The Detective Pikachu will  finally be coming tot he West on March 23rd with a complete story and a Detective Pikachu amiibo will be released.

YESH! I still would rather he was voiced by Danny Devito (cause of how Pikachu sounds in the video), but I'm still interested in getting this title. ^^V

Oh I thought for sure this was going to be Japan only, but for sure getting this because it's too tantalizing of an idea to pass on.

I knew this had to be coming eventually, but the longer it took the more I lost faith that it was happening. I'm really glad to see it's coming! I'm definitely gonna be picking this one up, especially with the lackluster Switch lineup for the next few months.

Here’s a new trailer and a demo will be available in early March.

This is quite the off the wall spinoff and I hope it does while so The Pokemon Company green lights more spinoffs for the Switch over mobile.

Detective Pikachu will be 3 times longer then the original Japanese version.



Sounds like they also added a part 3 if part 2 is also 2 chapters.

I can't wait to get it. I think this game releases 2 days before my birthday so I'm a happy camper.

Eurgh, I really want this dumb game, but I need to get through all my others and spend money for school, blech
