Following a business analysis conducted by the Group Structure Reform Division beginning last May, Sega has decided to move forward with operations to focus on mobile and online PC games.
This decision has led to the offering of early retirement of almost 300 staff members.
In a statement by Sega:
Voluntary retirement will be solicited in the aforementioned businesses to be withdrawn or consolidated and downsized, while at the same time personnel will be repositioned in digital games and growth areas of Group mainly as development personnel, in order to establish a structure which can constantly generate profits.
As we reported earlier the location testing for Pokken Tournament has begun in Japan and we are continuing to see some fantastic new information coming from it.
The latest bit of information would appear to be that alternate colors and costumes are confirmed, specifically a Red Lucario and a Pikachu wearing blue shorts.
Check back regularly as we will continue to update you as more information comes through.
It would appear as if numerous twitter users are posting pictures of a Pokken Tournament location test in Japan.

This immaculate estate is dotted with luxurious adornments, such as the fountain you see here. Here Beck forgets his grueling battle for a moment and runs through the halls, taking in all the sights. If he’s not careful, security’s gonna tell him off for sure…
