While North America won’t be seeing Pokken Tournament in arcade form, the console version makes up for it by bundling in a slew of extra features and fighters, including the recently announced characters: Braixen and Garchomp.
Spring 2016 is shaping up to be a great time for Pokemon fans around the world. Keeping in mind that it is Pokemon’s 20th Anniversary, Nintendo is launching Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow via the Nintendo e-shop on February 27th along with digitally distributing a variety of rare Pokemon to Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.
