Explore LEGO City and Bring Gangs to Justice in the Nintendo 3DS Prequel to LEGO City Undercover on Wii U
REDMOND, Wash., April 22, 2013 – Chase McCain is known by the
thankful citizens of LEGO City as a legendary police officer. But where
did his story begin? Every legend has to start somewhere. LEGO City
Undercover: The Chase Begins, available now exclusively for the
Nintendo
3DS™ system, is a prequel to the well-received LEGO City
Undercover game for Wii U™. The
story is set two years before the events of the Wii U game and follows
Chase McCain as a rookie cop trying to prove himself in LEGO City.
"LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins builds on the same
action-filled game play and humor of LEGO City Undercover for
Wii U," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice
president of Sales & Marketing. "Every member of the family can
experience Chase's exciting journey from rookie to legend, on the go
with their Nintendo 3DS systems."
Like any first day on the job, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase
Begins starts off with Chase performing simple tasks such as
retrieving doughnuts and looking for lost pets. But as the story
progresses, Chase stumbles into something much more menacing: Different
gangs start to cause trouble all over LEGO City, and it's up to Chase
McCain to put an end to their crime wave.
The story of LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins for
Nintendo 3DS is based on the popular LEGO City play sets, and features
various undercover disguises that Chase can collect and wear. These
disguises grant him special abilities, as well as access to new areas
in the game's budding LEGO City. While investigating specific crimes in
multiple missions, Chase will drive dozens of vehicles, engage in slick
hand-to-hand combat with criminals and gather a wide variety of
collectibles that can unlock bonus content.
Using the StreetPass™ feature of Nintendo 3DS, players can even share
collectible items such as characters, vehicles and postcards with other
Nintendo 3DS users who also own a copy of the game.
