If there's an Amiibo line that WOULDN'T tank, it would be Pokemon.

I only wish I could get more of the Rumble U NFC figs...

Maybe it's the exact opposite problem: Nintendo couldn't (still can't?) keep certain Smash characters in stock. Probably wouldn't be easy keeping Pokemon on the shelves. Though, Smash Pikachu seemed to be ok.

Evan_B · « **Reply #27 on:** February 20, 2016, 08:05:26 PM »

I don't believe that. Where I'm currently located, Nintendo is having no trouble keeping Amiibo stocked.

Pokken Tournament Combo Video

https://youtu.be/OcrFa3GB1Ds

Looks like the game has plenty of depth but very easy to pickup and play. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is great and all but the huge combo lists are completely overwhelming, this looks a little more beginner friendly like Super Smash Brothers.

Most of those moves require simplistic input commands, but I'm certain we'll see soe more advanced combos as the metagame develops.

Farfetch'd already looks like a prime assist for continuing juggles.

Pokken invitational was fantastic! Wow, there are some really talented kids out there. A great variety of play styles that has definitely made me rethink a purchase. Still going to hold out for an expanded roster, though.

Hype Seniors Final

The Early Access Invitational tournament was really fun to watch. The marketing department is doing their job as I'm tilting towards getting the game at launch.

Evan_B · « **Reply #32 on:** March 17, 2016, 11:04:32 PM »

Yeah, those Seniors did an awesome job. Feel bad for the kid who lost finals, it was literally down to the wire. His Sceptile play was really impressive!

I've barely looked at any footage of this game. It was just one of those things I knew I would be buying.

My 3 year old daughter watched the opening cinematic and kept going "wow, that's so cool!" It almost made me cry. When I'm long gone I know Pokemon fever will live on in her!

I watched her play for about an hour and so far it looks satisfying to play. The attacks seem pretty simple to execute and when they land it looks like it feels good.

A bunch of Mankeys at keyboards are playing Pokken.

And they're winning.

Ah, Twitch Plays Pokemon. Rock on, you crazy thing.

Nia's English voice overs are stilted and lacking. Thankfully, you can turn them off or switch to the Japanese voice overs. Can't quite pin down the Japanese voice actress by ear. I'm mulling over Marina Inoue (Alicia from Valkyria Chronicles) and Megumi Toyoguchi (Winry from Full Metal Alchemist). Leaning towards Marina; probably someone I didn't know.

First hour impression: this is pretty fun and the right amount of complexity for my head. Messing around with Pikachu Libre is such a joy. I'm trying to find as many opportunities to use the Duel Phase, Counter, Down+A move Wild Charge (AKA the Stone Cold Stunner). I pat myself on the back when I remembered that opponents who have crashed against the wall are still vulnerable to attacks and executed a Wild Charge.

Oh, in case anyone was wondering, the amiibo support is of the uninspired Hyrule Warriors variety. You get five slots pull each day to earn an avatar item or in-game currency.

Been really enjoying Pokken more than I thought I would. Was on the fence, but with some amazon gift cards I figured for $25 I couldn't go wrong. What's most surprising is how much my girlfriend and sister loved playing too (GF not a gamer and sister a light gamer).

I feel like its pretty accessible for anyone, but has a level of depth with combos that could get you to sink some serious time and strategy into it. I'm hoping it sells well and we can see some DLC because the roster is a little light and with so many pokemon to choose from I think could add even more diversity into the game.

Although I don't think we'll be seeing any DLC, but if we did what would you guys like to see added? I'd love to see Alakazam =D.

In case anyone's curious, the review has a score now.

Would anyone like to play online? I'm not very good. :<

Evan_B · « **Reply #39 on:** April 11, 2016, 09:58:09 PM »

I will hop online to play you, Phil!

...As soon as I actually pick up the game.

Phil · « **Reply #40 on:** April 11, 2016, 10:06:33 PM »

That works! There's no rush. I don't sell games, so I'll still have my copy when you eventually get it, assuming you decide to do so. If not, that's okay! No pressure! We'll probably be on the same skill level anyway!

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #41 on:** April 27, 2016, 03:59:12 PM »

I'm in for online play once I get the game. I'm waiting for an eshop sale.
I enjoyed the demo quite a bit.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #42 on:** April 27, 2016, 09:47:24 PM »

I try to play this game on a daily basis so if anyone wants to play just PM me sometime. I know I deleted a ton of people from this site but that was only cause I was constantly playing this group of Smashers and needed the room.

So glad a game like this exists now.

You along with quite a few NWR veterans are still on my friends list, especially since we played Mario Kart 8 on a few occasions.

I couldn't delete you, not until you... notice me.

The next Pokemon added to Pokken Tournament's arcade version will be Scizor:

Seeing this announcement also reminded me that we haven't heard anything about Darkrai appearing in the Wii U version yet. Given that both Scizor and Darkrai showed up in those data mining files from a while back, it's likely that the third Pokemon in those files, Empoleon, will be in the arcade version too, so maybe they're waiting for that final reveal to package all three together as DLC.

Order.RSS · « **Reply #46 on:** October 13, 2016, 04:59:28 PM »

Oh cool! I don't like Darkrai or the one you spoilertagged there, but Scizor has a neat design. I'm absolutely awful at this game though, even the cpu regularly stomps me. Went online once and got demolished in seconds hahaha.

Stratos · « **Reply #47 on:** October 17, 2016, 05:53:44 PM »

Scizor being added will push me to finally get this game. Scyther/Scizor is my favorite pokemon and I was holding out for a release like this to pick up the game.
