Pokémon Fighting Game Pokken Tournament Is Coming To Wii U

[wshowers]

Pokken Tournament, previously only available on arcades in Japan, is coming west for Wii U.

The Pokémon Company announced the news today at the Pokémon World Championships in Boston, assuring fans that the fighting game will get a worldwide release on Wii U this spring. Like the arcade version, this will be developed by Tekken publisher Bandai Namco and it will star a cast of Pokémon brawling and beating on one another, fighter-style.

Not even a big Pokemon fan, but I've always liked this concept.

Is there any cross platform play with the 3ds Pokemon games like the old tournaments or is this completely stand alone?

I think this is completely stand alone.

Isn't that Pokemon Snap?

I'd like to see Pokémon Snap brought back as a big persistent open-world safari MMO, but the rare Pokémon would really be very rare, and dangerous Pokémon would be a threat to the player, to the point where a companion app would send out push notifications to players around the world when someone brought back a picture of a certain Pokémon.
