This thread is meant to discuss the arcade and Wii U game Pokken Tournament, coming to the main stage of EVO 2016!

Pokken is a 3D fighting game developed by Bandai Namco and has free-roaming gameplay similar to Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. The game currently has 16 playable fighters revealed and 10 pairs of assist Pokemon that can be used during battle. Pokken will release on the Wii U on March 18th, 2016 worldwide.

Now I wished I had a WiiU. :/ Love Pokemon and I always wanted a flashy and action-oriented way of fighting in the series. I loved the Pokemon stadium titles. God, I'm so old! XD

And how does that game look so good? Better than some PS4/Xbone fighters...

I don't have a Wii U either, and this game is almost like a dream come true.

The game looks good aesthetically, but graphically PS4/XBO games are still superior. It's easier to make cartoonish graphics look good than making realistic graphics look good.

It's probably the game most pokemon fans wanted. Let's see how balanced the game will be.
Gengar was kind of OP supposedly, but they just nerfed him in the latest version of the arcade game apparently so the balance might be pretty good. :)

And yeah, the game looks great aesthetically. Have guys seen the quality of the fur on the Espeon and Umbeon assists?

Like holy crap, it looks so good! The environments are also pretty nice-looking.

This channel has some good Pokken matches if anyone is looking for some good gameplay. There's also the matches from the invitational a few months ago.

Does anyone know who they want to main yet btw? Provided that Greninja isn't playable, I'm maining Sceptile for sure. The moment I saw that thing do an Izuna Drop I was hooked. Lucario and Charizard are looking like secondaries, though there are a lot of others I want to try like Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, Suicune, etc.

Then take a look at Street Fighter 5 on PS4. D: Looks really rough and janky. It can't even get shadowing on characters right without very crude pixelation. No, Pokken looks so far a lot cleaner and much more detailed.
