Pokken Tournament (Pokemon and Tekken collaboration)

Yes, while adding new characters and a support mechanic is interesting enough for the game, it's still not "grabbing" me.

Also the no joystick kind of annoys me ermm

So earlier today Pikachu, Gardevoir, and Suicune were confirmed for this game. Suicune in particular surprised me, as it opens the door for other quadrupedal Pokemon.

Gameplay reminds me of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

So I've watched some gameplay of this game and I confirm that I'll be getting it. In case anyone else is interested they show some fights here:

Still weaker than Mewtwo holding a Life Orb biscuits

It was a somewhat expected boss, but I would've liked a less overexploited legendary.

So a bunch of new characters were revealed. After Sceptile we got Braixen, Mewtwo and Garchomp (the latter two pretty obvious choices).

Garchomp's art on HD looks really predatorish and I'm glad what they are doing there. Kind of baffled of getting Braixen out of all not-fully-evolved pokes out there.

Three types are still not represented: Bug, Normal and Rock. One new character is to be announced tomorrow.

It's only being released on Wii U?

Read this:

Amusement Fantasista, a video arcade in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, planned to remove Pokkén Tournament machines in November due to lack of popularity and profitability. Chris Carter of Destructoid noted that one game credit (¥100 or US$1) could last a player 45 minutes, yielding low profits for each machine.

I did read about machines not being terribly profitable, but I did not have a concrete claim. Namco really dropped the ball if their monetary system allows for such long run times without more investment (I recall there is a special system so you don't immediately lose your coin after losing a battle?).

Maybe, I have seen some video's and it looks like a good game, shame they don't branch it out for more systems but then pokemon has always been a Nintendo game
