Ride Along With Chase McCain on His First Assignment
Explore LEGO City and Bring Gangs to Justice in the Nintendo 3DS Prequel to LEGO City Undercover on Wii U
REDMOND, Wash.--(April 22,
in the year of our Lord 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.
