Mascom International stocks Pokémon Legends: Arceus at KSh 8,500, brand new and sealed as a physical Nintendo Switch game cartridge. Developed by Game Freak and published worldwide by Nintendo, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is an action role-playing game released on 28 January 2022. You explore five large open areas of the Hisui region, catch Pokémon straight from the field, ride creatures across land, water and sky, and fill the first Pokédex. The sealed copy is ready at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can check the seal yourself.
Built for Pokémon fans, teenagers and adults who want a long solo adventure, Pokémon Legends: Arceus rewards steady play over weeks rather than one evening. Students at the University of Nairobi and Moi University tell us Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the game they reach for between lectures, because each research task gives a clear short goal. Commuters on the Thika Road matatu run use the Switch Lite to catch a few Pokémon on the way to Upper Hill. The whole campaign runs offline from the card, so a KPLC blackout in Embakasi or Kahawa does not cut a session short.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that resell opened cartridges as new, Mascom International keeps this title factory sealed and backs the card with a 6-month warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya report that sealed Pokémon games hold their value well, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus has sold 14.83 million copies worldwide by March 2023, so demand for second-hand copies stays steady. It is a strong gift for a teenager who grew up watching the cartoon. Pay with M-Pesa at our Kimathi Street counter, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the parcel reaches you.
Common Questions About the Pokémon Legends: Arceus
How much does Pokémon Legends: Arceus cost in Kenya?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus costs KSh 8,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. The price buys the physical Nintendo Switch cartridge in its retail case and a 6-month warranty against a card that fails to read. You pay cash or M-Pesa only after the sealed copy reaches you. It sits KSh 600 above Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury at KSh 7,900, and KSh 1,000 above Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
What kind of game is Pokémon Legends: Arceus?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a single-player action role-playing game set in Hisui, an early version of the Sinnoh region. Instead of meeting most Pokémon in random battles, you sneak up and throw Poké Balls at them in the open world. You complete research tasks to build the first Pokédex, face larger Alpha Pokémon and calm frenzied Noble Pokémon in story battles. Camps in each of the five areas let you travel quickly between zones. Later, rideable Pokémon carry you across water, up cliffs and through the sky, so the map opens up as you progress.
Can you play Pokémon Legends: Arceus with friends?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus has no multiplayer battles; the adventure itself is played alone. You can still trade Pokémon online with friends, which helps complete the Pokédex and swap creatures you miss. Online trading needs an internet connection and a Nintendo Switch Online membership. A Safaricom or Airtel 4G bundle handles the small amount of data a trade uses, so a weekly bundle is enough for regular swaps. If your household wants to play together on one screen, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is the better pick on our Switch shelf.
Will Pokémon Legends: Arceus run on Switch Lite, Switch OLED and Switch 2?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus plays on the original Nintendo Switch, the Switch OLED and the Switch Lite. On the Lite you play in handheld mode, which suits a solo game like this one. Nintendo Switch 2 reads original Switch game cards through backward compatibility, and Nintendo states that most Switch titles run on it. Send Mascom International a WhatsApp message if you want the latest compatibility details before buying for a Switch 2.
Is Pokémon Legends: Arceus practical to play in Kenya?
Yes, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is practical in Kenya because the entire story runs offline from the cartridge. A charged Switch keeps you exploring Hisui during KPLC power cuts, and the handheld mode fits long bus trips to Kisumu or Mombasa. Mobile data matters only for game updates and online trades, and both use small downloads on a Safaricom or Airtel line. Kenyan heat and dust do not affect a sealed game card stored in its case, and the cartridge has no moving parts to wear out on rough roads.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: which is better for you?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus costs KSh 8,500 at Mascom International, while The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild costs KSh 7,500. Both are single-player open-world adventures with plenty of exploration. Arceus centres on catching, researching and collecting creatures, with a lighter difficulty. Breath of the Wild focuses on combat, climbing and puzzle shrines, and it asks more of the player in fights. Choose Arceus for Pokémon fans and collectors; choose Zelda for players who want tougher action and free experimentation.
Who should buy Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and who should skip it?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is right for Pokémon fans, collectors and anyone who enjoys a long solo game with clear goals. Teenagers who are comfortable reading on-screen text will get the most from the story. Skip it if you want a party game for a full living room, where Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 at KSh 7,500 suits groups better. Children who cannot yet read may prefer Kirby and the Forgotten Land at KSh 7,500, which leans less on text.
Is Pokémon Legends: Arceus worth KSh 8,500 in Kenya?
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is worth KSh 8,500 for anyone who wants weeks of play from one purchase. The research tasks give you a reason to return to each area, and completing the Pokédex keeps collectors busy long after the story ends. A sealed physical copy also keeps resale value, so you can sell it on later and recover part of the cost. Mascom International sells it factory sealed, with pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya and M-Pesa accepted at the door.
Technical Specifications
Gameplay and Core Function
- Genre: action role-playing game — you explore, catch Pokémon and take on battles, with the story moving forward through research missions.
- Setting: the Hisui region, an earlier version of Sinnoh, based on Hokkaido during early Japanese colonisation in the series lore.
- Five large open areas — each has its own camp for fast travel, so you skip long walks back to base.
- Catching in the field — throw Poké Balls at wild Pokémon directly, often without battling, which speeds up collecting for new players.
- Rideable Pokémon — later in the game you ride creatures to move faster, swim across water, climb cliffs and fly.
- Alpha and Noble Pokémon — larger, tougher Alphas roam the wild, and story battles have you calm frenzied Noble Pokémon.
- Pokédex research tasks — you fill each entry by catching, battling and observing, which gives clear short-term goals in every session.
Console Compatibility
- Nintendo Switch original model — plays docked on a television, in tabletop mode, or handheld on the go.
- Nintendo Switch OLED — runs the same cartridge, with a 7-inch OLED screen that shows Hisui's landscapes in richer colour away from the TV.
- Nintendo Switch Lite — plays in handheld mode, which suits a single-player journey on the bus or in a hostel room.
- Nintendo Switch 2 — accepts original Switch game cards through backward compatibility; Nintendo states most Switch titles run on it.
- Single-player only — no split-screen or multiplayer battles, so one controller or a Switch Lite is all you need.
- Online trading — swap Pokémon with friends over the internet, which needs a Nintendo Switch Online membership and a data connection.
Cartridge Build and Storage
- Nintendo Switch game card — a compact flash cartridge that slots into the top of the console, with no disc to scratch.
- Runs from the card — no full install needed, so a 32GB Switch keeps space for other games and screenshots.
- Save data stays on the console — lending the card to a friend leaves your Pokédex progress safely on your own Switch.
- Updates install to console memory — download the latest patch once over Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot after first inserting the card.
- Region-free format — Switch cartridges play on consoles from Kenya, Dubai, the UK or the US with no region lock.
- Care tip — keep the card in its case, out of a hot car and away from dust during the dry season.
- Pocket-sized cartridge — light enough to carry in a wallet-style card holder, so you can bring it to a friend's house for trades.
Inclusions and Language
- Physical Nintendo Switch game cartridge of the full title, factory sealed in its official retail case with printed cover art.
- Developed by Game Freak, published by The Pokémon Company in Japan and by Nintendo everywhere else.
- Released worldwide on 28 January 2022, with 14.83 million copies sold by 31 March 2023, according to Nintendo-reported figures.

- Payment by M-Pesa or cash at our Kimathi Street counter, or pay-on-arrival delivery once the sealed case reaches you.
- Sealed retail case suits gifting and protects resale value if you decide to sell the game on after finishing it.
- Online trades need a separate Nintendo Switch Online membership, paid through Nintendo; the story itself needs nothing extra.
