Whenever Nintendo announces anything, I have learned to go in expecting disappointment, cos that's what usually results.


I was pleasantly floored by the news. I really didn't expect anything, and got a bombshell.

That was a given tbh especially with the patents registered in the EU and US.

It's amazing how arcades are still popular in Japan. In America, they kind of faded away once consoles could offer arcade-quality graphics, which was in the mid 90s. I still miss arcades, and I wonder why Japanese gamers keep supporting them while we don't.


Dave and Busters have arcade games still.



Pokken looks like it used the same engine as Smash. Part of the deal for working on Smash? Is Sakurai going to license thee engine? That might be a good look for the future

It uses the Tekken engine. It's not even a little bit similar to Smash.



Oh. Looking at the pics, looked like same models from Smash. My bad

Looking again, watching the video, that does not look like tekken... it looks like a blend of both... not completely backing off my stance.

It doesn't look anything like Smash. And it's not just Tekken. It has Soul Calibur influences.



It does look like Smash tho... the colors, models and backgrounds all look taken from Smash. The collision, hit boxes, and combo style are closer to Kid Icarus: Uprising than anything Namco... I am undecided.
