    They finally revealed that new "special announcement" but to be honest, it's not all as exciting as you may hope:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Cs4L1JALY

    Whilst this looks REALLY cool, there's a few things to consider:

    1. It's an arcade game, not for the Wii U, 3DS or any other console.
    2. It's for arcades in Japan, not in America or elsewhere.

    They have hinted however that this may be a release outside of Arcades in the future, which would be cool. It still confuses me why they posted this on the AMERICAN Youtube channel when it's a Japan only game.

    It's just super annoying now that they announced THIS for us when it's a Japan thing. Why put it on the international channel when it's for Japan? I think it's fine that is for Japan only - it's nothing special and it may even come outside of Japan (huehue) but to put it on their channel is just...shocking. Why no more OR/AS news?

    Oh yay, yet another game I'll never be able to play. Way to go Nintendo, why not announce it only on the JP channel? Is bad enough there's already games I wanna play that I'll never be able to. :/

    So this was their big reveal? Something not everyone will be able to enjoy.

    I guess the only thing we can hope for is that they are planning to eventually give it an international release and that's why it's on their international channel because otherwise I don't see much point of it being there.

    I'm not a fan of Fighting games (apart from Smash) so I'm not too interested in this game, mainly because I'm so terrible at them. But maybe it will be available worldwide 2016?

    They must have some intentions of releasing it in the US if they posted it on the US YouTube channel. At least I hope lol. I suck at arcade joysticks so I doubt I'd be going out to play it, but maybe it will come to Wii U or 3DS, like how the new SSB game is going to be. If so it will be further down the line unfortunately. I'd still buy it though lol. Pokémon needs to branch out with different games like this.

    I somewhat forgot that people still play at arcades. Not even going to lie, but the graphics look really cool. It's a little funny why it's on the US channel but maybe it will be released later in the year after the Japanese release?

    Namco is helping with the game, and every game (including Tekken, which this is being compaired to) started on arcades.

    Trust me, its coming to consoles. In the announcement, he even said "Its going to arcades FIRST".

    How are so many people overlooking this?

    So, apparently in an interview, they said that mega evolution will be a major factor in this game. Do you guys think this might mean Mega Machamp is indirectly confirmed?

    I really hope this gets released elsewhere as it looks like a really fun game. That trailer had me pumped.
