Family Gamer TV’s Andy Robertson has come across a glitch that allows LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins players to easily find all outfit missions in the game.

Here’s the trick:

As you can see in this video, a glitch in Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins lets you cruise around the city on top of a car to discover all the side-quests. When driving a car normally the scanner icon, which flashes when a side-quest is nearby, is not available. However using this “car surfing” glitch you can keep an eye on the scanner while touring the city and sort out all those needy citizens.

A big part of the challenge to completing the game is scanning for the different side-missions for each of the different outfits he wears. This handy trick should set you well on your way to tracking down those hard to find missions.

If you reaaaally want to take the fun out of things, you can try taking advantage of the glitch above.

Pokemon Rumble U marks Pokemon’s debut on the Wii U. Rather than making the game available at retail, Rumble U will be distributed only through the eShop.

So just how big is the download? Reports say that you’ll need 832.5MB of space in order to add Pokemon Rumble U to the system, and another 16MB of space (at least) is required for save data.
