"Detective Pikachu Returns with Fun Jokes, Shiny Pokemon, and Nintendo Switch Launch Trailer"
Detective Pikachu Returns, the sequel to the 2016 3DS game, is now available on the Nintendo Switch. While the 2019 live-action Detective Pikachu movie may have already concluded the story, the game takes its own direction. A cute scene in the game references the movie and affirms that the game is doing its "own thing." The meta reference involves the protagonist's sister lamenting their absence from the movie, highlighting the liberties taken with the source material. The game also introduces changes to the protagonist's mother, who was previously deceased in the movie. Overall, Detective Pikachu Returns offers a fun and distinct experience, emphasizing that the titular character is not a cop but a private investigator vigilante.
