Pokkén Tournament has been announced for the Wii U! Starting in spring, 2016, you can bring home the fun of the exciting Pokémon arcade fighting game. In Pokkén Tournament, Pokémon appear more lifelike than ever before, with amazing graphics and smooth, fluid movements. You will love seeing and battling with your favorite Pokémon.
Pokkén Tournament was developed with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, Inc., the producers of one of the top achievements in fighting games, the Tekken series. True to its legacy, this game brings tight gameplay and incredible control to never-before-seen battles between Pokémon. The gameplay is designed to be enjoyed by a wide range of people—even those who have never played a fighting game or an action game before can easily pick it up and play!
Gameplay
Battles consist of two interchangeable phases: the Field Phase, in which players fight in 3D, and the Duel Phase, in which players fight in 2D. During battle, players are able to summon one of their two support Pokémon, which cause a variety of effects. Attacking builds up the "Resonance Gauge", which when filled makes the player more powerful and allows them to use a super move. In addition to single-player battles, multiplayer is also available, in which one player uses the Wii U GamePad screen while the other uses the TV screen with a different controller.
The game is compatible with amiibo, and by scanning up to five once a day players can obtain various bonuses.
