Pokkén Tournament’s competitive future being threatened by lack of patches

The original arcade version of Pokkén Tournament has received a number of significant updates since it debuted back in July 2015. However, the same can’t be said for the Wii U version of the fighting title. The lack of patches are potentially harming the game’s competitive future, according to Kotaku writer Ian Walker. “Additional characters like Darkrai, Scizor, and Empoleon were regularly added to the arcade release, available primarily in Japan, starting in July,” Walker explains. “The Pokémon Company provided zero word on similar updates for Wii U despite data for these characters having previously been spotted in the console versionby fans datamining the game. Furthermore, these new playable Pokémon were accompanied by balance changes that significantly altered how Pokkén Tournament played.” To read the rest of this feature, click here.
