Pokémon games do have decent legs though, and this game would sell a lot, even on the Wii U, so it's tricky

I'm hoping that we're getting an April to June arcade launch for this and November/December Wii U launch for Japan, Spring 2016 worldwide...or maybe they do it the other way round and have it Winter 2015 for Europe & America, where arcades are dead, and Spring in Japan where arcades thrive.

Note: the above is speculation and not indicative of insider knowledge

Or they could opt for the console port to be worldwide (or close enough).

After all, much like with the Persona 4 fighter, even the larger fanbase in Japan would likely be happier with a console version that they can play at home with friends, instead of continuously losing their yen by getting bodied by hardcore players that dominate the game centers.

But in any case, I'm just glad I still have my Nico.

 

[Boss Doggie]

On a related note, I take it that this will be similar to the previous stream in that it will have limited slots?

Also who is the guest star/host?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Harada said that the arcade release is to allow lots of testing, which he says is tradition for arcade fighters.

I wonder what arcade unit it's running on. What was Mario Kart Arcade GP DX running on again?

 

[Lernaean]

Namco System N2/ES3. It's basically a pretty much outdated nForce2 powered PC running Win7.
I'm sure we are looking for a new WiiU based system for Pokken.

 

[walnuts]

Nobody wants this guy?

I hope so, to get a possible WIi U version that could be good looking. The first teaser footage wasn't that great, as the Mario GP Arcade footage isn't, compared to MK8

The reveal was just using placeholder models surelly, with no environment detail, no complex material shaders, no fur, etc.
The latest art shows a different style already and i'm sure that the game will be further enhanced before it reaches location testing.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Infernape and Delphox playable pls and thank you

 

[nintendork666]

Give me Lickitung or give me death.

 

[QisTopTier]

Nobody wants this guy?

I rather have Golduck, I honestly don't want any non full evolved pokes, barring the exception to pikachu because yeah Raichu pretty much doesn't exist anymore

 

[foxuzamaki]

But raichu is better in every single way

 

[QisTopTier]

But raichu is better in every single way

I agree but you can blame the anime and such on making him non-existent

 

[foxuzamaki]

stupid animu

 

[Daingurse]

Man, I'm happy I have a Wii-U now. I am very interested in this. Can't wait to see what Pokes get in.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

S tier is reserved for Pokemon with S in the name.
Stunfisk is basically the new Lars.

 

[Boss Doggie]

who is the host? no one translated the "feat." guy

 

[ReyVGM]

Hopefully the game has those cool FMV endings the Tekken games have.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Blaziken or riot.

 

[SmithnCo]

Blaziken or riot.

He's pretty much confirmed, he was in the first early screenshot vs. Lucario.

 

[Kyzon]

Chesnaught Hype!

 

[TWILT]

Greninja/Scizor/Haxorus/Breloom please!

 

[Bagu]

I dunno, but I like imagining Iwata personally driving a truck filled with unsold Wii Us from their warehouse and dropping them off in front of Namco's building.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Bamco is a pretty chummy 3rd party all things considered.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I dunno, but I like imagining Iwata personally driving a truck filled with unsold Wii Us from their warehouse and dropping them off in front of Namco's building.

And Tecmo Koei.

Seriously, those two are the only 3rd-parties that give a damn about Wii U. Sega, not so much looking at Sonic Lost World and ESPECIALLY Sonic Boom.

 

[Flying Wonkey]

The guests for the niconico stream has not yet been revealed. But considering the last time Pokken was on stream I guess both Harada and Hoshino from Namco might be on there?

Oh and the "feat." part is actually part of the Famitsu show's name: "Monthly Famitsu Feat." The niconico description just mentions that Famitsu editors and guests will be on the show.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Da fuck at the scheduled time according to the niconico page:

Floor Guide
Jan/22/2015 (THU) Opens: 25:50 Starts: 26:00

25 o'clock DOES NOT EXIST!

Just say it opens at 1:50AM and begins at 2AM.

This means it starts at 12PM EST on Thursday right?

mmmm mmmm love the fur on that model.

I'm not a big fan of Pokemon and I'm really excited for Pokken.

 

[JoeM86]

That's the title of the show...just "Famitsu feat. ". No host given, no details given, just Friday January 23rd at 19:00 JST for Pokkén

Edit: Oops, was already said

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hopefully someone will stream in youtube... and it's not that guy with an annoying voice

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Wait, this is a real thing? I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't realize it had ever been officially announced.

How much is it? If it's cheap enough then I'll bite, I have other streams I want to watch in good quality on NicoNicho anyways.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Are you going to stream?

 

[JoeM86]

It's 560 yen, so £3.18 for me. That's for a month. It autorenews so I always cancel just before the end of the month and pay when I need it.

Are you going to stream?

Nope. Technically that violates their ToS

[Village]

Got some details about the stream

Almost misread your post, I was about to be like

" They got tekken and DOA5 dudes on this, this about to be the best 3d fighting game,"

But then i read and calmed down

 

[DizzyCrow]

How long it will be?

 

[JoeM86]

How long it will be?

They are typically around an hour so expect like 15 minutes per game

Almost misread your post, I was about to be like

" They got tekken and DOA5 dudes on this, this about to be the best 3d fighting game,"

But then i read and calmed down

They have Tekken and Soul Calibur guys on this though.

I remember when a friend of mine notified me that Hoshino tweeted about the Pokémon Game Show when it was happening, then quickly deleted the tweet. That's how this all began...
