A new trailer for Pokken Tournament has gone live showing off the game’s various characters. Get a look at the video below.

Today, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company International announced that Pokken Tournament will join the Pokemon Championship Series beginning this spring. For those that are unaware, these tournaments are sanctioned annually by The Pokemon Company International. This year will culminate with the crowning of the Pokken Tournament World Champions in August at the 2016 Pokemon World Championships in San Francisco.

Fans can prepare and even gain entry into the 2016 Pokemon Championship Series is by attending the Pokken Tournament Early Access Competitions hosted by Nintendo at select GameStop locations across the United States on February 27. All winners from the regional tournaments will advance to the finals being held at the Nintendo NY store in New York on March 17. The final two winners of the Pokken Tournament Early Access Competitions will earn travel awards to the 2016 Pokémon US National Championships (July 1-3 in Columbus, Ohio). It’s here that they will battle to advance to the 2016 Pokemon World Championships.

GameXplain recently caught up with Katsuhiro Harada and Masaaki Hoshino from Bandai Namco to talk about Pokken Tournament. The two commented on the game’s origins, the roster, challenges in making Pokemon look realistic, working with the Pokemon Company, Shadow Mewtwo’s creation, and more. You can check out the full discussion below.

Amazon Japan has a listing up for a new Splatoon Wii U GamePad protector from HORI. We received something similar in the west, but this design is a bit different. A cleaning cloth featuring the Squid Sisters is also included in the package.

Based on Amazon Japan’s listing, this product will be available on April 28. The normal price should be around 1,922 yen.

“Malo” has returned with another tweet about Twilight Princess HD on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. Today, he talks a bit about the Goron tribe.

Here’s our translation:

“…It’s Malo. The Goron tribe has skin that’s tough like a rock, and a strong body that can even break rocks… If you look down of them because they look elderly, you’ll be in a world of hurt… So proceed with caution…”
