Last updated
Ever wondered if you could play Detective Pikachu on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! It’s a question on the minds of many fans of the iconic yellow detective.
Let’s dive into whether Detective Pikachu has made its way onto Nintendo’s latest and beloved console, the Nintendo Switch.
Short Answer: Not Yet
As of now, Detective Pikachu isn’t available on the Nintendo Switch. The game originally launched on the Nintendo 3DS in 2018, bringing players into a unique Pokémon world filled with mystery and intrigue.
This doesn’t mean all hope is lost for Detective Pikachu fans. Nintendo has a track record of bringing popular titles from older consoles to the Switch, so there’s always a chance Detective Pikachu could join the Switch lineup in the future.
