I wish I were lying to you.
I just hoping it's a quick port from Arcade to console.

The saddest thing is most of NeoGAF users ignorance. Of course it's not guaranteed but it's the most logical thing to believe that it'll come to Wii U in a few months.
On the contrary we should be surprised if it doesn't come on Wii U.
For now I hope the Arcade Center next to my place will have it one day
Now I want more gameplay videos and details about the game please (next Famitsu?)

We'll see, won't we. Neither of us can predict the future, so you can't say that what I said is false.
I would put money on it being a launch title for Nintendo's next hardware.
It doesn't have to be a "Wii U" game, you know.

Both arcade and Wii version launched in December 2008. Capcom does what Bandon't (or something...)

I wonder if we'll get to play as some unevolved Pokemon? The thought of a fightng game with only fightng type Pokemon really speaks to me and I want it bad! Just please don't be as complicated as a normal Tekken game. Give it lots of depth just let me approach it without fear. Though I guess being a Pokemon game alone will ensure that I really put time into the characters.
Man if Primeape gets the shaft again I will be pissed! Let us use almost all the fully evolved fighting types please! Anytime a new generation of Pokemon is released we can get a sequel and that would be fine by me.
Not worried about being an arcade only for now. I know how Namco's fighters work.

So weird, but still so awesome!
Sadly because of the arcade situation in my area it will probably be out on Wii U before I'd ever see an actual arcade machine of it in real life lol.

Most fighting games don't perform well on consoles for some reason in Japan. I think the most successful was persona 4 Arena, and that wasn't due to fighting games fan.

They chose two of the least interesting Fighting types to show off. Show Hitmontop and Hawlucha!

Yeah, Smash is a good reason not to release that now.

There are now more posts in this thread like yours than the ones you lot are decrying.
Releasing the console version 4-5 months is too early and has the potential to cut drastically into the arcade business of the game. Releasing a year after the arcade is perfectly fine. Namco isn't going to kill their arcade business for the sake of releasing it early. They already did that once with Tekken 5 and it was not a wise business decision on their part. Hence they haven't done it again.
FG market is a niche so a lot of people don't know how it work sadly...
Arcade release > console release
Yeah, it's really not surprising. The only strange thing I can think of is that Tekken 7 was announced for PS4 alongside arcades right when it got revealed already.

Re-posting this on this page, since it was at the bottom of the last page, and is important information:
It's coming to consoles. The Pokemon Company boss said during the stream that it's coming to arcades first, and then later said "oops" about revealing the "first" part.

Greninja and Infernape better be in this.
Unless Nintendo intend to release a successor in 2015 (they aren't), what else would they put it on? 3DS?

Plus, it's Harada. This could have been a single player rpg and it would have hit arcades first lol

Ok so get rid of most... still I don't understand but that's not the most important thing here. The most important thing is that we have a new Pokémon game genre coming and it can be good since there is Harada here

The biggest visual difference between this and TTT2, besides the obvious, was the lack of the heavy object motion blur. Maybe they'll work that in later.

I think this is probably confirmation that we'll be getting this.

Fighting types only, no cheaters allowed.

I microwave steaks.
Fighting games, as much as I hate to say it, is a niche genre. Pokemon as a series is not, mix them together and you get this.
Those visuals don't look like the game is intended for a system with PS4/XBO fidelity. I mean, it doesn't look bad by any means, but look at the textures on Lucario. It was clearly designed with a Wii U port in mind.
Thank you Google Translate, this whole page made sense.
Now to use the hashtag "Pop Fist"!
