Warner Bros. is gearing up for its biggest LEGO video game campaign ever in the UK with the upcoming release of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes landed in North America late last month, but it won’t be available in Europe until next week. As launch approaches, Warner Bros. will be going after older gamers through social media and press advertising. Also worth mentioning, LEGO Marvel has already been featured ahead of the TV show Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Kids will be a core focus for Warner Bros. as well. The game will receive coverage in the kids press, such as front covers and competitions.
Warner Interactive’s UK sales and marketing director Spencer Crossley told MCV:
“LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is our biggest LEGO video game launch to date with continuous above-the-line and experiential support throughout the campaign.
“This game not only appeals to our traditional kids audience, but also reaches a broader and older generation of Marvel superfans. We’ve seen a considerable broadening in the demographic of the market for LEGO video games since the huge success of LEGO Batman 2 and LEGO The Lord of the Rings and with the wider and deeper appeal of the LEGO Marvel licence, we’re looking forward to appealing to a much bigger market.”

More Bravely Default: For the Sequel details
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Famitsu posted a new Bravely Default: For the Sequel article yesterday with new details about the game. The publication also had a few words with producer Tomoya Asano. You can find a roundup of information below.
– Lucifer, Mammon, Beelzebub are in from Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light as special bosses
– Fight each of the bosses through Wi-Fi connectivity
– The bosses appear as an invasion of Norende Village
– This is the town you’ll be working on restoring through StreetPass
– Can also acquire the monsters by StreetPassing with other players who already have them
– Producer Tomoya Asano says the idea behind the tweaked difficulty and encounter rate adjustments was to have a game that can be enjoyed while relaxing
– There are some players who feel that the game offers so many jobs and abilities, but not enough challenges
– Therefore, the dev. team wanted to meet that demand
On whether the “Adventurers” enemies will be even more powerful in For the Sequel
“Since they’re monsters you’ll be getting as content from outside the game, we’re currently thinking about how strong they should be. We’re thinking about having their strength match the current progress of the player. In the end, we plan on having monsters who are even stronger than the ‘Adventurers’.”
On the inclusion of the 4 Heroes of Light bosses
“There are many parts of the artwork that are similar, so I thought it’d be a great match. However, there won’t be any related settings between the two worlds… at least for now.”
On whether we’ll be seeing other powerful monsters similar to the ones announced
“Hmm yes, we’re currently thinking of a schedule to add more [bosses] even after the release of the game, so players will be able to continue enjoying the game afterwards. Please look forward to it!”
