Pokkén Tournament (Ver. 1.3)

Today, a brand new update for Pokkén Tournament was announced. It will be released next week (on June 15th), and will bring the game to Ver. 1.3. There will not be any new features, but instead, the game will receive quite a lot of balance fixes.

Here’s the changelog:

balance fixes for Battle Pokémon (Lucario, Pikachu, Machamp, Gardevoir, Weavile, Suicune, Charizard, Gengar, Blaziken, Pikachu Libre, Sceptile, Chandelure, Braixen, Garchomp, Mewtwo, and Shadow Mewtwo)
balance fixes for Support Pokémon (Snivy, Croagunk, Magneton, Quagsire, Diglett, Yveltal, Latios, and Cresselia).

You can find the details about the balance fixes on this page!

To download this update (which will be required to play online), you will have two options:

let the Wii U do its things if you have automatic downloads activated. You should have the latest version of Pokkén Tournament the next time you launch the game;
if not, you can launch Pokkén Tournament from the Home Menu of the Wii U (not the Quick Start Menu), in order to trigger the download manually.

To check that you have the latest version of the game, simply launch the game: you should see “Ver. 1.3” at the top left corner of the screen.
