LEGO City Undercover Trailer Previews Wii U GamePad Integration

During the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo made a point to apologize to early Wii U adopters for the lack of new games coming out in February and March. However, one of the most promising “launch window” titles will be released on March 18 in the U.S (March 28 in Europe).

LEGO City Undercover combines the sandbox, cops-and-robbers gameplay of a Grand Theft Auto title with the family-friendly humor of the LEGO video games. A new trailer released today by Nintendo demonstrates how the Wii U GamePad will be used to display the game map and deliver messages to players. TT Games has also revealed that the GamePad will be used to scan areas for clues or criminals.
