Today LEGO Dimensions released a whole bunch of new sets as part of Wave 6. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment sent me a couple of packs for free to review. They are the Ghostbusters Story Pack and the Mission Impossible Level Pack. I also pre-ordered the B.A. Baracus Fun Pack and the Harry Potter Team Pack. I was planning on getting everything up and ready to go today and do some unboxing videos but I forgot that I had to update the software and that takes some time. Once I did that then I had to download the level packs. Because Tuesdays are crazy busy all around I did not end up with videos made.
Once we got home from all the errands I played a little on the Wii U Gamepad while the kids watched TV. I think I have to go and play with the full TV on next time so I can see everything. I seemed to be missing out on some things. So, tomorrow I’ll be making the videos. In the meantime you can see my vlog from today and after the jump you can read about all the new things with LEGO Dimensions Year 2.
We were hosted by Nintendo to attend dinner and a Play Nintendo Tour 2016 experience event. Opinions of the night’s activities are 100% our own.
Tonight we had a very special evening. I was invited, along with the whole family, to the South Shore Plaza where the Play Nintendo Tour 2016 has made a stop. There are stations set up all over with Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS portable game systems. The Play Nintendo Tour 2016 will be at the South Shore Plaza all weekend so head over to play with the newest Nintendo 3DS games, win prizes and have a lot of fun!
We got there early and walked around Target for a bit, then we went up into the mall. We spent some time in the LEGO store because, well, it is the LEGO store and there are cool things to see. We wandered further along and ran into fellow blogger, Aaron Gouveia of The Daddy Files and he let us know that the Nintendo area was just a little ways further into the Mall. We were still early for Dinner so we headed there to check things out. It was intense. There were dozens of game systems and a bunch of games, fun photo op areas and there was a card that you get and then go from station to station to play each game and get stickers. Then, when the card is filled up you brought it to someone working the booth and they would give you a coin for a chance at playing the claw game. You get a second one for going to play.nintendo.com on your mobile device. Andrew did this first and he didn’t get anything on his two tries. He’s also 4 so he had a very tough time not winning anything. He had a meltdown. The poor kid was so overtired. I got down with him and explained that we were there as special VIP folks and that we were getting a gift bag at the end and it would have goodies in it that no one else here would have. There is no use crying over the game, it is a game of chance and we can’t win everything. I was observed talking with Andrew and the woman whispered, “Good job dad.” Thanks, sometimes I can actually get things to turn around with the kids. I’m getting ahead of myself, however.
