Pokkén Tournament Announced

by

Although many fans wanted to see a Wii U title announced in the recent stream, a Tekken crossover title was shown and is confirmed to be arcade-only when it launches in 2015. Machamp and Lucario were seen fighting together and the Pokémon Game Show clip with Lucario and Blaziken was also seen before the reveal.

Any thoughts?

    • I still don’t see how its a “revolutionary” game or anything, unless it being an arcade game counts as that…
      I honestly didn’t mind seeing that it was revealed (i kinda expected it, even though i hoped it might be something else), but seeing it was an arcade game was kind of disappointing.

      • I did notice that lucario and machamp are the first two pokemon in the furious fists trailer. Thats neat. Kinda like how mewtwo was the theme of a TCG expansion then got a mega a few months after

      • Not being rude to the Jungle. Yet, I believe it’s the PokeJungle’s stretched words. I knew it wasn’t going to be anything huge because of OR/AS. It wouldn’t be good marketing. I just hope the game releases on Wii U sooner or later.

        Plus, it’s kind of revolutionary because Pokemon has not had a straight fighting game. (If you don’t include Type Wild.)

          • I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about how PokeJungle said the games could change the series forever. Making it seem like it was going to be something grand. When it was simply a fighting game. Which is kind of new because Pokemon has never had it’s own fighting franchise.

  3. Really? That’s it? This is embarrassing for them.

    This isn’t an interview or video that just randomly happened – this is something they knew about months in advance, deliberately planned, and went through the effort of creating a teaser/trailer video for. And then they have the balls to announced that they were going to announce something “earth-shattering” in a few weeks, all for… This?

    Lucario’s model is either the same as Brawl’s or the one from Smash 4, and Machamp’s looks like a barely polished 3DS model. They both appear slightly higher quality because of the excessive filters, but otherwise these models were copy/pasted, barely tweaked, and then shoehorned overtop of human-based bipedal wireframes. That’s why Machamp’s second set of arms barely does anything – they weren’t programmed to because their just skinning an existing game that uses mostly human-shape characters.

    But that’s not my problem. Zelda is doing the same thing with Hyrule Warriors and it’s turning out beautifully. My problem is their presentation. They had all this time built all this hype just to show us two characters kind-of attacking each other on some very generic city/desert/field backgrounds? And because they’re both fighting types we get zero of what makes Pokemon interesting (variety, elemental abilities, colour) and instead get two dudebro-looking derps punchin’ and kickin’ and that’s it. They could have showed any number of characters other than just those two (we know Blaziken is in) and it would have been much better than this. Some artwork, a game screen or two, ANYTHING. This isn’t a teaser or a trailer and aside from the arcades-only info there’s really nothing revealed we didn’t already know just by looking at it. It’s just a boring tech demo and they already showed us that several months ago.

    Put some effort into your marketing guys, it’s sad and pretty annoying at this point. Or, if you can’t do that, stop using words like “earth-shattering” and similar – you clearly don’t know what it means. 😐

  5. My god people…Fighthing games always get released first on arcades in japan, its like a beta phase if you might call it like that, it’ll come to the US, since the trailer was in the US and EU pokemon channels so dont worry and stop being butthurt

  8. Wait so
    The DLC is real?
    Omg
    I had actually been hoping for a smash bros game but racing. So Link, and to a lesser extent, Isabella, will be sweet. Dry Bowser is sweet also.

  11. I don’t know how many people care about this currently. Yet, Capcom is trying to sue Koei Techmo. Capcom only had 152 Million Dollars in the bank as of 11 Months ago. It’s to the point where Capcom could even be bought out (I think Nintendo should buy out Megaman, Monster Hunter and Pheonix Wright.)

    They want to sue Koei for about $9.43 Million Dollars. They’re just suing Koei for some supposed “game parts” such as the controller vibrating when enemies are close. Honestly, I just think Capcom is doing this for money. The haven’t released many good titles lately and they aren’t doing as good as before. Also, if you wanted to know Koei makes about 9.73 Billion yen in sales. (Sorry for this not being Pokemon related!)

  12. Nintendo need to just buy the following and then they never need to worry about 3rd party again ever.

    Namco Bamdai, Capcom, and Sega.

    Not that they are all readily available to buy, but the point is with their ips, and Nintendo’s. Then they own the industry.

    • I don’t think they could buy out Sega and Bandai Namco. Mostly because (I believe) they’re private companies. Capcom could be bought out by any huge company (aka Nintendo.). I just want Nintendo to pick up some games. Not all of them! 😉

      • Haha I want the same level of domination from the new and SNES era back. Your probably too young to remember but they honestly were so bloodthirsty back then it drove Sega to literally go for Nintendo’s blood. 😛

        I want nintendo to have them all then watch Sony and Microsoft duke it out for second 😉

          • To be fair from working in GameStop here in Ireland. More people return ps4s for Xbox ones, than Xbox ones for ps4s. 😛

        • Troo! The SNES was released in 1990. I wasn’t even born yet (I was born in 1999.). My older bro told me about that! If that happened. The gaming wars will be fun! 😀

          • Hahah you baba 🙂 it was funny tho I suggest u watch the Sega megadrive add there literally like ” nintendo sucks ” “Nintendo is terrible ”

            The best ad campaign for me was this one

            “Sega does what Nintendont” that’s the most memorable one 🙂 haha

          • I’m one of the people who judge a book “little bit” by the cover. I think the game seems a bit dull. The graphics look a little bit plan and bland. Also, the gameplay seems like it’s going to get repetitive.

            Yet, Sega is not developing the game. They’re publishing it. I believe Big Red Button is making it!

          • That’s all good 🙂 hopefully it will be good tho because I’d enjoy a game like that on wiiU before some of the bigger titles come out 🙂

  19. September 23rd is the 125th Anniversary of Nintendo! Be sure to show your pride for the company that has dominated our lives!

  21. Hi. I work for Nintendo. I can confirm that Pokken Tournament will be available on Wii U next year. It will also be on PS4, 3Ds, 2DS, XBox 360, XBox One, Wii, Gameboy Advance, and PSVita. You can play online in various places across the Pokémon world, however only after you download an update that will take a few hours. When you beat the game you can get PAID DLC and unlock new Pokémon and Reggie Fils-Aime. Thank you for your time and I hope you buy our new game so we can continue world domin- I mean brain washi- I mean spreading the joy of Pokémon across the world for everyone to love.

  23. Today. Was a great day. I just finished the walking dead season two (Game, and cried a little- dat ending) AND Pokken Tournament was announced!

    I’m going to assume that Blaziken is going to be in it due to the picture from “Pokken Fighters”. Another interesting thing is that the only Pokemon shown have gotten megas (Blaziken and Lucario) with the exception of Machamp. Maybe, we can get a Mega Machamp in ORAS! It’s a real shame that this game is Arcade only (For now). It would be nice to play this on Wii U or 3DS. Both consoles which could totally handle it.
