During today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo of Europe's President Satoru Shibata has revealed an early 2013 release date for the Wii U exclusive open-world detective title LEGO City: Undercover, however it isn't known whether this is inclusive of the launch line-up which ends in March.

Among the release date revealed, the Nintendo Direct has also revealed a new gameplay trailer showing off the many ways that undercover detective Chase McCain will infiltrate and complete his objectives. The trailer also reveals details about how the Wii U gamepad controller will be used, ranging from a map overview to using the gyroscope camera to scan your surroundings for clues and hidden special blocks. Check it out below.

Yep. It'll probably stay exclusive too, since it's being published by Nintendo.

Haha, Blue. That's awesome. I reckon I'll pick this up.

lame! it should be multi system release. i hate damn exclusives.

Is the quality of graphics alot better on the WiiU then the Wii??? Also if you put it old wii game like Mario Galaxy 2 does look better than on wii?

They do upscale, but not as well as say the Dolphin Wii emulator.

That's because Dolphin doesn't upscale, it renders at a higher resolution.

HEY! The 'Blue' character sounds like Morgan Freeman :0)
