If you've already played Pokken Tournament on Wii U (or in a Japanese arcade) then you know exactly what you're getting here. Taking the Pokemon franchise and turning the combat realtime,Pokken Tournament DX Game Review Articles Pokken Tournament DX once again has players teaming up with a Pokemon to fight other Pokemon in a 2D/3D arena. Fights start out in 3D, with fighters moving all around the stage. Once a heavy blow is dealt though it switches into 2D, with every combatant hoping to land the strong attack that will send their opponent flying.

Adding to this are the assist characters, two Pokemon that will help you out during a match. Each has their own special ability, which charges up at a different speed, depending on its usefulness. Using these strategically can mean the difference between victory and defeat, so there’s a steep learning curve to this part of the game. Just as useful, but a bit easier to understand is the Synergy Gauge, which fills up during the match based on your skillful fighting. Once it’s full you can activate a power up that will let you deal massive damage to your foe.

The core fighting mechanics within Pokken Tournament DX are strong and have been left totally unchanged in the transition to Nintendo Switch. If you were a pro on Wii U then you’ll be a pro once again here. Of course, that also means that if you weren’t a fan of the Wii U fighter, you’ll probably want to avoid this Switch enhanced version. There’s a few changes to the game, but none that impact the overall experience in any significant way.
