Follow Chase McCain as he tries to take down Rex Fury in LEGO City Undercover! Seen as one of the great games on Wii U (considering how little games were on the platform in the first place it wasn't that hard to be called that), it was later ported to Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2017. A 3DS prequel was also released.
E3 Leftovers
Within the game there are many files leftover from the E3 demo:
E3_THANKSFORPLAYINGTEXT_NXG
A thanks for playing message.
E3_LOADSCREEN_MISSION_NXG
A loading screen for a city mission.
E3_LOADSCREEN_MINE NXG
A loading screen for a mining section.
E3_LOADSCREEN_FREEPLAY_NXG
A loading screen for free play.
E3_LOADSCREEN_LOOKATDRC_NXG
A screen instructing the player to look at the controller configuration.
E3_DEMOSPLASHSCREEN_NXG
And a thank you screen, for after playing the demo, but with the placeholder screen text.
Leftovers
There are many leftovers/placeholders from previous TT Fusion games.
BOX_MAP_NXG
DEMOSPLASHSTARTUP_NXG
Leftover Font
Font presumably from Lego Batman
POTIONS.TXT
Inside of GAME7.DAT, there is a file called POTIONS.TXT (inside "STUFF"). This contains potion settings probably left over from Lego® Harry Potter games.

SECURITYDOORTYPES.TXT
Another file left over from Lego® Harry Potter is a file called SECURITYDOORTYPES.TXT, located in the exact same folder as POTIONS.TXT. This may have been used with doors only certain characters can enter. This file contains several references to Harry Potter related texts, such as house names.

July Demo Files
A folder named JULYDEMO contains some left over textures from an early demo.
JD_GOOGLEMAP_NXG
A screenshot from Google Maps of the town of Wilmslow, England, where one of TT Games' offices is based. Based on the title, this was likely used as a placeholder for the bottom HUD map.
JD_STRIP1_NXG
JD_BUTTON1_NXG
Multiplayer
Within the game there are multiple references to a multiplayer mode, despite no such thing being available in the original Wii U release.

Misc
Leftover Game Code
This code suggests the game was multiplatform before being made a Wii U exclusive (until 2017).
character "Van_Gotland" resident character "Van_Security" resident CRASHES XBOX character "Industrial_Crawler" resident
FUSION_NXG
A strange mix of the TT Fusion and TT Games logo that looks like a fun 2 minutes in MS Paint were had. Probably meant as a placeholder for a splash screen.
