Pokkén Tournament

According to Japanese retailer listing, spotted by Serebii, the arcade stick revealed by Hori a few days ago is said to be compatible with Pokkén Tournament. The thing is, Pokkén Tournament is yet to be announced for the Nintendo Switch, so this listing (which has been edited) is certainly intriguing.

One thing’s for sure: if Pokkén Tournament is to be announced for the Nintendo Switch, we most likely have only a few weeks left to wait before getting that announcement.
