Pokkén Tournament Launches Exclusively for Wii U on March 18

At first I thought this was going to be some sort of Pokemon Stadium like game. I loved that game as a kid. Wonder how this will turn out.

 

Why do they say exclusively on Wii U? Isn't it available on arcades still or did those get shut down recently?

 

It means in terms of the consoles, it obviously won't be on the xbone or ps4, or PC for that matter

 

Kinda defeats the point of calling something "exclusive". That's like saying Shenmue 3 is exclusively for PS4, even though I backed it to play on PC. They better keep their word on that.

Anyways sorry to derail.

 

I understand what you're saying, but most people don't buy themselves arcade units, and view arcade games (in situations like this) as sampling the home version out in the wild. Realistically, the only way that most people are going to own this game is exclusively on the Wii U.

 

If the price in europe is gonna be 40€ at launch, I might buy it. After I evaluate if it deserve the money.
And how much do we want to bet that there's gonna be some features only avaiable if you buy some new Pokèmon amiibos?

 

What?! I can't play a pokemon game on my Xbone?
Outrageous, i'm never buying another pokemon game.

 

This i will buy at launch. And they say only on the wiiu to let people know it wont be on the wii or 3ds.
Samething halo 5 did on the xbox one.

 

Twilight Princess HD and Pokkén Tournament during the same month? Whoever's in charge of the release dates isn't doing a very good job

 

Weavile for life! Can't wait for this game!

 

And Hyrule Warriors Legends...

 

has there ever been an official pokemon game on any console other than arcade or a nintendo console?how is it outrageous if it is tradition.

 

I want the Pokken controller!!!

 

My wallet is ready

 

Two copies for me. I'll enjoy playing in LAN with a friend on two TVs side by side.

 

Is that a Wii U game? No. TPHD and PT are.

What's so interesting about it?

I asked via email to Hori Europe what the price would be (ended up being £19.99 on Amazon UK) and that it should cost less because it doesn't even have a single analogue stick which would be useful considering the game's in 2.5D and 3D. The only benefit it has over the others is that it's wired but that's about it. He didn't quite told me what made the controller a must other than "it's the proper way to play Pokkén Tournament".

The PR guy also linked me to the image below but again, that's for an arcade machine not a gaming console and one should not really merge the two fanbases together because they like to play with different controllers.

 

It just looks dope! Looks like a true Ninty piece of shiny wonder! I NEEDZ it.... esp for £20!
