I just had an interesting thought, what if this game is coming to wii-u a lot sooner than we think(like this year)? Know why that might be possible? What if the arcade version is using a Wii-u motherboard for the cabinent? that would also explain the controller, and it wouldn't be the first time this thing happened(Sega did it all the time with both the Saturn and Dreamcast, and a more recent example would be Capcom's Tatsunko Vs Capcom, which used a wii based cabinent).
What this would mean is that the actual gameplay part, in regards to balancing and content would be complete at the same time as the arcade version(which will likely be mid-summer), add in a month or two of balancing data and we would be in for a fall winter release. A Majority of the ingame text(like most fighters) is already in English, which means quicker localization, and any additional features for a home version(bonus modes, customization, exclusive characters, etc) would already be in development by respective teams, and during a shortened arcade balancing period(because additional balancing via patch is quick and easy)
It's just a thought, but if it is whats happening, the game could easily be out this year with a far shorter turnabout period than most Japanese fighting games(and Nintendo could really use another heavy hitter this year)
So, on another tangent, what do you guys think about the possibility of us getting a Legendary from every Generation, and which ones(that aren't already announced) would you want?(don't be afraid to do pictures, I'm not a pokemon person) Also, on the home version, what if we got a bonus Nintendo character like DK or Yoshi? Also, while Eevee is like a support pokemon, which type do you guys think is most likely(or want) as playable?
