Nintendo has just announced that Pokkén Tournament, the Pokémon fighter developed in collaboration with Bandai Namco, will be heading to Wii U next year.
Pokkén Tournament originally landed in Japanese arcades on July 16, allowing players to face off with a limited cast consisting of Lucario, Machamp, Suicune, Gardevoir, Pikachu, Gengar, Weavile, and Charizard. A recent update also added Blaziken to the playable roster. Battles play out in a mixture of 3D arena and traditional 2D styles, accentuated with assists from Emolga, Fennekin, Snivy, Frogadier, and more.
