There have been rumors circulating about a Pokémon fighting game called Pokkén Fighters for quite some time and now Nintendo has announced that they are teaming with Bandai Namco to create a game called Pokkén Tournament which will be released in arcades in Japan.
The game will be led by Katsushiro Harada, the man behind the Tekken series, and Masaaki Hoshino, the main programmer from the Soulcalibur series. Currently no plans for an international arcade release or a Wii U/Nintendo 3DS version were revealed but a gameplay trailer showing off Lucario and Machamp fighting was released and can be found below.
