    I've legitimately already talked about that by saying it only happens with big name fighters. This is from Tekken, so it's possible, but those big name fighters also always have a console release date way before the arcade release. Example? Tekken 7. The next Tekken. The exact next Tekken.

    There are LOTS of fighting games that come out exclusively to Japan and never make it over here. I could list one from every gen since gen 3, honestly.

    I've discussed the evidence that supports them localizing the game and I've discussed evidence them of them not in this thread through various bullet points. I get people people want it localized, but when wacky titles like this spur up and are revealed as an arcade game in Japan (a move both Namco and Nintendo have made before), you have to tread with caution here. I mean, a new Final Fantasy game was just announced around that time too. Almost everyone has come to America... guess where it's not coming? :/ Lost Planet has had every entry come to America... except the RPG spinoff on PS3- that stayed away. Like, saying "every entry has come over so this one will too" isn't evidence at all. Otherwise, Fatal Frame for Wii would've come over because they all had previously. I get this is a fighting game, but it's entirely possible Nintendo wanted a quarter eater to make money and that's it.

    Not releasing this internationally would be a horrendous mistake. This could be the extra push to get people to buy a Wii U or a selling point altogether. I would buy a Wii U for this alone.

    I'm glad there was a video in there for Suicune because my immediate first question upon reading the confirmed characters was HOW IN THE FUUUUUU

    But it seems like the project is coming along well. Still waiting for that confirmation of a western release in some form.

    I KNOW RIGHT

    I feel pretty confident that it'll come west in some form. When it was first announced, the international Pokémon sites acknowledged it, too. There are gonna be location tests at the end of this month/beginning of next month for the game in Japan (since y'know it's still just an arcade game rn), so I'd expect it'll be available around Japan by March at the latest, and then I expect it wouldn't take long to port or localize.

    Stuff like Captain Toad gives me hope they'll release it as a Wii U budget title.

    And while I still support past me's thesis on why it's too early to assume they'll release it in America, Captain Toad releasing for dirt cheap alongside Nintendo trying to make entries in niche genres all over to have a presence in multiple communities gives me hope.

    Frogadier and Eevee were revealed to be a third set of supports. Frogadier attacks the opponent with Water Pulse, and Eevee boosts your attack and heals you with Helping Hand.

    This game looks great and they have chosen a really good set of characters so far, I agree that not releasing this game internationally would be a huge mistake. Although I personally think it will release internationally , I just hope they don't turn it into another exclusive pokemon game like Pokemon mystery dungeon blazing, stormy and light adventure squad.

    New trailer featuring Pikachu Libre (who'll count as a different character since it has a different move-set than regular Pikachu):
