Pokemon Company announces Pokken Tournament, an arcade-only fighting game

Last week, The Pokemon Company promised a “shocking” announcement related to the long-running franchise. This morning, we got our first glimpse at their new project and, I have to admit, I’m pretty shocked.

The Pokemon Company is teaming up with Bandai Namco to produce a Tekken-like 3D fighter known as Pokken Tournament. Katsuhiro Harada, the Producer behind the Tekken series, will oversee the game, which will be available in Japanese arcades beginning next year. A Wii U launch wasn’t announced, but it’s certainly a possibility, especially since Nintendo and Bandai Namco are already working together on this year’s Super Smash Bros. 4.

You can find the teaser trailer for Pokken Tournament embedded above.
