Japan

Japanese publication Game Watch attended a location test for Pokken Tournament at the Namco Lazona Kawasaki arcade. Plenty of information was provided in the site’s report (a mix of old/new), and Gematsu translated a ton of details from the article. We’ve rounded all of the tidbits below.

– Button layout on the controller similar to ones employed in older systems like the Super Nintendo
– Controller features more modern ergonomic philosophies in terms of how its handles are designed
– d-pad, four face buttons, A, B, X, Y, Start button on the controller, plus L and R triggers

Controls:

D-Pad: Character movement. Hitting a direction twice will perform a short step.
Y Button: Weak attack.
X Button: Strong attack.
B Button: Jump.
A Button: Pokemon Move.
L Button: Summon Support Pokemon.
R Button: Guard.
L+R Buttons: Burst Mode. Press again during Burst Mode for a Burst Attack. (More details below.)

The Legend of Legacy ended up selling 53,974 copies in its first week, according to Media Create. It’s now been made known that the game sold through 83 percent of its initial shipment. That made The Legend of Legacy tough to find at retail.

Retailers told Media Create that The Legend of Legacy mainly sold to fans of the SaGa series. In the past, FuRyu heavily promoted how the game was made by Square Enix staff including those who worked on SaGa.

It would appear as if numerous twitter users are posting pictures of a Pokken Tournament location test in Japan.

Even Junichi Masuda from Game Freak seems to be showing off some pictures as well!
