Pokken Tournament Wii U Release Date Revealed

I choose you to fight!

If you’ve been wanting to play a fighting game with Pokemon in it, Pokken Tournament is definitely for you. If you’re someone not big on fighting games, it’s perfect for you, since it’ll focus more on action than it will the technical aspect. Thankfully, it’ll also give each player a full screen. Today, Nintendo has revealed that the Tekken-style fighter will be coming to the Wii U worldwide on March 18th.
