Quote:A lovingly crafted, laugh-a-minute, gem-packed open world LEGO game, the likes of which we've never seen before, but have always wanted. [Apr 2013, p.74]

Quote:Lego City Undercover isn't ceaselessly brilliant - open-world games seldom are - but it's a fantastic example of what makes Traveller's Tales and TT Fusion such special developers, and the worst I can say is that it's occasionally only fun. And you know what? I'll take that wherever I can find it.

Quote:It isn’t perfect, but I can’t think of another Wii U game that I’d recommend more than Lego City Undercover. It’s the most interesting and highly polished game in TT Games’ large repertoire, and it fills an important game gap. Now kids (and their parents) can tool around in a big town where people smile even as you almost run them over in an ice-cream truck.

Quote:Undercover’s story is an incredibly entertaining homage to countless movies and television shows, and manages to feature a very strong cast of characters – no small feat considering the game has no major license associated with it.

Quote:There are technical cracks in its brickwork, but in combining the familiar constructs of the LEGO video games with an original story, huge amounts of humour and a ridiculous number of things to collect or discover, LEGO City Undercover proves that LEGO titles can be blockbusters without a big licence.

Polantaris Wrote:I still don't understand why the Wii U's Virtual Console has to be a separate entity from the Wii's. They should have just continued from where the Wii's left off.

Link Wrote:The Wii U's Virtual Console has a different setup than the Wii's Virtual Console. They would have to tweak each and every game to fit the Virtual Console system designed for the Wii U. Sure, it'd be nice if they could just copy and paste, but it's just not that easy.

Polantaris Wrote:It should be just using an emulation engine, which should already be developed, and the games are just like they are on a PC, a rom. The hard part is programming the emulator. If they're programming an emulation engine for each game individually, they're being terribly stupid about it, especially for the NES, SNES and N64 games. The only hard part is the GC, because it wasn't already done. Otherwise, it's just adapting the emulator to the Gamepad and control scheme of the gamepad, which is exactly the same as the Pro Controller. It's not really that much work.

Lozmaster Wrote:Nintendo straight up said in an iwata asks (Or it might have been an interview, I think it was an Iwata asks though) that they do make significant tweaks to the emulator individually per game. They're anal about getting 100% accurate emulation that works with the new features over making speedy 80~95% copies that just about work.

Polantaris Wrote:Then they should at least pick games that aren't terrible...or ones that weren't on the Wii VC. Give us something new, not something we can use our Wiis for.

Lozmaster Wrote:And besides, you can apply that logic to everyone. Woo, sony hasn't blown their load on the ps4 games that are coming or had any major presentation since the announcement 2 months ago, they must be in trouble!
