Below, we consider that it may be better at showing than telling. As a rule, Westerns are sincere. Sure, there are outright farces like Blazing Saddles. Plenty of classic Westerns like Rio Bravo have a warm, comedic side. Even dark epics like the Searchers have moments of levity. But even when they are funny, Westerns play their archetypes straight.

Once again, the wise-cracking Pokemon and his human partner Tim Goodman are tasked with solving cases in Ryme City, and this time, they'll be able to recruit several other Pokemon to help them out. Preorders are now live at major retailers ahead of its October 6 launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

Preorder Detective Pikachu Returns

$50

Compared to the original Detective Pikachu game, which was a Nintendo 3DS game, this sequel has a sharper graphical presentation thanks to it being built from the ground up for Switch.

If you're looking to save some cash, here's how you can take $20 off the combined price of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pikmin 4. And to see what else Nintendo has in store for the rest of the year and beyond, you can click through to grab all the highlight's from this month's Nintendo Direct presentation.
