Support NeoGAF

[Boss Doggie]

Serebii

Some modes have been announced for the Wii U version of Pokkén Tournament. First is the standard Single Battle, which has three different difficulty levels. Next is the previously announced local battle where one player plays on the GamePad and another with a standard controller. During this mode, the game will run at 30fps rather than the standard 60fps. Finally is the online mode which has rankings and competitions. It also states that you can use a LAN Cable to link two Wii Us

I knew there's gonna be a catch on the whole gamepad thing, since I even believe they wouldn't be able to pull it.

also two new assists

THERE IS A GOD!!!!

THERE IS HOPE FOR COMPETITIVE POKKÉN!!!!

 

[LightningXCE]

Yessssss

 

[Nightbird]

We esports now!

 

[Mariolee]

Yes! Also those models look so good. I really can't wait until we get another Stadium game.

 

[Thorakai]

pachirisu should have been made a playable fighter in honor of its vgc performance

 

[TreIII]

Good that somebody was wise enough to invest in a LAN option.

Because 30fps for local otherwise would've killed it right there and then.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also there are screenshots of the new mons (barring Chandelure) but I can't find the source for it. Anyone wanna post them?

 

[Drilbit777]

Well at least there's hope now for the lifespan of pokken. I was almost worried there

 

[Renkax]

Will it support the wiiu arcade stick ?;<

 

[Jpop]

Now they just need to patch Splatoon, Smash, Mario Kart ect...

 

[Skilletor]

I need two Wii Us to play this game at 60fps local?

Whack.

 

[bon]

Croagunk is in the game but he's a support? Are you kiddin me?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

He's not good enough.

Pretty much like the arcade machines.

[Renewed]

Was a wired option for controllers confirmed?

 

[Crayolan]

30 FPS without 2 consoles sucks.

I hope the Magikarp assist is just a useless splash.

Riding its wand like a witch's broomstick is amazing.

 

[Neoxon]

The TTT2 TE from Mad Catz acts as a Classic Controller, so I'd assume so. You can also get a USB-wired Fight Pad made specifically for Pokkén Tournament for $30.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Now they just need to patch Splatoon, Smash, Mario Kart ect...

I'm pretty sure Splatoon actually has LAN support.

 

[JoseLopez]

Nope, this pretty much will kill local tournaments with small spaces and that intern will kill bigger tournament.

Well they're bringing the full arcade experience for real then

I reckon the actual events that will have Pokemon (i.e. Worlds) will use the arcades anyway.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm pretty sure Splatoon actually has LAN support.

How Splatoon handles LAN is a bit weird. You have to connect all Wii Us to a router that has internet access. From the sounds of this, Pokkén Tournament allows for a direct connection between two Wii Us.

This is what the page says

[Cert.in.Death]

And where the hell does the LAN cable go?

EDIT: As in, is it expected that each Wii U have its own separate LAN adapter?

 

[Neoxon]

And where the hell does the LAN cable go?

The Ethernet Adapter, which plugs in via USB.

[Boss Doggie]

where you guys got those screenies?

 

[Jpop]

I'm pretty sure Splatoon actually has LAN support.

Not direct LAN it still has to connect via WiFi

 

[papertoonz]

Garchomp looking good ,cant wait to try him out and YAY lan mode

 

[Cartman86]

Every game should do this for the sake of the future when the network goes down.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Bustin out my TvC Stick for this mug.

 

[El Sabroso]

Shit local multiplayer FPS downgrade is LAME AF for a fighting game, gotta setup that second Wii U then

 

[dhonk]

LAN support in 2016 is really cool actually. Thank gosh someones doing it.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

The renders all kind of look oddly ceramic. Like the way fired clay looks when it has a thin layer of glaze on it. The in-game models don't look like this as much, though.

This should be good for the competitive scene! Also, wasn't there a thread about an official wired controller coming? I could have sworn there was. Looks like they're aiming for this to have a competitive scene.

EDIT: Found the thread.

 

[HyperHip]

Didn't think Nintendo/Namco would do it, but thank god they came with the goods !

 

[Koppai]

This game looks so fucking good!!! Omg I am so happy that I am a Pokémon fan!

 

[@MUWANdo]

Isn't the online requirement basically for relaying match outcomes to the server rather than the actual match connection?

 

[Dereck]

What does the LAN cable look like?

"A LAN cable"

Right, but I wanna see a pic of two mawfuckas linked up playing this or is Nintendo "making" a LAN cable specifically for this game?

I honestly am not sure.

 

[Mory Dunz]

LAN would mean that each Wii U has one of the USB adapters and an ethernet cable connecting the two.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Man, that Garchomp is sexy in Pokken! Holy shit, all that detail.

Cheaper and it works exactly like the Nintendo LAN Adapter http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F41TWAO/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[NeOak]

More like $12. The HDE lan adapters have gone as low as $6 ea

I got the Nyko one that is sold out and scalped for no reason. I just linked that to show the official product.

 

[papertoonz]

oh yeah here is some Braixen shots

This is what I had in mind.

lmao

 

[Neoxon]

The GameCube did something similar with Mario Kart: Double Dash.

 

[Dryk]

Before it was revealed I expected to be Delphox's schtick. I'll accept this on the condition that it's a stinger.
