The preview featured Lucario (Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario) fighting a Machamp. It was also confirmed that this was the game previewed at the end of the Pokémon Game Show, meaning that Blaziken will also appear in the game.

The English Pokémon site also mentioned the announcement, and uploaded a trailer to their YouTube account for the game. The trailer mentions that it is only coming to arcades in Japan.

Bandai Namco Games, the game's developer, is currently asking for fighter suggestions. Japanese residents can Tweet at @pokken_official with the Pokémon they would like to see using the hashtag #ポッ拳 in order to make a suggestion.
