great. Glad to see Traveller's Tales working on a non-licensed game. Um, you know what I mean.

Damn, it has been a good while since they've made a real Lego game and this actually looks like fun. I'm also enjoying the cheesy dialogue. This may just be the first Lego game I will play since the original Lego Star Wars.

You know what'll sell me on this game if I had a Wii U is a pizza delivery side quest, while riding a skateboard.

This trailer was such a pleasant surprise, good to see TT getting to make their own game, and this looks both hilarious and fun. Excited to play this eventually, don't know when I'll be getting a Wii U, though.

@jukeboxzer0: I said 'at the Nintendo Conference', was a shame they didn't show P-100 because it looks awesome, maybe their conference wouldn't of been so much of a disappointment if they had.

I still imagine an open world Lego game like this could work online, somehow injecting the crazyfun of games like SR3 with powers up from all the different product lines (and even a chance for the move licence tie-ins as a promo).

I was completely sold on this when they showed a solitary logo last year. Absolutely stoked to play it. From what I understand, all the Lego games have blended together somewhat (punch baddies, collect Lego gems, rinse repeat) but a Lego rendition of GTA will be awesome.

Think about this: There are some kids out there that don't know that it was a Matrix gag because they were too young to see it. Some don't even know it exists.

There's still a chance, they didn't say it was an exclusive to the Wii-U.

I tend to agree, though I don't think the lines in this trailer were too offensive.

Still, I can see it getting real annoying over the course of an entire game.

GTA for everybody, I'd say:)

Love the humor, the Prince of Persia style platforming, kung fu fighting, fun vehicles, the radar view used to find criminals...all it needs now is an LA Noire style gameplay mechanic to let me accuse random LEGO people of lying and I'm sold!

This way you have an excuse to be stealing cars and such, they're not going to let you play as a criminal.

I think the subtitle is an obvious indication there will be sequels though. Last year this was simply "Lego City Stories". Not sure how I feel about the voices yet, but this was easily one of the best games shown at the conferences.

Dude, Lego Island had voices, If anything them not being able to talk is out of the norm.

This is one of the few games shown at the press conference that I liked what I saw.
