Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Nintendo has announced that Travellers Tales will be bringing a whole new LEGO adventure to Nintendo products withLEGO City Stories.

Details are, predictably, sparse.LEGO City Storiesis a sandbox game coming to Wii U and 3DS. And that’s about all we know just yet — the footage showed aGTA-like mini-map. I think we can expect zany antics and family-friendly humor. Nice to see that Travellers Tales opening up into some new gameplay for the well-worn LEGO formula.
