Does Detective Pikachu talk in the game or was that strictly an invention of the movie along with him being related to the player character?

The English-language Pikachu in the first game is voiced by the same dude who voiced the dubbed protagonist in Yakuza 7/Like A Dragon. :eng101:

Also the long-haired kid in 13 Sentinels, one of the protagonists.

Wow going through my parent's house and I discovered they kept all my old games. The consoles aren't here, or they're somewhere else except for the SNES, but I found GC games including Pikmin 2, Animal Crossing, Wind Waker and the Zelda GC disc with multiple games, and Path of Radiance and among the Wii games was Radiant Dawn. Also Crazy Taxi and Simpson's Road Rage. I had a good GC collection.

Those two final FE games I don't think will ever be remade so I may have find a used Wii at some point, but I guess that's easy to get? Otherwise, are AC Adapters easy to find because I bought my GC in the US (assuming I find it) but now live in France.

In my heart Detective Pikachu will always be Danny Devito, and if I don't play the games or watch the movie I don't have to be disappointed.

He should be in more game VO roles in general. Even if they aren't Pikachu games.

Cops are allowed if they're really, really bad at their job like Harrier and Detective Gumshoe.

Yeah that’s not worth anything… but if you want to send it to me I’ll pay postage and I’ll send you a Wii power cable :)

Kidding aside I’d be careful with even putting the disc into anything. I’d play it on a hacked GameCube / wii / WiiU instead and avoid any chance of scratching the discs.

TBF while Radiant Dawn is worth a pretty penny, Path of Radiance is the one that really hurts the wallet nowadays. Believe me, I've checked. I bought Dawn around release unaware that it was a sequel to Path, and until I realized Path was one of the priciest games on the Cube I spent a while looking to pick it up. Now I'll just emulate it on my Deck if I get the urge to play the Tellius games someday.

But I have Path CIB that I bought new for like $50 or 55 which was expensive at the time.
My plan for if I ever actually get Covid (whether I have symptoms or not) is to take 2 weeks off work and blitz through Radiant Dawn and a few other games.

The cops who took me to the psych ward saw Stardew Valley, and it turns out all 3 of us like it. He liked the fishing map. Not sure on the other. But it was kind of a fun thing before I get disconnected before the outside world.


Stardew really does have a huge amount of fans.

Am I missing something? Cause I'm pretty sure the core group were portrayed as being pretty drat good at their job, and also being a gaggle of silly bastards.

It's everyone else around them who were bad/corrupt. Is that what you meant?

It’s a mixed bag, Hitchcock and scully were only good at their job if food was involved.

Jake got in his own way a lot, and let Doug Judy go a lot lol

Rosa was good at being a cop generally, as was amy

This is probably far too much analysis for a show like that lol

It was a sitcom; they'd always let dumb personal bullshit get in the way of doing their jobs, but resolve it and solve the case by the end of the episode. It's not exactly aspirational that even the comically stern and stoic professional captain is a moody drama queen, who punishes his subordinates when his husband knows a math puzzle and he doesn't.

Harry is more of a mixed bag, because you can make him spend more time preaching about the glories of communism than he does copping, which is actually cool, but Kim is a cop to the bone and that's not a compliment.

Oh thanks. Yeah I looked up it and arguably they're $500 dollars together which is insane.

I'd rather play them lol.

Honestly, once we get our new flat, I think I'll move all that stuff to Europe with me. The biggest issue will be having to get a North American Wii assuming mine isn't around/doesn't work. Which I don't see why it wouldn't work. Controllers aren't region locked so that problem is solved.

That was only the case for the first season. After that the show significantly devolved, because it turned out to be much harder to write funny dialogue for smart characters than for for whacky morons.

Keep in mind later Wii's don't have Gamecube compatibility (dunno if you can mod them to regain it, but you wouldn't be able to use the GC controllers anyway), so you'll have to find one of the earlier iterations.

Guess who accidentally bought one of those for cheap from gamestop back in the day thinking "I'll be able to play Wii games AND gamecube games!"

Thankfully if you homebrew them, they still have all the original GC hardware in them, minus the ports, so you can still play GC games as long as you have a wii classic controller
