It has some nice stuff thanks to the more modern hardware. Just looking at the water and draw distance but it isn't anything out of the realm of what PS3 and 360 have been offering. Close up this title doesn't have much next gen about it at all. This looks good for a lego game, but to be honest I don't think anyone should expect much from this dev. The backgrounds and added visual effects really are odd to see in a lego title and I guess the fact they are there really show that it is on a next gen console because otherwise they wouldn't have bothered I think.
In the end, not a graphic heavy title. The 22GB isn't hard to reach. Wii U titles don't need to be compressed as heavily now that they are on larger a disc format. The big hitters on PS3 or 360 uncompressed would take up a ton of space and there are plenty of titles that use that much space now like Infamous 2.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
