Detective Pikachu arrives on March 24th with jumbo sized Detective Pikachu amiibo
Update: Nintendo Australia has confirmed we’ll get the game and the amiibo on March 24th. Can you remember the last time we had a Saturday release?

Original Story: Detective Pikachu is finally headed west with both episodes coming to Europe and America on March 23rd in the one package. Japan will get the second episode on this date as well.
There’s also a magnum sized Detective Pikachu amiibo coming as well, it’s twice the size of a normal Pikachu amiibo at 13.6cm tall. The amiibo unlocks special video hints in the game.
We’re hopeful the amiibo will come to Australia too, we’ll let you know when we hear from Nintendo Australia.
Better late than never…yep the 3DS keeps on kicking!
Just imagine how this would have sold on Switch.
Silly, silly Nintendo.
2 days, and the amiibo has already pre-sold out at EB Games. Nintendo did mention it was “limited” so maybe this time it actually is!
