There is a lot about the game that we can only see when it comes out, but there are still a number of game modes and other features that have already been confirmed.  There could be more revealed later, but with the Hype Train arriving at its destination soon, now is a good time to review what we currently know.

Read below the break for details!

Pokkén Tournament is due this Spring and looks set to be a key Wii U release for the first half of the year. When you combine Pokémon with the first fighting game of its style on the system since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 – or so it seems – you have the potential ingredients for a success story.

Let’s break down the modes and information that have come out:

• Single Battle – A typical single player mode with three difficulty settings.
• Local Battle – Two players against each other, one on the GamePad – this will run at 30fps instead of the game’s norm of 60fps.
• Online Friendly Matches – Play against anyone, those on your Friends List or by using a ‘Battle Code’; these are unranked fights.
• Online Ranked Matches – Earn ranking points in online matches
• LAN Support – Link two Wii U’s for a 60fps local match.
