    Pokkén Tournament DX is a thoroughly enjoyable experience that undoubtedly deserves your time. The game impressed on every level; the core fighting gameplay is superb and incredibly extensive, the customisation options are truly staggering, and the attention to detail is abundantly clear. Not entirely faultless, but very close to it, this game is the Switch's next must-buy.

    Yes, Pokkén Tournament DX is essentially exactly the same game as the one on the Wii U that came out one and a half years ago. But the five new characters, the new modes and the mobility of the Switch make this a worthy port, not in the least because the fighting system is simply very cool.

    Pokkén Tournament DX is the definitive edition of one of the best fighting games on Nintendo consoles. This port takes advantage of Nintendo Switch's hardware which lets us play on the go and share the experience with anyone. A must have if you didn't own the Wii U version.

    Pokkén Tournament DX builds on the original game and improves it in a way that is not revolutionary but gives enough reasons to feature on a good Nintendo Switch collection. Thanks to its simple combat system, an improved visual performance and online multiplayer, Pokkén Tournament DX is the ultimate form of this fighting game that throws Pokémon against each other.

    Pokkén Tournament DX is definitely the ultimate edition, but that does not mean that we don't see its lack of contents and does not justify a new purchase for those users of the game on Wii U.

    Pokkén Tournament DX may only provide a few benefits for returning fans, but the improved local multiplayer and expanded roster may be enough to draw back the old crowd. Overly simple AI and easy Challenges make the game’s single-player mode a breeze, but new players may find that simply playing with their favorite Pokémon is enough to enjoy the fight.

    Pokken is a fighting game that while decent could do with understanding that complexity doesn’t necessarily equal depth.

The gameplay is still fun and fast paced and the new characters - Decidueye, Empoleon, Darkrai, Scizor ans Croagunk - are a joy to use. Online battles are usually found in seconds so I often find myself falling for the "just one more match" syndrome. Unfortunately they didnt add any relevant single player content (and the original one is pretty much complete garbage) so I have to slash a couple of points.… Expand

    It's not a bad game by any means. it just has a very shallow cast of fighters. it's a good port but it's not worth full price if you ask me.It's not a bad game by any means. it just has a very shallow cast of fighters. it's a good port but it's not worth full price if you ask me. love my boi scpetile though… Expand

    Worst game I've ever played. I don't recommended this game to anyone, go playing on PC with an emulator and you understand why.
