Here it comes. That curiously deep-voiced Detective Pikachu to save the day. A new trailer is out for the upcoming 3DS family title. An expanded look at the game is available with a month to go until release. Get ready to partner up with your unique Pikachu by your side. Be prepared to hunt for clues, solve puzzles, interact with your favorite Pokémon and uncover the secrets of the rampaging Pokémon and Tim’s missing father.
There’s a question on a lot of Nintendo fans’ minds. Will Detective Pikachu get a Switch port? A lot of fans, casual and hardcore, would clamor for this quirky title to play on the run. Only time will tell and we can only hope that an announcement is tied in to a future trailer release or in a Nintendo Direct. Personally, I just want a “Hey You, Pikachu” remaster to play in public.
Detective Pikachu releases for the 3DS family of systems on March 23, 2018 with a suggested MSRP of $39.99. Starting on March 8 on the Nintendo eShop and March 23 at selected retailers there is a pre-purchase bonus of a Detective Pikachu home menu theme. This offer should extend in to release with an expected end date of April 22, 2018.
For all of you amiibo collectors there is also a new larger Detective Pikachu figure available for an MSRP of $29.99.
