Pokken in NicoNico Stream feat. Famitsu (Jan 23)

I hope it's 15 minutes of pure awesomeness.
Yeah, I saw that too.
Was difficult to prove because neither I or anybody else was able to get screengrab in time, but there it was.
I'm just glad the "Soul Team" will apparently have other work besides work on that F2P SoulCalibur game.

Before it was revealed that they weren't going to explicitly focus on Fighting Types? This would've been ideal for me (along with the likes of Pangoro for Yakuza strongman).
I suppose the very reason that this game won't have a traditional "high-low" game is because it'll make it easier to integrate non-bipeds into the mix.
I think we'll have mostly Fighting-types, but a lot of others that aren't
I'm just hoping that Luchadore Pikachu is a playable character.
Agreed. I'd be very surprised if we don't see it.
All I'm hoping is that the like of Machamp will showcase that we'll get an interesting roster, with lesser seen PKMN getting a chance to shine when they usually don't in spin-offs like this.
After all, with actual Fire/Fighting types like Blaziken, Infernape and Emboar to select from, who needs Charizard, anyway?
Fire/Fighting Mega Charizard Z coming?

Is this what you have to do now?
Yes. If I forget, then things get squirly, too.

Fingers crossed for playable Nurse Joy & Officer Jenny! j/k
On a serious note it will be good to get some actual info. I highly suspect it to come to Wii U in 2016, but won't announce it too early. I mean they need some stuff to pad out the E3 line up (suspect the same for Fatal Frame localisation).

Why is Attack of Christopher in the stream, it's not a new game.
Or is it getting a major update?

Should go without saying, but I wouldn't expect any console news at all, until at least 6 months have passed since the game's been in arcades.
For the first half of this game's life, its job is to be a success in arcades, because that's how Namco makes their money out of the deal. A premature console port announcement would undercut that a bit.
I'm expecting a few more character reveals, and maybe some actual details on how this game actually plays. I mean, having no "high-low" is one thing, but they kinda threw that out there without the slightest inclination of what else we can expect from this game, otherwise.
A part of me is still hoping that maybe SC-style 8-way Run will find its way into the mix (especially if Project Soul is really involved).
What arcade hardware do you think this will run on?
Namco's recent Mario Kart Arcade Gp DX runs on it's own PC based, ES-3 hardware.
Why is this relevant? Purely my own speculation. Because there was never a chance of a home version (we were getting Mario Kart 8) so they never needed to develop a Wii U based arcade board. If you look back to Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Capcom released that game in the arcades on Wii based arcade hardware so the port over to the Wii was done effortlessly - probably uses the same code. Happened before with F-Zero GX/AX and the Triforce arcade hardware too.
But on the flipped, arcade hardware may not be important at all as the Wii U has a very good version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 which ran on custom arcade hardware too.
Ahhh, I'm just rambling.

Dugtrio needs to be confirmed.
That's a good point. Grunts is just about okay, but even Link sounded amusing in SC2.

Yes.
Some people think Joe has an army of Pokemon insiders for some reason. It's... weird.
Unless Namco is still in the business of making brand new arcade hardware for separate games? I think it'll just be another System 357/369 game, just like practically everything else they put out now-a-days.
357/369 are based on PS3 specs, so a game made on that hardware should be well within the Wii U's capabilities as much as TTT2 was.
Guess it'll depend on just what kind of "world" this game takes place in. If there's no human presence, then by all means, just have them talk, I'd say.

I wonder if they'll allow "combined" Pokemon.
Like say, Galvantula is playable. But rather than just Galvantula, she (a mother) carries a bunch of Joltik on her back so it's essentially a Galvantula + Joltik character who has minion based attacks.

Nooooooo. The spider can stay out.
If they were to do something like that, it'd be more logical for Vespiquen with its Attack Order/Defend Order

I'd rather watch the whole thing, primarily because of Pooh bear.
Ah right it was implied she has Combee inside her.
Aww but they're cute and cuddly :3

And why do you say that, oh naysayer?

Tekken doesn't usually suck, so why would it?
HD definitive edition.
Robin-Sensei wants his revenge.
And that's perhaps the best thing about the game getting an arcade release, first. Such a game has to prove itself to arcade goers, first, which means the likelihood of it being shovelware by the time a console port happens is even less.

It just dawned to me.
Even Bamco cared more for Pokemon than Digimon.

When has Tekken ever sucked? Thank you for your contribution. As for me, I'll be boarding the hype train that will be arriving shortly.

To me, the fact that Ishihara came out the gate with suggesting a fighting game being made says a lot. In the last few years, the mainstream PKMN games have done a good deal to cater to the metagame and competitive play. Now, we're getting the company president suggesting that a known fighting game dev make a game for them.
Not to dredge up arguments relating to a certain other video game series and its developer...but it's refreshing to see that at least The Pokémon Company seemingly embraces this aspect with open arms.

IDK you have Kill la Kill avatar so I don't know if I can trust your judgement on something being good or sucking
You obviously don't know or respect the pedigree.

I honestly feel a certain someone is more fitting to be the boss of Tekken. Not Mewtwo. Not Arceus.
DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL
He even fits the typical "grant a wish" set up used in a lot of competitive-based story!
SC team less experienced?
Oh so it was all thanks to Taiko Drum Master licensing an anime music.
All hail Don and Katsu!
I just find it hilarious and depressing.
All Star Rumble was wtf, I mean look at this!
(although mad props to Shoutmon X4B's super, that is rad and Super Robot worthy)

My understanding is that that was a cheap thing ordered by Saban to complement the show.
Cyber Sleuth, for example, clearly has had a lot of effort put into it.
From my understanding, the "new" Project Soul team that was formed beginning around SC5's development is a newer version of the team with newer members, with Masaki Hoshino at the head.
If effectively the only thing this restructured team has to its credit is SCV and the SC F2P game? Then yeah, it likely would be a good thing that Hoshino has Harada looking in to oversee.
ok
What in the world is that? Am I really that out of the loop with recent Pokemon??
