Wait it only lists Pokken as an Eshop game for US...is that true?
@Zapazoid No it can be bought in store. I called some of my local retailers just so I can get Shadow Mewtwo.
I trust that this game will ship 'complete' and not become the fiasco that Street Fighter V is currently enduring!! Looking forward to it.
