It will come everywhere. It's Pokemon, it will sell well enough to guarantee a bundle.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

Perhaps I should clarify; Pokken will sell nowhere near as much as MK8 or Splatoon.
I meant it merely in terms of its placement as an end-of-May game. It's listed as "Spring", so Nintendo being Nintendo will put it on pretty much the last day of Spring.


isn't it in the OP that its coming in March? March 16th?

 Consumers in Japan who are interested in purchasing the console and the upcoming fighting game will be able to buy them both as part of a single package when it arrives in the region on March 18.

The OP says it arrives march 18, not sure how true it is but this is what I got from it.

Edit: I know its not much of a source but even wikipedia has it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_U_software

I agree. Pokken will be next year's MK8/Splatoon. I believe its guaranteed to be successful just because it has Pokemons in it. To what degree? We'll see.

I'm not trying to stir the pot, but that would mean something small in February, followed by Twilight Princess, then Star Fox, and later Pokken... Followed by a random game in September.

yeah it was confirmed during the Japanese direct it's coming out in March in Japan.

The question is, do they do a simultaneous launch?  I could see them not doing that for two reasons.  One, it would be directly competing with Twilight Princess HD.  They would rather not have that. Two, they would then have nothing in their usual May slot.  Now that could change, maybe with Genei Ibun Roku #FE or some other game.  But right now that slot would be empty.  So I could see them waiting and launching Pokken in early to mid May.  That way they have March, April, and May covered with the high profile release of Twilight Princess HD, Star Fox Zero, and Pokken respectively.

This is releasing at the end of this year, december 26th with a bundle. We have no idea what games will launch after star fox. Q1 for nintendo 2016 is pretty loaded.
