Month: May 2016

Late last month, word started spreading about an upcoming Pokkén Tournament controller sporting a Pikachu theme, but we’re only just learning that you won’t have to pay for one in Yen.

In form it’s exactly the same as a standard Pokkén pad, though the yellow shell and black highlights do plenty to set it apart from the crowd. It also features the silhouette of Pikachu himself. Do bear in mind that Pokkén controllers only work with Pokkén Tournament on the Wii U; they can’t even influence the main menu like a Pro Controller or Wiimote can.

If you’re itching to get your hands on this Pika powered pad you can head over to GameStop to get your fix. It’s exclusive to the retailer, so don’t expect to see it anywhere else. At this time, the controller is available for pre-order only and lists a late July release date. It currently shares its $29.99 price tag with the standard Hori Pokkén Tournament Pad.

Back in December we covered the news that UDON would be releasing something special for Free Comic Book Day: a one-shot collection of Street Fighter V tales. Now Free Comic Book Day is right around the corner–it’s tomorrow–and with it comes your chance to pick up a piece of Street Fighter history without having to break the bank.

The 32 page, full color volume is the work of writers Ken Siu-Chong and Matt Moylan, whose words are brought to life with art by Edwin Huang, Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz, and Brendon Tapper. It will feature new and returning characters like Charlie Nash, Karin Kanzuki, Rashid, and Laura in three unique stories that you’ll only find in STREET FIGHTER V #1 FCBD 2016 EDITION. The name just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

And if you still need convincing, why don’t you check out this preview of what you can expect to find when you open your newest loot on Saturday morning.

As we noted back in December, this is a silver contribution, which means that it’s not guaranteed to be on offer at all participating stores.
