During today’s Pokken Tournament live stream, producer Katsuhiro Harada unveiled the controller that will be used for the arcade system. Here’s what we learned:
– Pokken Tournament isn’t going to be as difficult to get into compared to other fighting games
– Namco is developing it with both veteran players and newcomers to the genre in mind
– This controller was chosen to make it easier for beginners to get into since arcade sticks can be a little difficult or intimidating for those who’ve yet to play a fighting game
– The controller has a red part that lights up below
– Trigger buttons, traditional d-pad, four face buttons also included
– Said to resemble the look of the Famicom controller
The monthly Famitsu stream for Pokken Tournament has begun and there are plenty of details already emerging about the arcade game to be release in Japan.
First, we know about three new Pokemon set to be included. They are Suicune, Gardevoir and Pikachu. Support Pokemon, which can be used to help, were also shown for the first time.
The stream also gives us a look at Pokken Tournament’s arcade machine.

Nintendo UK has now made the next wave of amiibo available for pre-order on the Nintendo Official UK store.
If any of the other amiibo are any indication I am sure this wave will sell out pretty quickly, especially for the most sought after characters.
It is unclear at this time when this will be available in other areas, stay tuned for additional updates as we get them.
Here is a post from Miiverse giving us some more details about the upcoming Retro City Rampage DX update due out next month.
