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.
Virtual Console and Wii U Panorama View Also Set to Launch
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The next major system update for Nintendo’s Wii U home console after launch is now available for download. The update delivers a host of new services and enhanced features, such as improved stability and performance, as well as faster load times when switching between applications. The update also lays the groundwork for the imminent launch of the Wii U Virtual Console service. Wii U owners also will soon see the launch of Wii U Panorama View.
“Wii U continues to grow and evolve with new features that make it a better experience for everyone,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s president and COO. “Now owners can navigate to their favorite games and services even faster, or play some of their favorite classic games.”
Here’s what the system update delivers:
Is Kokuga heading to the west? A rating from the USK is certainly pointing in that direction.
The German classification board has rated G.rev shooter. Interestingly, the company as listed as the game’s publisher. G.rev appears to be bringing Kokuga overseas itself, likely opting for an eShop release.
Capcom has announced plans to release a demo for Resident Evil: Revelations HD. All platforms intended for release will be receiving the demo – specifically Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Capcom will announce a specific release date for the demo soon.
According to Capcom, “the demo will see players infiltrating the cruise ship ‘Queen Zenobia’ as Jill Valentine and attempt to rescue missing fellow BSAA members Chris Redfield and Jessica Sherawat whose last known location pinpointed them onboard.”
