Pokken Confirmed In The Works As Nintendo Looks To Develop The Pokemon And Tekken Crossover Game Soon

Japanese video game developer that currently create games mainly for Nintendo, Game Freak Inc; is renowned within the video game industry for developing the Pokemon series of role-playing video games. With almost two decades worth of titles, Pokemon still remains one of the most popular handheld titles in the market.

Game Freak, originally a self-published official gaming magazine created by Satoshi Tajiri, and Ken Sugimori in the 1980s, told Japanese publication 4Gamer that they are readying the announcement of their next game. The company is very excited about their next project and hope it will be well-liked by the fans.

One of the senior programmers of Game Freak, Tetsuya Watanabe said, "We're doing a lot of different things with respect to our next project, so right now we're focusing on getting ready to announce it. We sincerely hope from the bottom of our hearts that it'll be worth checking out once we get to that point."

Its worth noticing that every Pokemon release, whether brand new title or an upgraded re-release is a major events for its fan base. The first Pokemon game, 'Pokemon Red and Blue' was released in 1996 in Japan and later in 1998 in North America. The well-received, 'Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire' was released November 21, 2014.

Pokemon and Tekken hybrid fighting game, 'Pokken Tournament' is the new game from Game Freak that is coming soon. It has already been announced for next year.

Although Watanabe did not share much at the moment, he did suggest an official game reveal is forthcoming. He even pointed out that Game Freak's next project will attempt to vary from past approaches in some major ways, mainly in how it fits in with modern game structure. Nevertheless, a possibility that Game Freak's new game might not even be a new Pokemon title can't be ruled out. We might perhaps see something completely new like the return of 'Pulseman,' a platformer for the Sega Mega Drive in 1994 which Game Freak developed before Pokemon.

Irrespective of what the Game Freak new game might be, fans are ready for the announcement.
