It's not your typical turn-based RPG!
Detective Pikachu for the Nintendo 3DS is now available from DataBlitz stores nationwide for P1,995! Game One PH/i.TECH Philippines has yet to post an update.
No information yet if the large Detective Pikachu amiibo will also be released locally. This amiibo will be almost twice as large as the original Super Smash Bros. series Pikachu amiibo. It will allow players to view all the Pika Prompts from chapters they have completed, including ones they missed finding earlier.
In addition, a film adaptation based on the game will be produced by Legendary Entertainment and released by Universal Pictures on May 10, 2019. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu with Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Ken Watanabe and Bill Nighy in live-action supporting roles.
Here's the official description from Nintendo:
Crack the case in this new detective adventure game by interacting with a unique, fully-voiced Pikachu!
