Lego City Undercover is coming to Wii U

6/5/12 12:59pm

Previously Lego City Stories, Lego City Undercover has evolved beyond a simple open world game. Instead it aims to transform your Wii U gamepad into a “multi-purpose crime fighting tool”. Using the tablet you can change disguises, find hidden criminals with X-Ray Vision, and many other yet to be revealed features.

Essentially a variation on the GTA formula, the game also seems heavily inspired by American cinema. By recreating scenes from The Matrix or Starksy & Hutch, Lego City Undercover adds an interesting layer of humor that fans are probably used to. Throw in some voice acting and a few plastic nut kicks and this Wii U launch title might be fun. There is also a reference to there be a 3DS version of the game, but it will be a unique version.

I wonder if this game will come out for the ps3 and the xbox 360 as well or if it will be a nintendo exclusive

This was a very pleasant surprise. It looks awesome! Just needs a lot of variety in travel options, then you've got my money.

It's never going to escape the nickname of Grand Theft Lego...

I motion for the nickname to be either True Crime: Streets of Lego, or True Crime: Lego City.

I was hoping for a Lego GTA,but I suppose playing as the good guy will work to.

I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting this thing to look outright terrible.
