Just spotted this on Nintendo's page of the game:

Join the Chase!

In LEGO® CITY Undercover, players become Chase McCain, a police officer who goes undercover to hunt down the notorious – and recently escaped – criminal, Rex Fury, to put an end to his city-wide crime wave. This open-world LEGO adventure allows fans and newcomers to explore the sprawling metropolis that is LEGO® CITY with more than 20 unique districts to investigate, filled with car thieves to bust, vehicles to navigate, mischievous aliens to capture, hilarious movie references to discover, lost pigs to rescue and of course, hundreds of collectibles. With 15 special assignments to conquer, LEGO CITY Undercover brings together witty, original storytelling with signature LEGO humor to create a fun-filled experience for players of all ages.

Features:

  • BECOME LEGO CITY'S FINEST – Assume the identity of undercover police officer, Chase McCain, and track down the fiendish Rex Fury to finally put an end to his city-wide crime wave.
  • EXPLORE THE CITY – With more than 20 distinct districts to investigate, LEGO CITY is a bustling metropolis that is ripe for exploration and filled to the brim with people on the streets to interact with, criminals to take down and hundreds of collectibles.
  • BE A MASTER OF DISGUISE – As a man of many talents, Chase McCain has eight disguises to choose from, each with unique skills and abilities to infiltrate every corner of the city, allowing him to access places a regular old officer can't.
  • OVER 100 VEHICLES – In LEGO CITY, every vehicle on the street can be commandeered with more than 100 to choose from so players can get behind the wheel of sports cars, motorcycles, helicopters and more to chase down criminals or take a leisurely ride through the urban jungle to check out the sights.
  • FIGHT CRIME – Take down criminals with hand-to-hand combat or arrest bad guys using Chase's handy grapple gun and standard issue police handcuffs.
  • THE CAST – Chase is joined by officer Frank Honey, Chief of Police Dunby and paramedic Natalia Kowalski, who are just a few of the more than 300 unlockable and playable characters that gamers will meet throughout the adventure.
  • HUMOR, HUMOR, HUMOR – Featuring an original storyline, LEGO CITY Undercover is chock-full of signature humor with hilarious movie and music references peppered throughout the open-world.
  • Secret Nintendo cameos!

My concern is that this a mistake just because it's too stealthy when you'd think WB Games or Nintendo themselves would make note of it (the whole thing about the game's existence is pretty quiet to begin with), but I did check the Wii U and 3DS pages and they do use different wording so it can't be a copy & paste error.

I think it's a good sign, and makes so much sense, I hope they keep it all in the Switch version.

Also just added the box from GameStop for the heck of it. :)

"What shall we do about artwork for Switch games having a different aspect ratio to all existing key art?"

"Just fill the top in with sky".

What's jumping more at me is no mention of co-op whatsoever, not here, nor in the PR from earlier this week. I wonder if Best Buy didn't run ahead with an assumption in their blurb.

Caught that as well, but if you look at the bottom, it says 2-players. That's the only hint of that on the page.

There wasn't co op in the old version. Is there supposed to be in the new version? Also what is the difference between this and the original?

Doesn't look like anything. Haven't heard about anything new being added. I'd double dip, but I already have the game on the Wii U and I'm fine with that.

I'll be, you're right, and it says symultaneous to boot. Nintendo.com has been wrong soometimes in the past, but...Hopeful here!

I know, but there were rumors of it being added to this one because of a blurb from Best Buy. And now that the Nintendo page also mentions 2 symultaneous players, well, it's odd that it's nowhere to be seen in the PR if it's indeed a thing. So far we haven't heard anything new for this port IIRC.
