Glen-i Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Working alongside that giant Pikachu has got to be distracting. : peace: No dude, the Ambipom is far more off-putting. Look at the thing, it's staring straight into the soul of anyone who uses that computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 If you can handle the presenters of imagine-nation then here's a nice look at the game: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/vod/imagine/20150707.html Working alongside that giant Pikachu has got to be distracting. : peace: Namco's dev kit PCs still have Floppy Disc drives!?

RedShell Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Namco's dev kit PCs still have Floppy Disc drives!? How old are they!? That was the first thing I noticed too, well, after the giant Pikachu. Wonder if those things are still running Windows 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindFreak Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 News about a possible localisation to Europe! The Pokémon Company has registered a new trademark for its fighting title Pokkén Tournament in Europe. At this stage it's not clear if the trademark relates to the arcade version - which is already doing the rounds in Japan - or a hoped-for Wii U conversion. It's also worth noting that the trademark was submitted by The Pokémon Company itself, rather than Nintendo, which usually handles this kind of thing. This application also seems to be in addition to the ones made back in May last year. Of particular interest is an entry in the trademark covering NFC connectivity: Near field communication (NFC) technology-enabled devices, namely, key chain tags, key chains, key fobs, key tags, key rings and key holders, and figurines, to facilitate the transmission and recording and exchange of video game content. While this might suggest some kind of amiibo functionality, in Japan game makers have recently made use of NFC cards to store and exchange data between arcade cabinets. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/08/pokken_tournament_trademark_surfaces_in_europe_nfc_connectivity_mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Apparently this has just been announced for Wii U during the Pokemon World Championship event. Spring 2015 worldwide release date. Edited August 21, 2015 by Hero-of-Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) A Pokemon arcade game, which uses Wii U controls and operates with two screens getting a Wii U release? Well I for one am shocked Good to hear that it's coming pretty soon though! Luchachu is hilarious as well Edited August 21, 2015 by Dcubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Am I the only one thinking that Hawlucha got totally gipped here? "We need a Lucha Libre Pokemon to really round out our roster. Are there any Pokemon that would fit that style of fighting?" "I know! Let's get another Pikachu and dress it up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 This is good news - but [negative comment] Spring 2016 feels a long way away for what is essentially a copy and paste and localization on a non-text heavy fighting game... Seems like padding - or am I wrong and the release date is justified? Christmas 2015 would have been super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home console versions of Bandai Namco's fighting games are always a bit more featured, have more characters etc. than their arcade brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Day 1 purchase... Would totally buy an arcade style controller for it as well, but it's probably best that they don't bring one out, happy either way. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindFreak Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I like it, though I don't understand why it needs to be "Shadow". Isn't Mewtwo evil enough on its own? However, I really hope they expand the roster even more for the Wii U-release. It seems a bit barren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 No. Mewtwo isn't evil. Mewtwo is misunderstood. Serebii, we need to have a talk. Are you contradicting the Pokedex? "However, even though the scientific power of humans created this Pokemon's body, they failed to endow Mewtwo with a compassionate heart." That's OR's entry, but you know that. Because that sounds totally evil to me. Sure, humanity's fault and all that, but still evil. You take that entry written by a 10 year old kid as EFFING GOSPEL! Ahem... So, Shadow Mewtwo? What is this? A sequel to XD? So if this is Mewtwo turning to the dark(er) side, is he trying to be the next Star Wars villain? He must be gunning for the next Smash Bros Character space. He'll fit right in with Dark Pit! I can go on for hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 No. Mewtwo isn't evil. Mewtwo is misunderstood. No he's a dick. This game looks dumb, but maybe in a fun way. Hopefully there's a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Arguably it's what the Stadium games should always have been. Those fights needed to be far more interactive. And yeah. Should just be MewTwo. Seems there has to be a Shadow everyone these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Of all the Shadow Pokemon I'd rather it be one that would be truly different as a shadow... Say... Shadow Jigglypuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
