@WiltonRoots That's a good question, but I thought the only limitations were in graphics which switch should be able to handle when docked. I didn't think there was any gimping of actual gameplay, though it's a game I hadn't followed too closely as I was neck deep in Splatoon at the time It's possible it's just a WiiU port, then, since they didn't promote the arcade aspect, but then, it's TPC, not Capcom. I'm surprised they handled the announcement at all since it's really more of a Bamco game.

Yeah, I don't get the disappointment on it. It's not that I wasn't secretly hoping for Stars to be real, I sure was, but it's just a matter of knowing the company history. They NEVER put mainline pokemon games on consoles less than a year old, and have always cited that they seek the largest install base. The fact that Pokemon is usually sold cheaper than other games is reflective of the tremendous sellthrough affording them to do that. I WISHED it would be true, but it's just a given that Pokemon arrives after a year or more of platform growth. To me it's a huge signal of the future though that they held a direct to open with an image of the Switch which is what the real take-away here. TPC Acknowledges Switch as the new hotness. That's the future, so in a way we got what we wanted. Sort of a low key promise that Pokemon is coming to Switch whenever they're done milking 3DS, here's Pokken while you wait.

Somehow Switch seems like it's becoming the official home of fighting games. Makes sense in the sense that Switch stands to disrupt arcades more than any console before with it's mobile local multiplayer. I've mixed feelings on that since I've never been a fighter fan. OTOH it's turning me into one I suppose the MK/Tekken/VF, etc type games will remain out of sight though.
