Fans of Pokémon and the Super Smash franchise should be excited about Pokkén Tournament.
As you might have heard, Nintendo’s next major Wii U release, Pokkén Tournament is a new arena-based fighting game where players control Pokémon and battle others. If you’re unaware of the title, I suppose the game could be compared to a Super Smash Bros. game in a 3D arena.
For the Wii U release (in Japan) on March 18, there will also be a special edition of a controller made by Hori, the same company that made all the Battle Pads for the Wii U. At the moment, there isn’t a name for the device though it will cost 3,480 Yen- almost £20. It’s not yet confirmed whether US and European players will be able to get themselves one of these gamepads in March or if we’ll have to wait until the other release dates in Q2 2016.
Don’t worry, Pokkén tournament can still be played via the Gamepad, Classic Controller Pro or the Pro Controller.
To excite fans, a new trailer has been released alongside the game’s official box art which shows the already announced Amiibo support. What Pokémon would you like to have as an Amiibo? Please let there be a Porygon Amiibo and Magikarp and Kyogre and oh my gosh shiny pokemon amiibo too please I want them all ahhhh!!
