In all its glory

Pokkén Tournament is due out in the west sometime in spring and hype for it continues to grow. Just recently, Sceptile was announced as a new fighter, and Electrode and Farfetch'd were announced as Support Fighters. At any rate, it seems that there's a bit of a dearth of modern fighting games on the Wii U, so this should make a nice addition to the library.

Pokkén Tournament is available in arcades all over Japan and each machine is outfitted with controllers that somewhat resemble the control layout of the Wii U GamePad. Perhaps in an effort to make sure that those who honed their skills in the arcade will have an easier time transitioning to the Wii U version, it's been announced that a variant of the Pokkén Tournament controller will be made available for the Wii U in Japan. The peripheral will be made by Hori and it launches on 18th March in the region.
