Confirmed: the Wii U will have Pokkén Tournament

Confirmed during the Pokémon World Championship in Boston, Pokkén Tournament will be playable on the Nintendo Wii U Spring 2016. Pokkén Tournament is currently playable on arcades in Japan only but it has been mentioned that the game would be tested in the United States at specific Dave & Buster’s locations. Vice President of Dave & Buster’s, Kevin Bachus, had stated during a Reddit AMA in July,

“Yes. We will be testing Pokken. Candidly both NAMCO and I are more optimistic about that title and our typical guests than Tekken.”

The Dave & Buster’s locations that will be testing Pokkén Tournament still have yet to be disclosed, so Pokémon fans will have stay alPT Machampert for more information.

You can watch a Pokkén Tournament Championship that is currently taken place in Boston at twitch.tv/pokemon.
