Detective Pikachu now roughly three times longer compared to original 2016 Japanese release
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This month’s launch of Detective Pikachu technically isn’t the first time that the game will be available. Initially, it had a release on the Japanese 3DS eShop back in 2016.
Now Nintendo is bringing out Detective Pikachu worldwide, including a physical version in all regions. Compared to the 2016 edition, significant content has been added in. Whereas the Japanese eShop version had three chapters, the final game contains nine. That means Detective Pikachu should be about three times longer than it originally was.
