Pokémon news (July 7th) – Pokkén Tournament documentary; videos for the latest movie

Pokkén Tournament

Today, NHK World (an international channel from the NHK) broadcast a documentary about Pokkén Tournament during its Imagine-nation segment. Obviously, it doesn’t include any announcements, but if you’re looking to learn more about how the game came about, you should definitely watch it. It includes interviews of Tsunekazu Ishihara (from The Pokémon Company), Katsuiro Harada (Producer of the Tekken series) and even Masaaki Hoshino (from Bandai-Namco).

The documentary also looks at the game itself, including the various gameplay elements (such as the Burst attacks for example), characters creation, and much more. It even includes a gameplay demonstration at the very end.

You can find the documentary on the website of NHK World (until July 14th).
