Pokken Tournament DX (Nintendo Switch)

I purchased this for my Pokemon fan son. Major Dad points with this. Of course I had to product test before Christmas and it is my favourite switch game so far. It has a lot of good Pokemon and it’s kind of like Pokemon go meets mortal combat. There’s a lot of gameplay, and a lot of features. There is hours of fun to be had here. Shadow mewtwo is the coolest Pokemon by far

Works perfectly 👌 My son loves this game. A+

Announced a few months back, the re-release of the Wii U Pokemon game has been ported to the Switch console with some extra improvements from the original. It should be noted that this is NOT a standard Pokemon game that you see on the handheld systems but a fighting style game. The premise is simple, you choose your fighter from a surprisingly impressive roaster, select a backup fighter who acts as a special attack and then fight against an opponent. You are in complete control of your fighters movements and attacks. It is not a turn based fight but more like a 3D Street Fighter. You can move around the area in complete 3D and attack from all angles. Each fighter has a weak but fast attack all the way up to slow but strong so timing your attacks is vital. There are combo inputs but nothing too complicated. The game uses the standard health system where each fighter as bar of health and when depleted, the round ends. First to two rounds wins. The fighting mechanics are impressive and the controls are tight but there is a floaty feel to the way the Pokemon move around the ring which does feel a little strange to start with. For me though the biggest let down about this game is that it is just fighting and nothing else. While that seems strange to say about a fighting game I do feel it could have greatly benefited from an Adventure mode of some kind or even a story mode like what MKX or Injustice had. You can fight on-line and while I did get a game pretty quick it wasn’t anything that special. Overall, this is a pretty good game and the presentation is excellent but it can become very stale very quickly. However, the on the go play the Switch brings does make it standout from the Wii U original. You can play two player off line, which is great fun and easily more enjoyable then the on-line. I for one hope to see more Pokemon games make their way to the Switch in the future as it is the perfect system for it but these kind of games seem more like filler then anything meaningful. The up coming sequel to Sun and Moon on 3Ds may have been a better choice for the Switch but they have their reasons for not doing so. I did miss out on this game the first time it released on Wii U and was looking forward to playing the Switch version. So is it worth buying? Well, I’d say yes but it is quite a shallow game overall and has very few things to do outside of fighting and it can’t compete in the same ring as the heavy weights of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Still, you will get at least a few hours of enjoyment from it and the on the go feature helps it. While I can understand that Nintendo are porting over their Wii U games which is not a bad thing, I think it would have more sense to port Super Smash Bros U first instead of this game.

Gift for daughter which she seems to like.

This is a great game for all ages and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes fighting games and anyone who loves Pokemon also I like how you can play with a friend on the same screen and have the choice to not have to play in split screen the only thing I think is bad is that there needs to be more Pokemon to choose from

As a fan of both Pokémon and fighting games I thought I would love this mash-up of the two. Too bad i was wrong. Too bad i didn't bother to read any reviews. The fighting mechanics are overly complex, the difficult to control switching between field mode and duel mode seemed completely unnecessary. Pick one and stick to it. The tutorial/guide last was so damn annoying. I've played it for half an hour & never want to see it again.

Brilliant game, has everything you need for a fighting game! If you love Tekken & Pokèmon then this is your game! Highly recommended!!!

I absolutely love it, thanks for that.

Pokemon adedi sebebiyle eğlenceli olmaz diye düşünüyordum ama ziyadesiyle eğlendiriyor. (Pokemon sevmeyen birisi için 3 yıldız düşünülebilir)

Me han dicho que va genial

Très bon jeu je recommande

Me llegó muy bien y el juego es bueno

Our grandson loved this game.
