Katsuhiro Harada, the director behind the Tekken series, was asked by a fan on Twitter if he thought Bandai Namco would ever make a sequel to Pokken Tournament, the fighting game set in the Pokemon universe. And while he’s down, it’s not his decision.One game that deserves some more love is the Bandai Namco-developed Switch, Wii U and arcade title, Pokkén Tournament.We’re happy to announce that Pokken Tournament DX has been added as a special event at NEC2021 It will also have a 1000 pot bonus provided by members of the communityPokemon is making its way to Nintendo Switch later this year with Pokken Tournament DX. Including all the content from both the Wii U and arcade versions of Pokken Tournament, Pokken Tournament DX introduces an array of exciting new features to create the ultimate Pokken experience Box Contains.
But believe me, very few things would make me as happy as a Pokken 2. Pokken Tournament DX was originally released on the Nintendo Switch exclusively.It was well-received on all three occasions but since then fans of this unique fighter have been wondering if there’ll be any future follow-ups. A Twitter follower of Katsuhiro Harada (the director of Tekken 7 and a producer on Pokkén) asked the industry icon if he would be open to returning for follow-up.Pokken Tournament is a fighting game that pits Pokemon against each other. This fast paced nature of fighting is something many Pokemon fans have wanted for years.

Hopefully, a Pokkén follow up is possible, be it on the Switch or another system down the line. The decision is ultimately up to them, but knowing Harada-san would be on board is encouraging to hear.With New Pokémon Snap on the way, it’s clear TPCI and Nintendo trust Bandai Namco with Pikachu and his friends. When asked if Pokkén was a one time only game, he cited the strong relationship Bandai Namco has with Nintendo and the Pokémon Company. As his Twitter bio states, he’s worked on Tekken for the past 26 years, regularly attending events and communicating with fans the world over.One such interaction over the weekend will certainly be interesting to Nintendo fans, as Harada-san “would like to make” a sequel/follow up to Pokkén Tournament.We have a good relationship with Nintendo and Pokemon Co., Ltd., and POKKÉN has had a great response, so I would like to make it again.But it's not what we decide, it's what they decide. Katsuhiro Harada needs no introduction with respect to fighting games.
