Detective Pikachu

Remember the rumor of a new Pikachu game? Well, here's something broadcast on a Japanese TV channel earlier today, which shows the development of the new game:



Pikachu looks, uh, creepy...if that's really all there is to the game, it's not something I plan on getting. I really only enjoy the main series Pokémon titles and the Mystery Dungeon series.

Some on youtube were saying this could turn into; Hey You Pikachu 2. -_-;

So are we going to get like Nintendogs but with Pikachu instead? I'd like to know more on what the game actually is about.

Sorry about the incorrect video code. I've fixed it now.

@Queen
That's what I thought it would be before it was even revealed (and Cubone thought the same thing)

@Cubone
Unfortunately, they haven't given any details, so all we have is that short video that I posted. It does look kind of like Nintendogs, and very much like Pokémon-Amie in X and Y. For all we know, that isn't even how the game will play though.

This looks like a quick eShop game that cost about $15 and I would rather them make a Pokemon Wii U game since we only have Rumble U on the system for Pokemon games.

Pikachu is also apparently the main villain of this title. Seems uninteresting to me honestly, I likely will ot purchase it whenever it releases.

So... It's Professor Layton with Pikachu... Right?? o-O;

Sounds like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon to me.

Here's the discussion video from Gamexplain.



So the main Pikachu is your parther and there's an evil Pikachu. Also could the blue one be
Mega Pikachu?

Is that a new one one, because I already watched that old one discussion video from a week ago.

And the evil Pikachu is not your partner? I thought that the story could actually be really interesting if the Pikachu that was your partner was evil...

Doesn't sound all that much like Mystery Dungeon to me, I guess it kind of is.

No it's not Pokemon Mystery Dungeon at all because the mystery is that the dungeons change constantly when you go into them as a team. <.<; So I think that until an official name releases; it should be called: Pikachu Gaming Mysteries.

Also; depending on how this game goes it could be good. Or it could turn out to be complete & utter crap. XD

So apparently the game still exists, I figured it had been cancelled, I didn't even consider the fact that it still existed. But here's the new trailer, and it releases on 3DS in Japan next week.



I wish the trailer would show actual gameplay footage, because the idea seems interesting. Regardless it's nice the game is being released after so long.

Actually if you watch the video all the way through to the end you get to see some game play footage, it's not much but it's still there.

What's funny is after watching it, I'd probably play it. :3

It's nice to see the game again. With that said I don't see myself picking this up unless it's cheep.
