My Nintendo will be stocking a Pikachu Returns coffee cozy soon
06.10.2023 - 20:49 / destructoid.com / My Nintendo / Nintendo / Will
These days, if you take a short nap, you might miss a video game launch. I felt that way about Detective Pikachu Returns this week, and I’m one of the few who actually played the original (that’s just how 2023 is going! It’s an onslaught, folks). But even if you don’t partake in the recently-released digital follow-up, you can still order a Pokemon-branded coffee cup cozy soon.
My Nintendo just posted a hype blog for Detective Pikachu Returns, which includes details for Switch Online icons (which include a few general-purpose Pokemon avatars) and printable stationary/wallpapers, as well as a new My Nintendo physical reward: the aforementioned coffee cozy. It’s yellow, it’s cute, and it’ll fit around a cup. You also get the satisfaction of knowing that it’s not random big box store Pikachu merch, because this rat even has a hat; and there’s magnifying glass/lightbulb imagery to let you know that the cozy is from Detective Pikachu.
Here are all the details we have from Nintendo:
“Everyone knows that Detective Pikachu loves coffee—now he can keep yours warm (or cold!) with this adorable Detective Pikachu Returns Cup Cozy. This physical reward is coming. Stay Tuned!”
As far as the My Nintendo storefront is concerned, “stay tuned” could mean anywhere from 1-7 days for the actual listing to pop up. While a Platinum Point price hasn’t popped up yet, the lowest-cost comparable item in the store currently is 400p, so expect it to be in the 400-1000 range when it arrives.
If you need more platinum, we got you covered!

Experiencing the Animal Crossing X Seattle Aquarium partnership
Nintendo and the city of Seattle, Washington, have a surprisingly interesting history together. The most notable example of this is when former president Hiroshi Yamauchi purchased a majority stake in the Seattle Mariners when the team struggled in the 1990s. It was an odd moment in sports and gaming history that remains a fun fact.

Mario Wonder’s physical My Nintendo reward is a double keychain
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is finally here, and you can celebrate in physical merch form with this new My Nintendo reward. Nintendo now has a listing for the “Super Mario Bros. Wonder Double Keychain,” which features Mario in his normal and elephant forms (hence the “double”). It’s a little strange having Mario and his presumed doppelganger on there instead of another character, but what are you gonna do: he sells merch!

Detective Pikachu Returns Gets Launch Trailer
While it may not have been on everyone’s “wish list” for 2023, Detective Pikachu Returns has arrived for Nintendo Switch. The game is a sequel to the hit Nintendo 3DS title that inspired the equally popular adaptation that starred Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu. The game puts players in a unique version of the Pokemon world where a young man named Tim Goodman can understand a particular Pikachu that can solve mysteries and drinks a heck of a lot of coffee. The unusual game was much different from the mainline series, and that’s likely what drew people to it, and now, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are hoping it draws people in again.

Detective Pikachu Returns continues 2023’s onslaught of Pokemon
Ready for another Pokemon release? It feels like we just got one, right?! Alongside the constant updates for Pokemon Go, Pokemon Unite, Pokemon Masters EX, and the recent Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Teal Mask DLC, we’re also getting another entry in the Detective Pikachu Returns series on the Switch eShop this week (October 6 to be exact). Given that the first one ended on a cliffhanger, I’m glad the time has finally come for the sequel to potentially shine.
