Which arcade fighting game was later released worldwide on Wii U in 2016?

The arcade fighting game later released worldwide on Wii U in 2016 was Pokkén Tournament.

Developed through a collaboration involving Bandai Namco and The Pokémon Company, Pokkén Tournament combines Pokémon characters with real-time arena combat inspired partly by fighting games such as Tekken. Unlike the main Pokémon role-playing games, battles are action-based rather than turn-based.

The game first appeared in Japanese arcades in July 2015. Its Wii U version launched internationally in March 2016, including a March 18 release in Europe and North America. The console edition added features suited to home play, including local multiplayer and support for the Wii U GamePad.

Pokkén Tournament is easy to confuse with Pokémon Rumble because both use action combat, but Pokémon Rumble is primarily a beat-’em-up adventure. Pokémon Unite is a team-based multiplayer online battle arena, while Pokémon Masters EX is a mobile role-playing game.
