Pokken Tournament DX Reviews
Taken on its own merits this is comfortably one of the the best fighting games on the Switch right now, and offers surprising depth, stunning presentation, brilliant offline and online multiplayer modes and bags of replayability.
If you are a Wii U veteran of the series, there may not be enough here to warrant a second purchase, but diehard Pokken fans will want to check it out. Pokken Tournament DX is another fantastic Switch release and a game that fighting fans will want to check out.
Pokkén Tournament DX is an enjoyable fighter that provides plenty of fan-service for hardcore and casual fans of the beloved franchise. It's also a surprisingly deep experience, now equipped with more fighters and stages than ever before on Nintendo Switch.
Pokken Tournament DX brings the popular Pokemon/Tekken mashup to the Switch with new fighters and support characters, making this a true deluxe version of the hit fighting game.
Pokken Tournament DX builds on the solid gameplay of the original while adding new fighters, modes, and challenges. Folks who already have the Wii version and aren't interested in the new characters can stay put with the game they already have. If you're a big fan of the series who wants to try out the new Pokemon and also play the game on the go on your Switch or never had a chance to play it on the Wii U, however, this is one evolution that you'll want to choose.
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.
Pokkén Tournament DX is the definitive edition of one of the best fighting games in 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.

The Deluxe version of Pokémon Tekken convinces with new Pokémon and multiplayer modes, the Solo mode however is still missing variety.

Pokkén Tournament DX is a bit odd, because although I can't help but sing its praises, not much here is new, and I don't actually know who was asking for a resurgence. Still though, the Pokémon fighter is loads of fun and still looks like a great spectacle in motion - the supers just look fantastic. But if you're looking to play this by yourself, you're likely to be very disappointed.
Pokken Tournament DX definitely deserves attention. Strange choice of available pokemons, lack of clarity of the picture in TV-mode and forgettable music, of course, disappointed, but deep gameplay mechanics along with a beautiful special attacks can quite quickly grab you and make you return to the game again and again.

The story is a bit dull, featuring a "mysterious Pokemon" that really isn't that mysterious, even to casual fans like myself
Pokken Tournament is a game that deserved a second chance. A Pokémon fighting game is still one of the best concepts out there. I wish it was more fleshed out, and perhaps a sequel will do just that, but DX marks yet another solid first-party title to add to the Switch's already stellar year one of games.
The first-ever Pokemon fighting game hits the Nintendo Switch following its initial debut on Wii U, expanding upon the experience and delivering a rather worthwhile fight title.
Pokken Tournament Deluxe is a knockout fighting game that's perfect for the Switch. With new characters, revamped game modes, and the ability to take the game anywhere, this is one Pokémon game you should fight for this fall.
Pokken Tournament DX is the definitive release of Bandai Namco's Pokemon fighter. With more characters, modes, and other features, it enhances and improves on the original in a few key areas. However, it's not a complete overhaul at all, so those who never enjoyed the fighting mechanics will still want to stay away. If you're looking for a solid fighting game on Nintendo Switch though, you can't go wrong here.
Pokken is a fighting game that while decent could do with understanding that complexity doesn't necessarily equal depth.
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.

A funny and approachable fighting game that uses perfectly Nintendo Switch portability. Perfect for local or online multiplayer matches, it features great technical improvements over its Wii U version, but lacks of interesting content when it comes to single player modes. The Deluxe version can be considered the definitive edition of Pokkén Tournament.
