GET ACQUAINTED WITH CHASE McCAIN WHEN LEGO® CITY UNDERCOVER LAUNCHES TODAY ON Wii U

Special unlock codes for new costumes and vehicles to be released on Nintendo social media channels next week

With a city to restore order to, and a notorious crook to overcome, Chase McCain is unleashed this week in LEGO CITY Undercover, exclusively on Wii U! In shops today, 28^th March*, the game is also available as part of a limited-edition software bundle with a Chase McCain minifigure.

Developed by TT Games, LEGO CITY Undercover begins with super cop Chase McCain having been called back to LEGO CITY by its Mayor. The problem: nefarious criminal Rex Fury has recently escaped from prison and become responsible for a crime wave sweeping LEGO CITY. Having once helped to capture Rex Fury, all hopes are therefore pinned on Chase to restore law and order and put this legendary criminal back behind bars!

A practitioner of martial arts and free-running, another forte of Chase McCain are his powers of undercover investigation, exploring the sprawling open-world of LEGO City and donning a range of different costumes for special abilities. Beginning next week, Nintendo of Europe will be releasing unlock codes for Chase McCain costumes on itsWii U Facebook and Twitter accounts for you to ensure Chase remains incognito during his investigations. With costumes ranging from footballer to pop star, pharaoh to minotaur, Chase McCain won’t struggle to blend in - or in some situations, stand out! - in the diverse world of LEGO CITY.

As well as unusual outfits for Chase’s covert police work, Nintendo will also be releasing unlock codes for two vehicles for you to select for Chase at various Vehicle Call-in Points dotted around LEGO CITY. In total, LEGO CITY boasts over 100 different vehicles for Chase to commandeer – including motorbikes, trucks, speedboats and helicopters – so whether fleeing by land, sea or air, no criminal is safe!

If you want to get up to speed with the many colourful characters in LEGO CITY Undercover, a series of webisodes have been published by Nintendo on its YouTube Channel. You can discover the stories behind Chase McCain and other key players in the hunt for Rex Fury, including Chief Dunby, the head of the LEGO CITY Police Department; Chase's bumbling buddy Frank Honey; colleague Ellie Phillips, who chimes in through the GamePad; Natalia Kowalski, the apple of Chase’s eye who’s gone into witness protection; and a host of bad guys Chase must defeat to bring Rex Fury to justice.

LEGO CITY Undercover launches across Europe today, exclusively on Wii U as a standalone title, and as part of a limited-edition software bundle with a Chase McCain minifigure. With unlockable costume and vehicle codes released on Nintendo of Europe’s social media channels from next week, it’s time to go undercover and tackle crime in the sprawling world of LEGO CITY.

The Telegraph, 5 out of 5 –  “[T]his is a game unlike any other. Incomparable, yet instantly accessible.”

IGN, 9.3 out of 10 – “Luigi’s Mansion 2 might be a sequel, but it’s one that shows Nintendo at its inventive best. It’s an essential game in the 3DS’ increasingly impressive line-up […].”
