If it's ur first time playing pokken, all these new features will make a great game for you, at least what the gameplay has shown.

Even though I consider myself a pretty big Pokemon fan – I've played every mainline game since Red and Blue and to this day can still sing the PokeRap (it's like riding a bike, honestly) – Pokken Tournament evaded me when it was originally launched on the Wii U.

An excellent Pokemon fighting game; What more do you need, Offers a varied roster of Pokemon from most generations, Stands out in a sea of fighting games with Phase Shifts and Support Pokemon

Only one truly new Pokemon; Decidueye; added to the roster; Voice acting is disappointing; Daily challenges are a poor replacement for a dedicated challenge mode

Pokémon liberated

A great spectacle; Easy to pick up and play

Overly complicated; No attention to detail; A severe lack of fighters

When Pokkén Tournament originally launched for the Wii U it arguably didn't attract the wide audience it deserved. The surprisingly challenging yet approachable fighter combined the best qualities of turn-based Pocket Monster outings with the combos and brutal precision of something more akin to...

Plenty of fighters and stages to choose from; Brilliantly presented and runs great on Switch; Local multiplayer is a chaotic blast; Plenty of ways to customise your trainer

Single player campaign is far too simplistic; Lacking in truly compelling modes

Nintendo are keeping the momentum going with the Switch by smartly mixing up the release schedule with brand new games and enhanced ports of existing Wii U or indie titles to sustain a great catalogue.

The unholy lovechild of Tekken and Pokémon , Pokkén Tournament caused quite a stir when it was first announced, yet Bandai Namco's one-on-one fighter exceeded expectations when it eventually arrived on the Wii U last year following a successful run in arcades.

We reviewed Pokkén Tournament back on the Wii U and found it to be a reasonably good entry point fighter. With no need for stories or adventures, the game goes straight for one-on-one battles.

When it was released during the Wii U twilight year of 2016, Pokken Tournament was the fighting game nobody expected; Matt's review of the game was a positive one, with some criticisms aimed at the roster selection and leveling mechanics.

New characters and content add variety and depth to the existing roster; Accessible gameplay options for single and multiplayer; Game has updated visuals and runs smoothly in most modes

Story mode is still a bit weak; Split-screen multiplayer performs worse than usual

For years, we've always wondered what it is like to see Pokémon battles that rival the action and intensity of the TV show. I mean sure, the games have evolved and battles look more entertaining and flow faster, but it's still a turn-based affair.

Pokkén Tournament DX serves as a definitive edition of Nintendo's fighting game, and it fits well on the Switch aside from choppy split-screen multiplayer. Five new characters and a new three-on-three mode are noteworthy additions, though the new challenge mode doesn't live up to its name.
