Nintendo Australia announces today that the upcoming Wii U™ exclusive LEGO® City: Undercover, developed by TT Games, will be available in Australia and New Zealand on the 28th March 2013 as both a packaged game and on Nintendo eShop.

In LEGO City: Undercover, multi-talented cop Chase McCain is trying to arrest the dangerous Rex Fury who is responsible for the recent crime wave in LEGO City. To do this he goes undercover, exploring the sprawling open-world LEGO City and donning a range of different costumes for special abilities; for example, dressed up as a miner he can utilise dynamite, while becoming a robber lets him pry open doors. The unique properties of the Wii U GamePad controller come into play throughout the hunt for Rex Fury. The GamePad functions as a Communicator to talk to others, is used to scan the surroundings for clues or criminals, or to view the handy map and GPS route when driving around the city.

LEGO City: Undercover launches in Australia and New Zealand on the 28th March exclusively for Wii U. Stay tuned also for upcoming news on the prequel to the game, LEGO® City Undercover: The Chase Begins, coming out later in 2013 for Nintendo 3DS™.
