There are currently eight iconic scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises available and more construction sets tied to the new "Iron Man 3" feature film will launch later this spring.

"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes" offers an original storyline in which Nick Fury calls upon Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine and other heroes spanning the Marvel Universe to save Earth from such threats as the vengeance of Loki and the hunger of Galactus, Devourer of the Worlds. LEGO and Marvel fans will enjoy classic LEGO videogame adventure and humor, while playing as their favorite Marvel characters.

Damn, now I'm going to have to buy a Wii U...

[unclephn]

While I'm sure this game will be fun like all the other Lego video games, I think I'm more excited/anxious about what the exclusive minifig (with pre-order) will be!

[Bricksareforme]

Damn, now I'm going to have to buy a Wii U...

Yeah, same here. darn it........or will the wii u games still be compatible to some extent with the old wii system?

I am going to forget about preorders for lego games....it was a disaster getting it thru ebgames for the lego LOTR....i was so pissed off about my preorder not getting the minifig, i returned my sealed game (after visiting and phoning the store countless of times). Why should i pay full price for it when its not even a limited ed, and no minifigs as promised? Lego dropped the ball on this one.

[vynsane]

Yeah, same here. darn it........or will the wii u games still be compatible to some extent with the old wii system?

Strike that, reverse it. Wii games will be playable on Wii U the same way Gamecube games were playable on Wii. Not sure about GC compatibility with U. But older consoles don't play newer games.

[Buttmunch]

Hopefully we'll get more comic style sets now rather than just movie sets and cartoon sets. I want more like the Wolverine set!

Yup, u r right. Did a little googling. GC games will not be compatible with U. Guess i will have to factor in the cost of the game and the system....holy bananas!!!

[Bricksareforme]

OR play it on PC or as a Mac App (if they come out as one). I just thot of that. But it just aint the same as Wiiing.

[SpaceNinjaDino]

If you were only playing the LEGO games on a Wii before, you are in for a treat to how crisp the graphics are on 360/PS3/Wii U (HD res and shaders). The Wii was just a re-release of the GameCube with different controllers and marketing.

I bought the Wii U just for LEGO City Undercover, but that game isn't out yet, so I have it still in the box. I prefer to play on the 360 and 3DS. (I have a PS3 and Vita, but only for Blu-ray and exclusives.)

I will probably check out this game on 360, Wii U, and 3DS. This franchise will be cooler than DC (IMHO). I'm sure Wii U will have some exclusive controller feature, but my expectations will be set on 360 as the definitive version for myself. I'm surprised they will still be supporting DS. Harry Potter 1-4 on DS was very disappointing. DS had some good games like LEGO Batman 1, LEGO SW TCS, LEGO Indy 1, but ever since LEGO Indy 2, they dropped the ball and feels completely outsourced.

Glad it is going to be a series. Lego Batman was fantastic, and I'm really enjoying LOTR although the open world with the side quests is a little confusing.

*UPDATE*
GameStop has revealed their annual LEGO videogame pre-order bonus:

Definitely not as awesome as GameStop's usual bonuses, as its only a keychain. Especially as it does not appear to be an exclusive or variant. Only time will tell, as GameStop will eventually release a picture of the kechain itself. Until then, speculate away.

[Shannon510]

when I went on the gamestop site there was a picture when you looked up the game. Just a lame run of the mill key chain with the standard Spidey.

I am so bummed as I can only assume most of us our. What a wasted opportunity. I will probably by mine on Amazon now just out of spite ;)

Such a fail on Gamestop's part.

Walmart has an exclusive "Iron Patriot" minifig with their pre-orders. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lego-Marvel-PS3/23014829 The game is also available for the Wii U, and Xbox 360 platforms.

only in the USA so far....

Yep. 6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown was great (Wolverine, Magneto & Deadpool). I never would have guessed that LEGO would make a Deadpool or superheroes at all. I still have the Superman custom LEGO figure that I made when I was a kid. I'm not sure why but Mr. Freeze is one of my all time favorite LEGO superhero minifigures so far (the newer one.. although he really should have had goggles). Sorry.. I realize its a Marvel game and I've wandered into DC characters.

[StClair]

...and I'm really enjoying LOTR although the open world with the side quests is a little confusing.

I just started playing LOTR with my son last week. I really like it too but I agree the side quests and open world is a little confusing to me also. Hoping I get the hang of it. I think so far I like the 2nd Batman game slightly better (only slightly if at all).

While I do enjoy the licensed games, the Lego City game on the Wii U has been my favorite. Not having to follow an existing movie script or genre format, the world was wide open and I felt as though they did a great job with all of that freedom. Lots of great gags all through the game. I highly recommend it and hope the Marvel game is just as good.

[davedude]

Coming out in the morning!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully going to walmart to get me a few iron patriots!!!!

[vynsane]

Dang, it's coming out today? Guess I missed out on Iron Patriot...

[davedude]

I might be wrong. I called and they didn't have it. I guess it's the 18th I have read on http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Marvel_Super_Heroes" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Edit. Found this aswell which says 22nd, http://m.ca.ign.com/wikis/lego-marvel-super-heroes" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

I'm just hoping soon!!!
