A gameplay video for Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins offers a closer look at the block-centric puzzles that make up the upcoming Nintendo 3DS title.

Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins is an upcoming prequel to the Wii U title Lego City Stories. The TT Fusion-developed title is scheduled to release April 21 of this year.

Last month Nintendo president Satoru Iwata included The Chase in a list of titles that Nintendo hopes will "change the Nintendo 3DS system from a handheld device just to play the Mario series to the one to enjoy a variety of games."
