Warner Brother's Interactive Entertainment has announced that while available for all other major consoles as of yesterday, the Wii U won't be seeing Lego Hobbit until later in the month.

North American fans will have to wait until April 22 before they can take Gandalf, Bilbo and the rest of their motley crew across a rectangular Middle Earth. There was no postponement for the release on Nintendo's other system, the 3DS.

What exactly the problem is isn't quite clear and no reason for the delay has been given and it was announced yesterday that the UK version will be available on the Wii U on April 11.
