Classic Sonic hitting 3DS eShop
When you're talking gaming classics, there are few titles that actually manage to live up to that word.

“Pokken Fighters” is Concept of Pokemon Future
At a Japanese event not too long ago, there was a video showing the history of the Pokemon franchise. It was a fairly well made video, but probably wouldn't have have mattered nearly as much if not for a short two or three second clip at the end, which showed an almost fighter-like set-up starring Lucario.
