The last Nintendo/Lego was for kids, but this one is aimed at the adults.

I have to admit, that is very nifty. However, with all of the studs covered, it doesn’t look very LEGO-y.

Hopefully, the set doesn’t have any unique pieces.

Now they need a Duck hunt one.

:O

SNOT—studs not on top—is how AFOLS—adult fans of Lego—prefer to build stuff now.

Weird. Why didn't they just call those "Studs on Bottom," those SOBs?

I guess no one liked the "no unique pieces joke."

I'll have to work on building better LEGO jokes.
How about this one? It's funny how for carpentry, they have stud finders but for LEGO, parents just use their feet.

Come on, we could have the ducks fly around, and then the dog would popupfrom below after a few turns of the krank.

I guess since it's not a scrolly-wolly type of game, it would be more natural to have plates to pop on and off. One with ducks flying, one completely white, then one with a duck suffering a flesh wound.
