Pokken Tournament version 1.2 not letting North American players game online worldwide
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Pokken Tournament version 1.2 is currently making it impossible for those in North America to play with others outside of the region. These users are not getting matched is because Shadow Mewtwo’s light pillar in field phase operates differently compared to the rest of the world. Since there are two versions of Shadow Mewtwo, the North American servers are unable to handle the conflicting data.
We’ll keep tabs on the situation. If the situation is fixed, we’ll be sure to let you know.
