Pokken Tournament

Braixen! Awesome! I mean not that I'm really planning to get the game, but it's actually one of my favorite Pokemon. Delphox would've made more sense...but still cool to see some form of that Pokemon.

Chandelure joins the battle.

I'm happy there is a 5th Gen Pokemon now even if there are to many fire Pokemon now.

New modes detailed and new support Pokemon.

Pokken Tournament releases March 18th!

Pretty soon, that's good. The way they talked about it before made it seem like it would be a late release in the first half. (like May/June)

EDIT: And here's the boxart:

I guess the listing was right after all and the only issue is that it's a bit close to TWPHD. Here is the current roster for those who need an update and I think there will be 4 more playable characters.

I think Greninja, Scizor, Escadrill and a wildcard will round out the roster.

Pokken Tournament will be played for the first time at EVO 2016!

It's good to hear that it's being used in a tournament setting, even if I'm personally not very interested in it. It's cool to see people competing in video games, it just feels right. Of course this was kind of expected anyway since it's basically Tekken but with Pokemon but you know. :p

Ah so it's going to be played at EVO 2016. It's a good thing to hear that the game will have a competitive future. It will be interesting to see how the competition evolves.

How is it doing competitively in Japan? It sounds like it is doing well.

I loved the new gameplay from the Direct! I'm so excited for this game. I don't usually like fighting games but adding Pokemon to it made me so much more interested and I can't wait, day one buy for me.

Pokken Tournament is out Friday, who plans to get it?

Personally I'm not into Tekken so I probably won't. However, it does look a bit more fun, the Pokemon seem to make it a little more interesting even if I'm not a huge Pokemon fan either. So in the future I may buy it but right now I'm not very interested.

I may buy it in the future, the game looks very exciting to play so far from a few people I watch who have gotten a review copy.

I will likely get the game soon since it looks pretty good and I need a new Wii U game to play.

To celebrate the game's launch, @Queen Glitter Fairy made us a new banner!

I'm not planning to get the game but this is the first real major Wii U release of the year so I figured it deserved a banner. Who bought the game today? (or is getting it soon)

I'll probably get it a little cheaper, I generally don't like paying 60 for fighting games.

I was wondering when the banner was going to get changed again. The banner looks great! Thanks Queen!

I plan on getting the game. Not around launch though, I'm more interested in getting Twilight Princess HD, plus there's Star Fox Zero next month.

You can try and price match this at other retailers besides GameStop. I might try and do this since I don't want to buy the game at full price.
