Yeah I'm feeling and Wii U port quickly. Why upload a trailer for a Japanese arcade game on the US channel so quick and translated?

Yeah, I'm guessing the Wii U port is coming a few months after the arcade release. Maybe Summer next year, to tide us over until Zelda in the Fall / Winter?

"Planned for arcade release in Japan."

Why did they even bother?

If it wasn't coming to the West, they wouldn't have bothered.

My most wanted rep, per gen, would probably be Mewtwo, Hitmontop, Registeel, Darkrai, Sawk, and Hawlucha. Not all fighting types, but I doubt this game is all fighting types.

* Megaevo for Mewtwo
Good list.

This game is gonna be exciting if the roster lives up to even a little of it's potential.

I hope they have a few Pokemon that aren't fighting type too, just to mix it up a little.
 
Dream Roster so far:

Lucario
Machamp
Blaziken
Zoroark
Lopunny -> Mega Lopunny
Mewtwo -> MegaY/MegaX
Snorlax
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
Bisharp
Gardevoir -> Mega Gardevoir
Hawlucha
Primeape
 
Unless Nintendo intend to release a successor in 2015 (they aren't), what else would they put it on? 3DS?

Why do you think this will come out on console in 2015? It might come in mid 2016 or later we never know and Nintendo could launch the next gen console by then. It's too early to claim it will definitely come to WiiU.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. It makes sense as a summer release.

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.

I wasn't talking about a Japanese release. They can release on Japanese Wii u's (or next console) way after western release. That won't affect Japanese arcades at all.

Really unfortunate that it is only arcade so far and so far out.
At this rate Christmas 2015 Japan BEST case for WiiU?
WiiU really could have used this sooner.

It's based on Tekken, so it will almost definitely be a 2D plane with 3D sidestepping.
All those high jumps says otherwise. Definitely not a characteristic in 3d fighters. Plus lack of any sidestepping in teaser. Hopefully it is 3D though. Easier for me to get into coming from Tekken.

Now I need a company make a PS2 to Wii U adapter :p
