Why Lego: LOTR skipped Wii U

I don't know why some people cry so much. First of all you're probablt all old enough not to be so upset over video games, am I right? Second, Kravyn81 down here is right, just play the fricking wii version! Third, the damn thing JUST came out and already there are whiners?! Come on... Oh and last but certainly not least, how long have you guys been playing games? The new generations are just too spoiled with all this cross platform stuff. Who remembers the days of Genesis and SNES? Back then you would HARDLY EVER have same games on two different platforms and that was the beauty of it. You would pick a console based on wether you were a fan of FFantasy games or Mario, or if you like Disney/Sonic games and so on. Not to mention the fun of going over to a buddy's house that had the 'other one'. Get a life stop whining and find some friends to play other consoles with. Oh and HAVE FUN playing games not complain!

Isn't the Wii U backwards compatible with Wii games anyway?? So just buy the Wii version and play it on Wii U.

Why  Eddie Makuch, keeps writing articles on why a game hasn't been ported over the WII U?  Because he is running of stories that we  care about?. oh wait  these stories just bring up Haters and Defenders to war and more clicks which means more money for Gamespot. What a evil business! Can Nintindtones, SonyDrones, Xbots, and PC people ever live happily together? Not when game journalism exist!!!  LOL =P

Come on it wouldn't have been much different if it was on the Wii U anyway.

So Nintendo is going to keep supporting DS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U?

"Why everything skipped Wii U"

yet another game skipping wii U

People have to understand Developers are only so big. They can't make infinity games on every platform. It takes time and resources.

It just so happens the dev was working on an Exclusive Wii U Lego game.

I have to get this game. I have the Harry Potter ones, but haven't played it yet. The games are fun and can be challenging at times.

Lego city undercover and Lego LOTR could have co-existed on the Wii U even since Lego City Undercover is delayed.

i was the biggest tolkien fan ever as a boy

and i now understand why people love these lego games

This game is so so so so good.. I'm 25 next month and can't actually think of the last time when I bought a game that I enjoyed as much..

Possibly because LotR is amazing anyway, but it's just awesome as a whole :)

Lego City Undercover looks fun as hell

Excellent game and being as is it is already avaliable for the Wii theres little reason to make a WiiU version.

Also consider the Wii version is retailing for around £25 and most WiiU titles are £40+ its a no brainer really.

You can still play the Wii version on the Wii U anyway, so no biggie.
