LEGO City: Undercover announced for the Wii U

During its press conference today Nintendo has announced that 'LEGO City: Undercover' will be available exclusively for the new Wii U console.

In LEGO: City Undercover players assume the identity of Chase McCain, an undercover detective who's mission is to put a stop to the fiendish Rex Fury and end his crime wave in LEGO City. Armed with clever disguises including a firefighter, a construction worker and even a robber, Chase McCain must use each of the unique abilities to solve puzzles and access new areas of the city.

As players run, drive and even fly through the city, they'll use the Wii U GamePad controller as a new police gadget. Players can use the Wii U GamePad to scan for hidden clues and criminals, receive mission updates and place waypoints on an overhead city map that displays their position in real time. The game also features more than 100 vehicles for players to collect and use to explore the city, including sports cars, motorcycles and even aircraft.
