The recently announced Great Detective Pikachu ~The New Duo~ was released in Japan on the Nintendo 3DS eShop today. According to master trainer Serebii, the game seemed to be about 5 hours long. It also left room for more adventures, possibly being released in an episodic fashion similar to other mobile narrative-based games seen on iOS and Android.
Gameplay revolves around looking for clues through talking with NPCs in the game and is fairly linear. You can catch a video of the game in action from TiLMENDOMiNATiON on YouTube. Unfortunately, this will be a title I pass on in order to save for a Pokémon Green 2DS bundle later this month.

What do you think? Does this new spin on Pokémon look like something that you’d enjoy? If it were aimed at a broader audience like Professor Layton or Phoenix Wright, I could definitely see it being an enjoyable spin-off title.

I wouldn’t mind a Pokémon game that was as in depth as a Pheonix Wright game. I was expecting this game to be very long since it was what, about $10 on the eShop?
Oh god I wanna lay this so bad………..I wish it wasn’t $10 for something that’s suppose to b on the shorter side, but either way if it comes to NA eshop it’s definitely something I’ll buy and play!
There’s a rumor the Detective Pikachu game is going to be released in DLC episodes. Explains why it looks better than most 3DS games graphics wise and is only $10. Wouldn’t think they would’ve worked on it this long just for five hours of gameplay. I wouldn’t mind seeing those kinds of graphics in other pokemon games (cough main series cough)
Now we wait for the English version with Danny Devito.

The game looks like Pixar x Pokemon. I hope it actually does amazingly. Now, could we get a Pokemon Conquest 2. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I forget that game came out. Was any good?
Hell yea. It’s my favorite spin-off. I recommend getting the game. It’s a good mix of Fire Emblem and Pokemon, on a side note, I would love Intelligent Systems.
so there another person in another Conquest game beside me.
i hope in one of these Pikachu gets eaten by an Arbok
The game’s architecture looks like baker street where Sherlock Holmes museum have found.
