Just how well did this arcade fighter port to Wii U?
Pokken week is here! And what better way to kick it off than to review it? Does it pass our qualifying test?

Recently I got the opportunity to go to a Pokémon Go meet-up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and let me tell you: it was an absolute blast!
What started out as a Facebook event for a few friends quickly got shared by an astounding amount of people and turned into thousands. The creator of the event had intended it to be 25-30, but the end result was 5,300 going and 7,500 interested. I would easily estimate 6,000 people ended up attending, if not more.
The corner pictured above was standing room only, and was quite a scene to behold. Teams wore clothing and glow-sticks to match their team color and every once in a while trainers would chant their team names.
The best way I can describe it was civilized mayhem. It was awesome.
Everyone was in on Pokémon Go that night. All the local news outlets were there, people made t-shirts and stickers to sell, even the local businesses (if they were smart) were getting in on the action with discounts for hungry or thirsty trainers. Both businesses and trainers were turning almost every Pokéstop into a lure. Everywhere you went Pokémon were popping up constantly. Luckily there are plenty of spots to refill all those Pokéballs you were bound to throw.
The sense of community this game brought out in everyone was a really great thing to behold as well. If a rare Pokémon had spawned, someone would always yell it out so others could join in. I was lucky enough to do it once for a Dratini that had spawned by a bridge, and boy did they come running.
If you have a Pokémon Go meet-up near you I highly recommend you check it out. Plus, the more people playing in a given area, the more chance for a rare Pokémon to spawn! I’m more of an introverted person with people I don’t know, but I had a lot of fun talking to fellow trainers I had only just met. This night will easily be going into my (non-existent) gaming scrapbook.
Haven’t tried Pokémon Go yet? Click here to see Scott and Simeon’s thoughts on the game.
Scott really needs to finish Metroid Fusion.
They may not be the main protagonist or your sworn enemy, but our games wouldn’t be the same without them. It’s TBC’s most memorable NPCs!

Let’s talk about the giraffe in the room.
Just when you think the Pokemon Team has ran out of creative ideas – they hit us with Gen 1 Alola forms! Is giraffe Exeggutor the craziest of the bunch? What’s up with Psychic Raichu? Gotta discuss ’em all!

Can we please just have amiibo chips in everything?
Can you ever have too many amiibo? NO! Especially if they are very unique, like the ones we are officially requesting Nintendo to produce. We will preorder promptly when they are announced!

Depper. Large. These are the words you must put in the title of your game if you want it to be a success in Japan.
Some games get the honor of singing the sweet swan song for their console as it passes into history. We’ve found each game that Nintendo and 3rd parties published last for every console – enjoy!

This is probably our last time trying this game. We did way better our past two attempts!
We thought we were better at this game. It’s where you hum the tune to a Nintendo or 3rd-party game and try to get your buddy to guess the game. Well, we didn’t do so hot this time around but it might be even more entertaining to our viewers this way!

Ironically, some of the best Nintendo games were made by outside developers.
First party, that’s Nintendo. Third party, that’s everyone else – right? WRONG. There’s an inbetween status that developers can achieve by meeting certain requirements and penning certain deals with the hardware publisher. Tune in as Scott and Simeon investigate the topic, as well as discuss each and every major 2nd party that Nintendo has enlisted.

Tickets to NY, please? This is somewhere we can conceivably hit up before our flight to Japan for Super Nintendo World…
It sounds like a dream: an entire multi-level store dedicated to our favorite brand, Nintendo. But it’s not a dream – it used to be the Pokemon Center, then it was Nintendo World, and now it’s Nintendo NY. And in case you were wondering, it’s based in New York. This magical retailer is run by Nintendo staff, and is decorated to the nines in Nintendo themed goodness! Baby teethers? Check. Games playable before they are released? Check. Guest appearances from famous Nintendo staff? Check. We need to visit this place.
