No doubt that these pushes will help with initial sales of the game, what I'm curious about is if the community and support for Pokken will last a good while.

 

Good thing is pokemon fanbase is 10mil+ strong, even 10% would be enough especially for a fighting game. TBH i didn't expect this kind of push cuz its still a spin off (unlike mario, pokemon doesn't do well sales wise).

This could be the exception. You should see the salt for evo thread at neogaf xD (pokken already hated on)

I hope it does well if only to show that there's still a large audience for fighting games on Nintendo consoles (though I question the decision to use Pokemon for this spinoff on a struggling Nintendo console since the Pokemon audience is on Nintendo handhelds).  Also, I'm not surprised about the neogaf reaction since they have an obvious bias against Nintendo and an obvious bias for Sony there.  People don't call the place 'sonygaf' for nothing.

Excuse me? Nintendo owns the biggest fighting franchise in gaming, Super Smash Bros.
