The 2015 World Pokémon Championships kicked off with a major Wii U announcement.
Pokkén Tournament has been announced for the Wii U, releasing in all territories in Spring 2016. The game is currently going through balance testing in Japanese arcades.
The announcement also confirmed that Pikachu Libre, a Fighting-typed form Pikachu featured in Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, will be playable in the Wii U game.
The game's trailer can be seen below:
But the Wii U isn't suppose to have anymore games announced. Nintendo only showed 3DS titles at E3 and outright said they'll never release another new Wii U title ever again. ::)
Once again, people expecting the Wii U to be replaced in 2016 might be in for some disappointment. If Nintendo was so desperate to replace the system with a new home console next year, Pokken could have been a pretty big launch title. The fact they have no problem still releasing it on the Wii U shows the system has more support coming in the future which anyone with half a brain should have known.

I find it odd that there's some enthusiasm for the Wii U experience to continue. Having only like five games a year because there's no third party support is just so awesome that you want to experience it for another year? The NX is hope for Nintendo to bounce back. If all goes well then the first year of the NX will be a better year for a Nintendo fan than one more year of the Wii U.
