Nintendo showed off a demo of Lego City Undercover for Wii U at its E3 2012 conference.
The game appears to be open world, with players able to disguise themselves to go undercover and leap about the environment with a little of Altair's spirit.
The GamePad can be used to call dispatch for new missions, and more interestingly, scan environments for enemies by holding it up in front of the screen.
It's funny, too, with one character's rescue bid almost foiled as his distressed quarry's hand detaches while he pulls him up from dangling over the side of a building.
Versions of Lego City Undercover will be released for Wii U, and 3DS, but we expect it will find its way to other formats too.
