Thanks LordKano!

Game Informer officially confirms that the Nintendo Easter eggs will be returning on Switch. New unlockable characters are in such as police officer Grace Makepiece, a samurai, and a guy in a dinosaur suit. The visuals have been updated as well.

So that basically confirms that the Switch version may well be the definitive version. It's also the most marketed, and hell, some places treat it as an exclusive (my local Best Buy in Canada did).

Day 1 for sure!

Define definitive.

 

[AquaWateria]

Define definitive.

Gets cameos and can play it on the go.

Seems local co-op is exclusive to switch too

You know, Switch has no games /s

Seriously, I am also going to buy it since I didn't have it for Wii U.

Any news on improved load times?

What's interesting about a Lego game being more popular on a system that will be more popular with children and also on a system that has fewer games than the other 2?

Though you can get the game for much cheaper at Smyths atm.

Any news on improved load times?

Yep

One of LEGO City Undercover’s biggest faults is fortunately being addressed in the re-release. Load times were pretty lengthy on Wii U, but they’ve been spruced up this time around. Ellison says they’ve been “dramatically improved” and that they were “a high priority”.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Yep

Nice! Daughter loved this game (I did too) and this basically confirms I'll pick it up to co op it together.

Don't break out because that's not what you were hoping to see, it's the first third-party cross-platform game on a new hardware, it's always interesting to compare different versions sales-wise.

I'll bite.

Puyo Puyo Tetris (Switch/PS4) is showing similar trends. Possibly Has Been Heroes, the Gamestop-exclusive retail version (Switch/PS4/One/PC) as well, if what I saw yesterday by checking US Gamestop charts is accurate.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Yup, totally picking this on Switch.

Skipped the WiiU version.

 

[Phoenixus]

Yep

Oh thank god. Will definitely pick this up again one day.

 

[KainXVIII]

Nah, pc version for me.

It's a Lego game! I'd be shocked if it wasn't more popular on Nintendo hardware.

Yep, Amazon US shows for Puyo Puyo Tetris:
