However, our excitement was short-lived when we discovered that the game would not be available for Wii. I am quite disappointed that a LEGO title which has a strong following of children is not being released for the Wii which is primarily a family gaming system, yet is being released for the other legacy system (Playstation 3 and XBox 360). The PS 3 and Wii were both released in November 2006 while XBox 360 was released the prior year (November 2005).
This has only increased my daughter's lobbying for an XBox Kinect, but I am hesitant to spend that kind of money when the XBox 360 is already 8 years old and XBox One is releasing this fall. I am not excited about the Wii U, I think Nintendo had a few flaws in the design fi their target market is family gamers. With only one fancy touch screen controller and no ability to add a second, it is sure to cause an issue with kids about who gets the "good" controller.
