Detective Pikachu is on the way<\/h2>\n

In Detective Pikachu<\/em>\u2122, a new game coming on March 23rd for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, you must team up with the self-proclaimed \u201cgreat detective\u201d Pikachu to solve a puzzling case involving oddly behaving Pok\u00e9mon, discover a possible connection to the mysterious Mewtwo and encounter many characters in Ryme City.<\/p>\n


Trouble in Ryme City!:<\/strong> Ryme City is a place where people and Pok\u00e9mon live together. But recently, many friendly Pok\u00e9mon are behaving oddly for no apparent reason. While Pikachu and his friend Tim search for Tim\u2019s father, Harry, they unwittingly stumble into the mysterious case of the problematic Pok\u00e9mon. Can they solve the mystery and also find Tim\u2019s father? Cue the dramatic music\u2026<\/p>\n


The Mysterious Mewtwo:<\/strong> While many different Pok\u00e9mon appear in Detective Pikachu<\/em>, the one who seems to hold the biggest connection to the overall mystery is Mewtwo. How is Mewtwo connected to everything? And why does Mewtwo seem to know Pikachu?<\/p>\n


A Colorful Cast of Characters:<\/strong> Many charming characters roam the streets of Ryme City. These include Pablo Millan, owner of Pikachu\u2019s favorite caf\u00e9; Frank Holliday, an inspector at the Ryme City Police Department; and Meiko Okamoto, a camera operator for the local TV studio. Meeting and interrogating all of these characters throughout the game is part of the fun.<\/p>\n

Along the way, experience over 150 fun-filled animated cutscenes starring this unique, wise-cracking Pikachu and a charming cast of curious characters who may help you on your investigation.<\/p>\n

You can also tap the new, extra-large Detective Pikachu amiibo<\/a>\u2122 figure to access all cutscenes up until the current chapter played. But that\u2019s not all! Fans can now play Detective Pikachu<\/em> on a New Nintendo 2DS XL system that features Pikachu\u2019s iconic face, now available<\/a> in stores at a suggested retail price of $159.99.<\/p>\n

The New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition<\/a> system is just as electric as the Pok\u00e9mon itself, with an eye-catching yellow design featuring a stylized close-up of Pikachu\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

As with all Nintendo 2DS systems, the New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition system plays Nintendo 3DS games in 2D. (Note: The Detective Pikachu<\/em> game, the Detective Pikachu<\/em> amiibo\u2122 figure, and the New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu Edition system are sold separately.)<\/p>\n
