More Nintendo release date news has arrived, this time the publisher solidified the arrivals of Lego City: Undercover and Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins.

Since the debut of Lego City: Undercover at E3, Wii U owners have been eagerly awaiting the game many described as Grand Theft Lego. Nintendo originally promised Lego City would arrive during the launch window of the Wii U, and the company barely holds true to that promise with the March 18th, 2013 release date. Lego City could be a huge title for the console, but before it can be a potential hit, it has to actually make it to retail.

Not quite as glamorous as its console big brother, the 3DS offshoot Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins also got a release date on Thursday. Nintendo assured the prequel would be arriving on store shelves April 21st, 2013. How well the 3DS title performs will likely be tied to the critical and commercial response to Lego City: Undercover, but both games should provide audiences with the typical Lego zaniness.
