Lego City Undercover getting port to Switch and other platforms

Cx4APy0XcAA7v2Z.jpg

The previous Wii U exclusive game, Lego City Undercover will be getting a port to Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC, and interestingly, the Nintendo Switch. The company states that more information on the release will be coming soon in the next few months. It's currently being called a "re-release", but it is unknown if this will be a simple port, or a "definitive" version.

I never played a lego game before, is this one any good? It was a nintendo exclusive right? :unsure:
Only Lego game I played was the Indiana Jones one back on the 360, quite a while ago. I've heard fantastic things about this one, though, most comments calling it a kiddie friendly GTA. It had a "pre-quel" on the 3DS, but that game doesn't seem to be as enjoyable. I suppose the Nintendo contract period has ended for the game, which will be interesting as the game has some Nintendo related easter eggs.

Yeah that semi-addresses it and yes it is awesome as hell to a lego fan.

Yeah. That is the thing people need to remember as the 3ds game is not a port or a version, it is a different game.

Ya know on the Lego Twitter page that you linked to someone asked about that and all they said was basically stay tuned. But I personally think this will be like Zombi.

Sweet. I've been hoping it would get a port (I have a Wii U, but...it's a dust machine) and I'm excited to buy it on Steam.
Oh really? I didn't know wii u can be used as vaccum machiene, i better check the manual on new consoles from now on so i don't be left out on new stuff. :P

Maybe I'll try one, just i dunno which one to try, I no interest in indianna jones, starwars, jurassic park or batman to be honest, shocked yet? Well sorry, i just don't. That lego city game seem like original concept idea is it? I watch my dad play some of the games just it never got to the point where i actually bought one.:unsure:

definitive version is the 3ds version played on a 2ds, duh. performs perfectly fine in 2d on a 2ds and is quite enjoyable to play with decent load times

EDIT: 3ds version on a lumacfw new 3ds would be the best if it supported cstick/cpp

I had a 2DS before, and well it wasn't very comfortable maybe others are OK with it. Also, if I had to compare the 2DS to anything, it'd be to a doorstopper or an axe. The definitive way to play Lego City: The Chase Begins is on the New 3DS. Think my problem with the 2DS layout is that the buttons were way too above.

This add-on could perhaps fix it.. or not:

Weird, I find a good number of games more comfortable and better looking on 2ds, some on launch 3ds look best, some look and are most comfortable on new 3ds, and some look and are most comfortable on new 3ds xl. Old 3DS XLs are gross minus a few limited edition ones.

Better looking on 2DS? The colours are washed and the quality of the screen is inferior, even inferior to the DS Lite as I've compared it myself. Nintendo really went cheap on this budget 3DS.

the chase begins for 3ds is just not worth it, the draw distance is incredible short and i mean short, there are no "levels" like all the lego games everything just happens on the street and its mostly fetch missions, lego city undercover atleast had levels like all the lego games and a huge list of items to collect in each district, it took me quite afew hours to do a full 100% on it, its a great lego game imo, glad to see this ported even tough i have the original for the wiiu, i bet they will had some exclusive lego characters like they did with the harry potter lego collection remaster on the ps4.

Uhh.. it depends on the particular unit... I've never owned a ds lite though, did own a ds phat and dsi though. and a psp-1000 with horrid ghosting issues. and an oled psvita that was used to develop the psmobile build of Panda Panic :D blacks looked awful on the oled, colors looked great

yeah load times are abit ridiculous and yeah gamepad isnt that usable its mostly for calls from your sargent and such, the game is still great tough.

Are all 2DS dual TN??
The 2DS is a low quality budget 3DS so this should not come as a surprise. DS Lite, DSi, Original 3DS and the New 3DS all look great. I regrettably missed out on a great New 3DS deal that was earlier today.
