Hey You, Pikachu! is a voice-interaction game developed by Ambrella and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64, using the pack-in Voice Recognition Unit microphone. Players befriend a Pikachu, speaking real spoken commands to guide it on daily activities — fishing, gathering ingredients, playing games, and exploring — as it responds to the player’s voice and mood. It centers on companionship rather than combat.
