One multiplayer option in Pokken Tournament is LAN battle mode. With this functionality, local multiplayer with 60 frames per second is possible.

Below are the different requirements for three different routes that can be taken with LAN battles:

And some extra notes for Route C:

– Routes A and B just need you to set the Internet options on the Wii U to Wired and Wireless respectively
– For Route C, there are some extra steps
– First: set both Wii Us up to connect via Wired Connection
– When the test fails, cancel out but save the connection
– Go into the settings for the connection and change the IP to 192.168.000.001 (or 192.168.000.002 on the second Wii U), Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.000 and Default Gateway to 192.168.000.050
– For the DNS settings, set it as “Do not automatically obtain”
– Set Primary DNS to 1.0.0.0
– Save the settings

Note that to activate LAN battle, you have to hold down L, R & down on the d-pad on the title screen.

Supply issues in Japan is something we initially heard about around a month ago. Interestingly, it seems to still be a problem of sorts.

Joshin, a big chain electronics store in Japan, recently posted a message about Wii U supply. It starts out by stating that the Premium Set is currently unavailable. Consumers are told that they need to understand the console is currently out of stock before placing an order, and Joshin has no confirmation as to when it will be available again.

Those who are really in need of a Wii U can only hope that the issue resolves soon. Joshin also won’t answer any emails about when the console will be back in stock. Units will be shipped as soon as possible, and due to an issue with resellers, only one console can be ordered at this time.

Wii U stock will be shipped as soon as possible. Consumers will be informed by email when orders are being sent out.

Thanks to Ben for sending this in.

During the latest Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Project Guard became Star Fox Guard. This was a title that originally debuted at E3 2014 alongside Project Giant Robot. Some may be curious about that game’s status.

In an interview with TIME, Shigeru Miyamoto indicated that Project Giant Robot hasn’t materialized into a full experience. He told the publication:

“‘Project Giant Robot’ was something we started as a second project, and unfortunately we haven’t yet decided to turn that into a full game.”

Will we eventually see Project Giant Robot become its own thing? Or will it remain as only a temporary E3 demo? Only time will tell!
