Pokkén Tournament Fighting Game Trailer Shows Playable Characters

Arcade game out in Japan; worldwide Wii U release slated for spring 2016


Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming a trailer summarizing the playable characters from its arcade game Pokkén Tournament on Monday. The trailer also advertises a Halloween promotion offering the support pokémon Mismagius and Ninetales.

The game will be released worldwide for Wii U in spring 2016.

The game debuted in Japanese arcades in July. The eight playable pokémon available at launch were Charizard, Weavile, Lucario, Machamp, Gardevoir, Suicune, Gengar, and Pikachu. Blazikin and Masked Pikachu were added later. Support pokémon, which can be called to assist in battle with the "L" button, include Emolga, Lapras, Snivy, Frogadier, Eevee, Fennekin, and others.

Battles have two phases. During regular play, a pokémon fills its gauge to activate "resonance burst," where the pokémon is powered-up for a limited time and can perform a special attack.

The game includes tutorial and single-player modes, as well as an online mode that connects players to other arcade systems across Japan.
