If you want to play Pokken Tournament on your Wii U, while remaining pure to the arcade control scheme, you're in luck. The specialized Pokken Tournament controller from HORI will be available in the west.

While there's no product image for the controller on the site currently, Amazon has it listed for a March 16 release and you can pre-order it now for just $25.

In Japan, the controller will be part of the Pokken Tournament Wii U bundle, as well as being available separately. There's no news on whether or not the Wii U bundle will come to regions outside of Japan. Pokken Tournament has been in arcades there since July, but the game will see simultaneous worldwide release on the Wii U on March 16.

The controller won't work with any other games, and it's not wireless. It plugs into one of the USB ports, so if you're really serious about replicating the Pokken Tournament arcade experience, you need to know you're buying a controller with a singular, Pokemon-themed purpose.

Anyone who picks up the game at launch will get a card to unlock Shadow Mewtwo. The card will work in the same way as the Animal Crossing cards, using the NFC tech found in amiibo.
