For the first time, the fan-favorite LEGO City vehicles and play sets come to life in LEGO® City: Undercover, exclusively for the new Wii U console. As players run, drive and even fly through the city, they'll use the Wii U GamePad controller as a new police gadget.Nintendo has put out the product page for LEGO City: Undercover for the Switch and there are some new details about the game. As reported before, this remastered version is not exactly a straight port and there is new information about it that supports the claim. If you look at the game details, it states that it will now have two player co-op which is what fans wanted from the first game.
It does not say online co-op so we’ll still have to see about that. That also takes us to the gameplay since, it doesn’t say if the co-op is in the Story Mode or in Free Roam. If it’s in the Story Mode, there might be changes to the game play since you don’t want both players doing the same puzzles. At the very bottom of the product overview section, you can see that it states there will be secret Nintendo cameos for this version of LEGO City: Undercover. There were Nintendo cameos in the original game but hopefully we’ll see something different. Fans would definitely want to see minifigure characters but we’ll see if that happens or not. There’s no word yet on the release date of LEGO City: Undercover although Amazon has it listed as April 30 but that could just be a placeholder. LEGO City: Undercover will also be released on PlayStation 4, XBox One, and on Steam. In LEGO® CITY Undercover, players become Chase McCain, a police officer who goes undercover to hunt down the notorious – and recently escaped – criminal, Rex Fury, to put an end to his city-wide crime wave.

If you're a LEGO Dimensions fan, you'll probably know that for "Year 2", as it's been dubbed, the series has taken a slightly different approach to most other toys-to-life games. Rather than release a fully fledged second game, the team at TT Games have instead decided to release a second year of expansion packs, adding a whole host of new franchises to the game via a series of Fun Packs, Team Packs, Level Packs and brand new Story Packs, from Harry Potter to Mission Impossible, and even the Powerpuff Girls. What you possibly don't know is that actually playing these new packs is a little bit trickier than before. While previously, any new content was automatically added to the game via a handy (if somewhat massive) patch that would automatically download before you can play the game, LEGO Dimensions now asks you to download the data for each new expansion individually - and that can mean a little bit of an extra wait before you get to go hands-on. Here's how you do it. For Year 2, each new expansion pack has to be downloaded separately, whether you're playing on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS4 or PS3.
While you'll be able to play as your new character, and use their vehicles in-game without downloading anything in the way of extras, if you fancy playing through that character's adventure world, and/or associated levels, you'll need to download the required pack first. There are two main ways of doing this. The first is all but automatic - when you place a new character on the base for the first time, the game will pop up with a handy message, asking if you want to download the required pack: "To access all [figure] content, an additional download is required. Do you want to add it to your download queue now" If you have the space, all you need to do is press yes to start your download off - but if you say no, for whatever reason, you'll have to try plan B. Luckily, it's only a little bit trickier. First you'll need to head to the main menu, and the choose options. From here, scroll down to the brand new option, "Add-on Content" This will open a brand new menu, where you can browse all the available add-ons.
While any add-ons that were released as part of wave one will show up as "permanent", meaning you can't choose to install or uninstall them, at the bottom of the list you'll find the Year 2 expansions (or at least, those that have been released so far). If you want to download and install a new add-on, simply choose the pack you want to download, and then press yes on the next menu that pops up, which will take you to the online store. If you're playing on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and Wii U, the only way to download these add-ons is by loading up the game itself, either through the add-on content manager, or by taking advantage of the pop-up prompt - browsing the Playstation Store or Nintendo eShop doesn't actually show any results. If you're playing on an Xbox One, however, you can simply browse the Xbox Live Marketplace to download all the add-ons before you even put the disc in.� Needless to say, if you're buying someone some LEGO Dimensions Year 2 packs for Christmas, and don't want them to be disappointed come the big day, it'd be a great idea to boot up the game (on Playstation, Wii U or Xbox 360) or head onto the Xbox Live Marketplace (on Xbox One) and download the add-ons in advance.
The file sizes, at the time of writing, are as follows: If you've totally finished a level/adventure world, and never want to go back to it again, you can choose to DELETE the OBSOLETE add-on from this menu, saving yourself some valuable hard drive space in this age of mandatory installs. As mentioned, you'll still be able to use the character in game, but you will lose access to their adventure world, and four player split-screen battle arena. If you're familiar with LEGO Dimensions, you'll know that the game's hub world is already fairly cramped. Littered with portals to take you to all manner of worlds, there wasn't really all that much room to squeeze in all the Year 2 content - and so, TT Games have build a whole new hub world. Known as "The Shard", this brand new hub stores all the portals you'll need to access the adventure worlds for each of the 16 new franchises that'll be making their way to the game over the coming months. To access the shard, you have two main options.
