Id just wait for NX. I'd all but guarantee you there will be an NX version of this.

This post is actually my first time hearing about NX. I'm not willing to wait though. I've been dreaming of a game like this since Pokemon first came out. Pokemon rumble was a fun substitute but this is the real mccoy from everything I've seen.

Although Pokkén Tournament represents a dream come true for folks eagerly awaiting a Pokémon fighting game, new specifications confirmed for the official controller make the dream a bit more awkward than is probably necessary.

According to its Nintendo UK store listing, the arcade-inspired peripheral won’t be available to the first player in multiplayer matches, who will instead have to make due with the unwieldy Wii U gamepad. This leads us to believe that, much like other games before it, Pokkén Tournament also won’t support the unique controller in single-player modes. It should be noted that the game’s LAN mode may do away with this necessity, but we’ll have to wait until Nintendo provides the final word.
