Detective Pikachu for Nintendo 3DS will finally launch in the U.S. on March 23

Strange things are afoot in Ryme City, but Detective Pikachu is on the case. The spinoff of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon series will debut in the U.S. as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive on March 23. It arrives ahead of the movie adaptation, which is slated for 2019 and stars Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds.

It includes all of the content from Detective Pikachu: Birth of a New Duo, which first launched in Japan in 2016. It also builds on the iconic electric mouse-thing’s sleuthing adventures with new locations, characters, and more story. An easy mode will be available to guide players through the game, and Nintendo will also release an Amiibo toys-to-life figure that unlocks additional video clips and hints.
