Pokkén Tournament is coming to the Wii U this March

Nintendo announced that Pokkén Tournament will hit the Wii U on March 18, 2016.

I didn’t really think I wanted another fighting game for the Wii U after Super Smash Bros.released, but here I am looking forward to Pokkén Tournament. This title mashes Pokémon with a unique take on Tekken mechanics.

Currently, Pokkén Tournament is eating up Yen in Japanese arcades. It’s been known for a long time that it would hit home consoles, and today’s news from Nintendo simply puts a solid launch date on the title.

The game will sell for $59.99 of course, but Nintendo also announced an amiibo card system for the game.

People that buy the first production run version of the game will also receive a special Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card, which can be tapped to the Wii U GamePad controller to unlock the Shadow Mewtwo playable character in the game.

Shadow Mewtwo? Shadow Mewtwo.

Will you be picking up Pokkén Tournament?

China's Baidu may look to invest in Zomato, BookMyShow and BigBasket

Baidu Inc is in talks to invest in Indian e-commerce start-ups including  Zomato, BookMyShow and BigBasket, a spokesman for China's top online search provider said on Wednesday.

"The Indian market represents an enormous opportunity for us to connect more people with services, and we plan to put more resources there in the future," the spokesman told Reuters by email.

Baidu declined to comment on possible investment amounts or time frames.

India's technology start-up market is booming as more and more people shop online, in a country where about 20 percent of a population of 1.3 billion are connected to the Internet.

The e-commerce market could grow in terms of the value of goods sold to $220 billion by 2025 from $11 billion in 2015, Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimated.

That growth potential has attracted investment from global technology giants such as China's Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and Japan's SoftBank Group Corp.

Zomato is India's leading restaurant search provider, while BookMyShow is the country's top online seller of movies and events tickets. BigBasket is an online grocer.

Zomato and BigBasket did not immediately reply to emails seeking comment. BookMyShow could not be immediately reached for comment.
