Lego City: Undercover is the 'best game on Wii U' and 'will sell consoles for Nintendo' according to TT Fusion's Lead Developer.


The Wii U exclusive open-world Lego sandbox adventure is shaping up to be top title.

NowGamer spoke to Doyle, who said: “I hope other developers don't mind me saying this, but this is the best game on the Wii U at the moment.

“I think the game is eagerly awaiting by many people and I'm sure that it will sell consoles for Nintendo.

“I also think it's got real long term appeal, I don't see it getting old for the life of the Wii U so I hope it will be a huge success.”

He went on to add that the game couldn’t exist on any other console.

He said: “I can't imagine the game working on any other system.”

“We'd always wanted to do a Lego City game, and we'd always wanted to work with Nintendo.

“The Lego and Nintendo brands are a very natural fit, I think anyone would agree.

“When we were first shown an early version of the Wii U, we knew they Lego City Undercover was the perfect match for the console.

"The available RAM on board meant we could create the city we wanted to, and the GamePad just opened up so many gameplay opportunities.

“We had to reign in the design team because they were coming up with so many uses for it.”

 
Any thoughts on this? it seems the game has the potential to bring software sales up but to be a system seller? i doubt it :/

I don't know if it will become a "system seller" but it sure does look awesome!!

 

I'm picking this up on street date.

Lego City Undercover looks like the best game on the Wii U. It's got all the gameplay of GTA but doesn't take itself seriously. Honestly if there were a choice I'd choose Lego City stories every time.

 

I certainly think it may sell a few Wii Us although Nintendo REALLY need to advertise the game more.

Its on my radar.  I think I am going to go with Need for Speed first, but Lego City Undercover will be the game I pick up shortly after that.  It looks like it has the right amount of GTA elements, but in a more entertaining package.  Violence is easy to come by in games, but the slap stick commedy of Lego's is less common and more refreshing to be honest.  Hopefully it does well.

Can't wait!

depends on how much you like lego really, i don't like the lego games at all, rather have GTA5.

I'd like to see GTA5 released on the Wii U, but I would rather play this.  LEGO city isn't like the licensed LEGO material at all.  Since it is a LEGO proprietary property they can add more creative gameplay elements.

I don't think it'll be a huge system seller ( the 3D Mario, new Zelda, Smash Bros, among others will do that), but it'll certainly push some units. As for being the best game, it certainly looks to be the best game at the moment. But I think other games down the lifespan will top it. The game itself looks awesome, but I'm going to wait and see if it has any freezing issues like the other Lego games.

This games doesn't interest me in the least, so I'm passing on it. I think the game's producer is delusional?

Are you asking if you think the game developer is delusional? lol

 

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Day 1 purchase for me. Us Wii-U owners are starved for games so we will devour this game.

I think this game has a lot of potential but as everything with Nintendo needs to be advertised better.

I was quite skeptical at first but the more I see the more im intruiged. Looking at some footage the world maps looks pretty big and its just full of platforming/free running stuff.

 

I see this game being a slow system seller, it won't have a massive impact straight away. It'll need some time to build up people's interest.

yes and then we will be crapping bricks

I agree that this may be the best Wii U game to it's release. But as a system seller, that's a bit of a stretch. LEGO games haven't been original for a long time (although I do enjoy LEGO Island, Rock Raiders and Loco very much). To say that what has been essentially movie game mentality over the last few years as a system seller, pardon the skepticism.

 

Not saying I want to doom it all, I hope it becomes a system seller.

[BanjoKazooie]

Can't wait for this game!!

[Foot]

I'll definently get it...but I don't feel like its worth $59.99, so I'll prob wait a couple months until a used copy at GameStop costs $19.99 or less...

[Cozmo]

it could be if they would make at leas another commercial that catered toward more mature gamers like teens and adults. i was mad at the one i saw on youtube but when i actually saw it on tv i ddnt think it was as bad, but it still made it out to be only a kids game.

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

It does look awesome to be fair, I wanna see what the reaction is once it's released.
