It said coming to Arcade 2015, no mention of Wii U.

Everyone thought it was for Wii U, but nope, Arcade and most likely Japan-only. Hopefully it makes it's way to Wii U at some point for those that want it, to me, it just looks like a Tekken reskin which I have no interest in. Combomon :dread:

Most fighting games start on Arcade in Japan. It's the best way for play testing.

Being a fan of fighting games and Pokemon, that trailer looked awful... for some reason it does not interest me at all.

They literally all do

The only Japan developed ones I can think of that didn't are SFxT and MVC3

So if the Tekken team are working on this, parts of Smash Bros and also Tekken 7 where does that leave Tekken x StreetFighter?

The Tekken engine was an interesting choice - I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced, but I think it could be good so long as the requisite effort is put in to developing a good cast of fighters. Let's hope Namco don't phone this one in!

Looks very uninspired... And I say that as a huge Pokemon fan.

Given that Capcom is currently trying to sue Koei Tecmo, I think they might be circling the drain.

I've never gotten on with Tekken so this leaves me cold.

If it had been built around Soul Calibur then I'd have been intrigued. As it is we'll see how it goes.

Would be weird to see this turn up at EVO at some point in the future. :D
