LEGO: The Lord of the Rings is available on practically every platform. Because of this – as well as Nintendo’s tight relationship with Warner Bros. Interactive – it seemed inevitable that the game would eventually come to Wii U.
As we now know, that won’t happen. But that raises the simple question: why?
A Warner Bros. Interactive rep explained:
“The primary reason is that [Traveller’s Tales] and Lego were already working on Lego City Undercover for Wii U.”
