The long-rumored Pokemon game “Pokken Tournament” has finally been made official. Famitsu properly unveiled the title during a live stream event held just a short while ago.
Bandai Namco is behind Pokken Fighters, which shouldn’t be too surprising given the nature of the game. Well-known Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada is involved with the project.
Pokken Tournament will be coming to arcades in 2015.

Famitsu also has news on a new character Regina, cooking, and a new system. We’ll have the details here soon.
