Release it Nintendo. RIGHT NOW.

This gives even greater evidence for a Wii U port.
Nintendo probably wants to save the console announcement for when they'll need it. The past few Januarys have had new Wii U game announcements. Last year was Hyrule Warriors. I could see Pokken taking that spot.

It's a bit hard to be REALLY hyped when it's only announced for the Arcade in Japan so far, but it has to show up on Wii U worldwide eventually. It just... might not be until 2016. :'s
I hope it has Brelloom.

I don't think they're going to want to sit on this too long. I imagine it will be sometime within 6-9 months.

Nah, pokegirls are just the bonus in this game.
Fire Emblem and Zelda already have their crossovers too ;(

So hyped. Hopefully it'll fill out Wii U's 2016 lineup. In the meantime, there are still arcades to be found Dave & Buster's better get these cabinets as soon as possible!
*facepalm*
You don't need a petition. It's going to be out on Wii U one year max after the arcade version. Harada hinted it, Pokémon are co-owned by Nintendo, Nintendo needs games on Wii U.
Besides, two different names have been trademarked, Pokkén Tournament and Pokkén Fighters, the latter could be the Wii U version's name.

I thought that too, but it would be too early for a console announcement. I'd say that E3 next year is more likely to have it's home version confirmed for worldwide release.
My money is on arcade Summer 2015, Wii U Winter 2015
Oh fuck, I need a twitter. Gonna tweet my 98 suggestions.

Which was an update of Tekken 6...
A lot of people were speculating about this using Amiibo before the game was officially announced. Now that it is, and it's going to have an arcade release first...is Amiibo feasible now? Maybe the console release will have extra characters/modes etc?
Also, imagine this becomes a staple Nintendo IP that gets new iterations and we get a Pokken Tag Tournament! :0

Tekken 6 was a mistake they won't make again. The arcade release also had a major upgrade in between (at the 1 year mark) called Bloodline Rebellion.
Same with Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Consoles only ever got Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited.
I hope we get to recreate this. Everyone vote for Hitmonchan!
People are in such a rush to complain. This is coming to Wii U! Just later, is all.

May I have a cookie?
Woah, where'd you get that image from?it was his backup plan all along
i think it looks great it was trademarked for the wii u so it will be coming sooner or later.
I think I made it a couple years ago, haven't seen it since.

I can't believe people actually think this will not come out on Wii U.
Anyway, off the top of my head I want to see:
Scyther
Scizor (possibly a super or something like I assume the Mega Lucario is)
Hitmontop
Breloom
Deoxys (either seperate or with form change move)
Gallade
Hawlucha
I imagine Luchadore costume Pikachu will be in it too.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Same though potentially an arcade release in late March is my guess, and a Wii U version in late October with amiibo figurines.
Honestly I swear people are either getting stupid or really impatient. It will get a Wii U release and it will get localized they just need to hold their Rapidash and be a bro and wait patiently like a Slowbro.
Pokemon that seem good:
Primeape
Poliwrath
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
Hitmontop
Mega Mewtwo
Heracross & Mega
Blaziken & Mega
Breloom
Infernape
Toxicroak
Gallade
Conkeldurr
Hawlucha
Sawk
Throh
Non-fighting Pokemon that would be a good fit:
Dragonite
Haxorous
Scizor
Scyther
Pinsir
Armaldo
Genesect
Tyranitar & Mega
Shiftry
Greninja
Electavire/buzz
(Mega) Ampharos
Magmar/mortar
Darmanitan
Typhlosion
Delphox
Xatu
Sceptile
Ludicolo
Chesnaught
Sandslash
Nidoking/queen
Rhyperior
Swampert
Krookodile
Sneasel
Gengar
Alakazam
Mewtwo
Bisharp
Urasaring
Feraligatr
There's a ton of 'em that could be cool. I even tried to leave out a bunch. I failed though. So let's say it has to be a shortlist... we'll go with 20:

2. Hitmonlee
3. Primeape
4. Poliwrath
5. Breloom
6. Blaziken
7. Infernape
8. Toxicroak

Looks pretty good.
And so many potential fighters in this project, it's not even funny!

I hope they keep it limited to fighting Pokés as much as possible. There's tons of them and it would suck if one of them got snuffed just to get some fan favourites in.
Also, Mega Mewtwo Y in Smash, Mega Mewtwo X in Pokkén oommmmggg

I can dream
I'm thinking late 2015, maybe early 2016. No way this is taking a year or more, hopefully.

That got a full arcade release with new characters. It is not the same game.
The initial trademark was made in October 2012. Two and a half years is enough time really

You want another prediction? Pokken Fighters is gonna be the Amiibo line, while Tournament will stay as the name of the game.

That's definitely how Nintendo will be selling the game - no doubt about it.
Well gotta say that's my expectation as well
Ah ok. I was under the assumption that a petition was a petition. Silly me.
