Wasn't Tekken X Street Fighter supposed to come out at some point?

Nintendo's dilemma: We need big name releases that will move WiiU units.

Action Taken: Commissions an arcade only Pokemon fighting game.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Pure speculation here: Namco probably gets a larger cut of the arcade side plus short exclusivity while Nintendo reaps the profits from Wii U sales at a later date.

Nintendo will dump money into this but I can't have a new F-Zero. Okay.

Pokken is Dutch for smallpox, just putting that out there.

I actually thought the game would be a parody of Dokken.

So wait...rockin' with dokken while we have smallpox...wat? :lol:

Also wouldn't this make nintendo's first arcade venture in forever(unless I've missed something...which is likely)?

I honestly think it looks really cool (even though they'll never put in my favorite pokemon, but never mind that) and I would totally buy it.

But, arcade, japan only...

Hey Nintendo, let me throw some money at ya. Oh wait, you don't want it?

Here's hoping for a Wii U port. It only makes sense after all.
