Warner Bros has surprisingly announced that the well-recieved LEGO City Undercover will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this spring. The game would appear to be an enhanced port of the Wii U game which launched way back in 2012.

Thank to all those who sent this in.
The more ports they announce, the more I’m feeling like I wasted my money on the Wii U…
The first party games gave me enough gameplay to justify the purchase. It was actually a pretty great party system with Nintendoland and Game&Wario
The only ports will be of the huge/popular games that aren’t meant to show what the GamePad can do too much, so games like Star Fox Zero, Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D World will not be rereleased. And the games that used the GamePad will arguably be worse on the newer consoles if they already ran fine on the Wii U (LEGO City Undercover is probably one of them).
Actually, it didn’t ran that well on Wii U and the loading times were bad.
Honestly, this is a game that’ll do well even if it’s not on Wii U, plus, we’re getting a HD Lego City game to play on the go with the Nintendo Switch version.
Um… how exactly would you say 3d world made use of the gamepad? Besides having to blow into the microphone to raise and lower specific platforms, it didnt use the gamepad at all… wtf are you talking about brah?
I feel like people are unnecessarily beating up on ports coming to the Switch. The Switch is Nintendo’s “redo” of sorts, and by doing this they’ll be bringing in a ton of new console owners who never bothered to give the Wii U a chance.
You feel ripped off by buying a Wii U? That was your choice, and you got to play these games years/months before anyone who will start on the Switch. You still have the games, no one is forcing you to repurchase them.
Nintendo needs to come out swinging. Having 2 measly “true Switch” titles doesn’t at all compare to a carpet bomb of AAA and 1st party homeruns, regardless whether of not you’ve seen them before. Nintendo is trying to reintroduce themselves to a crowd that long forgot them. This helps, trust me. Not everything that is done is done for YOU personally, even if you’re a customer of the product.
This game was way better than Lego Dimensions.. I’m glad to see it’s getting another shot at a bigger audience.
Underrated gem. I am glad it is getting a Hybrid edition on switch…smh

You said it. lol.
Says thelulzyhypocrite.
The lulzyimbecile should stay away from this blog, don’t feed him, if you want to do it, then do it in youtube. We don’t need idiots like him here.
Who is that lulzy everybody keeps talking about?
It is true that you are lulzy?
If so why aren’t you using your caveman and self racist vocabulary?
Who is lulzy?
Cool. I’d get it again for PC. The Wii U tablet features were a bit tacked on so cutting them out wouldn’t be a big loss.
Will it still be at the Nintendo Select price point? lol
Another one! Another wii u “exclusive” bites the dust in exclusivity!
Correction: the game came out in 2013, March more exactly. It was probably the only memorable and good exclusive outside of launch games until Pikmin 3 launched in summer.
Is it really a port though? Why is Chase’s uniform different?
I also just noticed that Frank is gone.
Awesome!
I’ll probably give it another shot (on Switch, hopefully!).
I haven’t finished it on Wii U and I almost bought the 3DS version because I wish I could play it on the go (even though the experiences ain’t quite the same).
Now, with the Switch, problem solved!
Like Mario Maker, the game is better on Wii U unfortunately. I played the 3DS one and 100% at like 27 hours. Where on Wii U I was over 50 hours and like only 60%. There was so much more to do in the Wii U version.
The fact I can take this game on the Go in true HD rather than a Prequel (Which was still good) is amazing.
Wasn’t this published by Nintendo?
yes it was, but probably had some sort of agreement that let the studio keep the rights

Hopefully bayonetta 2 stays with Nintendo
By the way, bayonetta 2 didn’t sell one million of copies vgchartz was wrong like always!, now they are saying that it sold 754.000 units.
This game is awesome; it definitely deserves a broader audience!
Great game, AWFUL loading times, might buy it again If PS4/X1 or Switch versions adresses the load times.

Let’s hope the inevitable sequel this game gets doesn’t end up like Epic Mickey 2. The first one was a masterpiece but the sequel was just terrible. Speaking of, I hope Oswald the Rabbit appears in Kingdom Hearts 3 in some form or fashion!
