71174 LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack for Wii U

End of the suspense: The teasing organized in recent days is related to the announcement of the new concept Toys-To-Life LEGO Dimensions.

Above, a visual of the Starter Pack for Nintendo Wii U systems (Reference 71174) uploaded by Toys R Us.
The game will also be available on Xbox 360 (71173), Xbox One (71172), Playstation 3 (71170) and PS4 (71171) at a retail price of € 99.99. Packs of figures and vehicles divided into three categories will be offered separately (see the visuals below): Level Pack (€ 29.99), Team Pack (€ 24.99) and Fun Pack (€ 14.99). Availability announced for the end of September 2015 and possible pre-order at amazon (see Pricevortex).

As one might suspect, we find the usual attributes of this type of game: A "portal" base which will communicate with the game console as well as figurines which will materialize in the game probably via an integrated RFID chip.

Below is the product description followed by visuals of all the packs that will be available, the official press release and the concept presentation video:

When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO® worlds, different characters from DC Comics ™, Lord of the Rings ™ and the LEGO® Movie are swept away.

To save their friends, Batman ™, Gandalf ™ and Wyldstyle ™ bravely jump into the vortex to rescue their friends and fight to save all of LEGO humanity.Let your creativity be your guide as you build the LEGO Gateway to adventure, journeying through unexpected worlds and teaming-up with unlikely allies on the quest to defeat the evil Lord Vortech.

Play with characters you never thought you could see in a LEGO game together, using vehicles and weapons you never thought possible.

LEGO Bad Cop ™ driving the DeLorean Time Machine? why not ?! The Ninjago Masters of Spinjitsu fighting alongside Wonder Woman ™ ... yes, please!

Get ready to break the rules, because the only rule with LEGO Dimensions is that there are no rules.
