‘Pokken Tournament’ Wii U Controller Coming To The West; Works Only With Game!
The "Pokken Tournament" Wii U controller, which is first thought to be sold only in Japan will be coming to the West, according to Destructoid.
In Japan, the controller will be part of the "Pokken Tournament" Wii U bundle. It can also be purchased separately. For now, there is no news that the Wii U bundle will be coming to other regions of the world outside of Japan. The game has been in Japanese arcades for a while now since July and has become very popular with "Pokemon" enthusiasts.
Amazon has put up a page on the official "Pokken Tournament" Wii U controller on its online webstore today, according to Hardcore Gamer. This Wii U accessory will have a price tag of $25, which is particularly a good price for a controller. This is specially designed to bring fans and Wii U owners comfort and replicate the arcade experience.
There is a product image already for the controller on the site currently, according to IGN. Amazon has a price tag for the game and it also has a release date which is on March 16. The customized official Wii U controller is open for preorder right now.
The controller is produced by Hori and it is officially licensed by Nintendo and Pokemon, according to sources. Game sites warn "Pokemon fans" and Wii U owners to be wary of imitators since a lot of those have been in the market lately.
In addition, the controller is said to only properly function for the "Pokken Tournament" game only. The Amazon description reads that it will not function on some other Wii U games as of the moment. It might function on some other Wii U games, but not all features will be available.
For those who will preorder the "Pokken Tournament" Wii U controller from Amazon or will purchase it on game launch will get a card to unlock Shadow Mewtwo. The card will work in the same way as "Animal Crossing" cards.
