Bandai Namco to reveal new Pokken Tournament arcade fighter on December 1
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Bandai Namco is set to unveil another new fighter in the arcade version of Pokken Tournament in just a few days. Today, the company has confirmed that a new roster addition will be announced on December 1 – this coming Thursday.
Scizor was added to Pokken Tournament arcade in October. Last month, Bandai Namco followed that up by bringing in Croagunk, which was somewhat unexpected. Since Darkrai was introduced during the summer, Empoleon is the only remaining character found in patch files for the Wii U version that has not been unveiled – so perhaps this Pokemon could be the new addition.
Bandai Namco has recently been showing new Pokken Tournament fighters during Niconico streams, but we haven’t heard anything about a broadcast thus far. Regardless, look for news later this week.

Update: Added in a higher-quality version of the trailer.
Original: Another new character has been confirmed for the arcade version of Pokken Tournament. However, the roster addition comes as a bit of a surprise. While many expected Empoleon to be announced, Croagunk will instead be joining the fighting title.

New Pokken Tournament arcade character reveal planned for November 1
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 28 Comments
Another new character will be revealed for the arcade version of Pokken Tournament on November 1. On the official Japanese website, Bandai Namco teased the upcoming news. The announcement will take place during a Niconico stream per usual.
News will drop at roughly the following times:
– 4 AM PT
– 7 AM ET
– 12 PM in the UK
– 1 PM in Europe
Thus far, Darkrai and Scizor have been added to Pokken Tournament in arcades. Both were spotted in update files from the Wii U version several months ago along with Empoleon. Because of that, it’s likely then that Empoleon will be the newest character for Pokken Tournament.

New character for Pokken Tournament’s arcade version to be revealed on October 13
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 24 Comments
Darkrai was revealed – and subsequently released – as a new character in the arcade version of Pokken Tournament during the summer. Bandai Namco is now teasing the announcement of another fighter. On October 13, we’ll be hearing something about the latest roster addition.
We do want to stress that this news only pertains to Pokken Tournament in the arcades for the time being. Even though Darkrai was spotted in update files on Wii U, that Pokemon still hasn’t been made available in the console version. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Darkrai and this other new mystery character have been ruled out for Wii U – we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
