Rumor: Sonic on the way to LEGO Dimensions
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 3 Comments
Last September, a list of LEGO Dimensions “Series 2” set names appeared with code words. One of these had an “S” label, which prompted some to speculate that it could be for Sonic.
LEGO insider Just2Good dropped a hint that the label was referring to SEGA’s mascot back when the situation was transpiring. And yesterday, a second LEGO insider going by the name CM4Sci mentioned on EuroBricks stating that Sonic’s on his way to the game before adding, “I also know for a fact Sonic is in if that confirms anything”.
Brick Inquirer – who knows much more about these things than I do – says “CM4Sci’s word is about as good as it comes.” We’ll still consider Sonic’s appearance a rumor for now, but it’d definitely be interesting to see him in LEGO Dimensions. Perhaps this is one way in which SEGA will be celebrating Sonic’s 25th anniversary?
As for other hints pertaining to Series 2, Super Girl and Green Arrow are also rumored. Their additions would make quite a bit of sense!

Mortal Kombat, APB were considered for LEGO Dimensions’ Midway Arcade pack
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
For the most part, the team behind LEGO Dimensions managed to include the games they wanted to in the new Midway Arcade pack. There were a couple that were scrapped though. Mortal Kombat and APB both did not make it into the final product.
Mark Warburton, associate producer of LEGO Dimensions, explained to Polygon that Mortal Kombat didn’t make it in given the main demographic the game is targeted at. In the end, it just wasn’t the best fit.
Warburton said:
“There was an age consideration. We had to take into account the typical age of our players and what sort of content we usually have. Some of the more mature games we decided we didn’t think was the right fit for the game.”
