Nintendo's Pokken Tournament DX invitational tournament at E3 earlier this week served as a way to signpost the game's upcoming re-release on the Nintendo Switch. But instead of featuring a roster of Pokken pros, the E3 competition featured several popular YouTubers, as well as top fighting game players who specialise in other games. Allister Singh, the only pro Pokken Tournament player in the event, ended up carrying his team to victory.
Pokken Tournament will get its own World Championship Series in 2017. The announcement was made by the game's producer, Masaaki Hoshino, at the conclusion of the Tokaigi 2017 two-on-two Pokken tournament. A new patch was also revealed for the Japanese arcade version of the game.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Pokken Tournament fans just closed out a weeks-long, neck-and-neck donation competition over a primetime spot at the prestigious Evolution Championship Series tournament. It seems that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will make an appearance at EVO 2017, having raised over $US71,000 ($93,008) of the total $US150,000 ($196,495) for the Make-A-Wish foundation. But Marvel's victory didn't happen without its fair share of drama. Because Marvel has been an EVO mainstay for years, defending its slot made this year's wallet war a bitter one.
Magikarp isn't a fighter in Pokkén Tournament, but damn if it's not stealing the show anyway.
Nobody thought this would ever happen, I'm sure. But Chandelure, a Ghost/Fire Pokémon that attacks opponents' spirits, is joining Pokkén Tournament as a playable character. Bwah?
