Just popped up. Watching now. Fucking nowhere.

Edit: It's by Creatures!

 

[Hard]

wew lad

looks good

 

[Berordn]

And here I thought they were going to try and make the face look less creepy.

 

[Syntsui]

What an awful use of CGI, this is frightening.

 

[CitrusStorm]

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out who that voice actor playing Pikachu is. Initial thought was Hiroaki Hirata but now I'm second-guessing myself.

 

[kadotsu]

But will they get Cumberbatch for the english version?

 

[jurec84]

What the heck ...?

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

what the hell is that? what kind of voice is that? Detective pikachu's voice is horrible, LOL.

do we have more information about the game? style? I don't get it

 

[Snarfington]

I cracked up at the bit with Detective Pikachu talking all gritty detective to another Pikachu who just reacts as usual.

Could be good, but does look very strange.
EDIT: obligatory

 

[MicH]

I thought for sure this idea had been abandoned. A talking Pikachu... How odd. And those facial expressions are still creepy

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Holy shit, the voice. Doesn't look bad hm.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I'm intrigued!

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

A Pokemon Detective game sounds inticing, but that uncanny valley is a turn off.

 

[Village]

This is suuper interesting. Like the disney humans and the talking pikachu, this in combination with the entire premise of pokken. I'm glad they are stepping farther outside the box

 

[papertoonz]

omg that voice and that face

what even is this

 

[Maebe]

That is quite uncanny

 

[Darrenf]

His voice lol. Don't like how Pikachu looks.

 

[Hyu]

This is creepy..

 

[Thoraxes]

Holy shit the date.

Finally this came to fruition in some form.

 

[Balmung421]

His voice omg omg

 

[kuroneko0509]

:O :O i thought it's canned lol

 

[……forgetit]

This looks adorably hilarious.

 

[Nottle]

"Detective Pikachu OT | The Great Mouse Detective"

That has to be the title of the OT right?

 

[SilverLunar]

such a manly voice!

 

[pizzacat]

Why does that pikachu talk but not the other :/

 

[MrDaravon]

Wait, this is out next week? Am I looking at that date right?

 

[Griss]

What on earth is this? Seems like an April Fool's made into a game. After the superbowl ad, and now this, this CGI pokemon in the 'real world' trend needs to end.

And man, watching Pikachu talk is kinda... unsettling.

Got to hand it to them, though... it's original and creative as hell. So there's that.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

"Detective Pikachu OT | The Great Mouse Detective"

That has to be the title of the OT right?

Yes it does.

 

[PtM]

Waluigi robbed of his perfect role.

 

[Mpl90]

I seriously thought this didn't exist anymore.

Also, is it digital only, looking at the price / release date?

 

[Cowie]

The Great (Electric) Mouse Detective

 

[Thoraxes]

Wait, this is out next week? Am I looking at that date right?

That you are.

It's a download-only title it seems, with promotional pricing for the initial launch month.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Wait, this is out next week? Am I looking at that date right?

yes.. and seems you can preload it starting tomorrow, 300 yen discount for the 1st month

 

[pootle]

I've heard about this type of thing. This is that shipping isn't it.

 

[Zetta]

I'll only play this if Pikachu gets a mustache. If he does consider this a day one for me.

 

[teeny]

This was bizarre to watch. I think I'm in based on that alone

I need a new mainline game in my blood though, starting to get Pokemon Pangs.

 

[Misuta]

Wow, Pikachu got so manly.

Spoiler

Now I wish it was Norio Wakamoto.

 

[Fireblend]

This. Is. INCREDIBLE.

Day 1.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

"Detective Pikachu OT | The Great Mouse Detective"

That has to be the title of the OT right?

I will lose all faith in Neogaf if it isn't.

 

[Muskieratboi]

That voice...

OH.
MY.
ARCEUS.

Day One!

 

[Gormless Noodle]

What's with these out of nowhere announcements? Is the new Nintendo president, allergic to Nintendo directs or something? Their communication seems extraordinarily minimal since Iwata passed away, or is that just me?

 

[Chase17]

Thought this was dead.

 

[Sandfox]

This looks really interesting and I like how they made Pikachu hardboiled.

What's with these out of nowhere announcements? Is the new Nintendo president, allergic to Nintendo directs or something? Their communication seems extraordinarily minimal since Iwata passed away, or is that just me?

What Nintendo has been doing recently in favor of directs isn't new.

 

[Dambrosi]

That bit when the girl kisses Pikachu...

I can't be the only one who thought of that.

Otherwise, it looks cool enough. We need more detective games.

Wow, Pikachu got so manly. Now I wish it was Norio Wakamoto.

He's gonna be Dictator in SFV and you're gonna like it!

 

[PK Gaming]

"Detective Pikachu OT | The Great Mouse Detective"

That has to be the title of the OT right?

Absolutely

 

[NuttSack]

This is weird but I like it.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

eShop only?

 

[thetrin]

what the hell is that? what kind of voice is that? Detective pikachu's voice is horrible, LOL.

do we have more information about the game? style? I don't get it

What?! His voice is amazing!

 

[Muskieratboi]

"PICK ME UP!"

Anyone think TPCI can afford Benedict Cumberbatch for the dub?

 

[Oddish1]

It was put up on a pokemon youtube channel so it looks like that this announcement was by the TPC and not Nintendo.
