Here’s an absolutely random weekend post for you. During her Super Bowl halftime performance a short while ago, singer Katy Perry was seen wearing a Wii Remote strap. I suppose she didn’t want her microphone flying out of her hands!

Update: Now sold out! Didn’t last too long, but a bit longer than expected.

I don’t see this lasting long, but the Rosalina amiibo is currently in stock on Target.com. You can place an order here. We’ll keep track of the stock situation and will update this post when the amiibo becomes unavailable!

Japanese publication Game Watch attended a location test for Pokken Tournament at the Namco Lazona Kawasaki arcade. Plenty of information was provided in the site’s report (a mix of old/new), and Gematsu translated a ton of details from the article. We’ve rounded all of the tidbits below.

– Button layout on the controller similar to ones employed in older systems like the Super Nintendo
– Controller features more modern ergonomic philosophies in terms of how its handles are designed
– d-pad, four face buttons, A, B, X, Y, Start button on the controller, plus L and R triggers

Controls:

D-Pad: Character movement. Hitting a direction twice will perform a short step.
Y Button: Weak attack.
X Button: Strong attack.
B Button: Jump.
A Button: Pokemon Move.
L Button: Summon Support Pokemon.
R Button: Guard.
L+R Buttons: Burst Mode. Press again during Burst Mode for a Burst Attack. (More details below.)
Y+B Buttons: Grab.
X+A Buttons: Block Attack. (More details below.)
