Pokkén Tournament announced for Wii U

August 22, 2015

The Pokémon Company has announced today that Pokkén Tournament will be coming to the Wii U worldwide in Easter 2016.

Pokkén Tournament was originally released in Japanese arcades earlier this year and was developed by Bandai Namco. The game plays similar to Tekken and features playable Pokémon including Pikachu, Lucario, Gengar and Machamp. The trailer features Pikachu Libre as a new playable character who was not in the arcade release, though it is unclear if this is simply an alternative costume for normal Pikachu.
