New game sales were also up 7.3% year-over-year, thanks to Switch games and Call of Duty: WWII. Switch was also a major factor in a 33.7% increase in accessory sales.

Today’s Pokemon news continues, as Niantic has announced Pokemon GO Community Day. When active, a special Pokemon will be featured, which will appear frequently around the world for just a few hours. The Pokemon you catch will have an exclusive move. Additionally, other bonuses will be in effect.

Pikachu will be the first Pokemon featured when the inaugural event begins on January 20. You can find more information about Pokemon GO Community Day below.

Earlier today, Detective Pikachu was announced for the west. The news was accompanied by the reveal of an entirely new amiibo, which is bigger than other figures in Nintendo’s line.

We now have confirmation that the Detective Pikachu amiibo will cost $30. That makes sense given the size increase.

You can use the amiibo in-game to unlock “a combination of hilarious content that might also provide a hint.” You can still access this through normal means, “but tapping the amiibo will allow players to unlock content more quickly.”
