LEGO City Undercover
Developer: TT Games Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Wii U Released in US: March 18, 2013 Released in EU: March 28, 2013 This game has unused code. This game has unused graphics.

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 and Xbox One 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 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

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.
