New Fighters Confirmed For Pokkén Tournament




by Jake Doolin

It's been a few months since we last heard anything about the upcoming Pokemon arcade fighter, Pokkén Tournament, but today Bandai Namco hosted a live stream which revealed a bit more about the game's roster. Joining the already revealed Lucario and Machamp are Pikachu, Suicune, Blaziken, and Gardevoir.



Assist characters were also confirmed, but not shown, and they include Snivy, Emolga, Lapras and Fennekin. Also shown off were the new special and mega-evolution moves that the character can pull off by charging their "Resonance Gauge". Bandai Namco also showed off the character selection screen which shows that their are nine slots yet to fill as of now.


No console or North American release date was confirmed for the game, as many speculated, but Japanese players can expect to see the game in arcades sometime in late 2015.
