Nintendo has been doing well with cross-over games from other publishers, with games like Hyrule Warriors doing extremely well on the Wii U. The Japanese arcade scene is about to get the same treatment with Pokken Tournament, a Tekken-style fighter featuring various Pokemon and their abilities. The game is releasing in Japan this July and while it hasn’t been announced for home consoles, Nintendo would be crazy not to attempt to bring this to North America or Europe.

Given how popular Pokemon and fighting games are, it would be silly for Nintendo to keep this as a domestic product. What do you think? Are you hoping we’ll see Pokken Tournament at least on the Wii U?
