Pokken Tournament DX – September 22
Pokken Tournament DX will be the first — and most certainly not last — Pokemon game to release on the Nintendo Switch, and will be an enhanced port of the previously released Wii U game, similar to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The new release will feature five Pokemon that were not playable on the Wii U including Croagunk, Empoleon, Darkrai, and Scizor who were all included in the arcade version of the game, and Decidueye, who will be an exclusive character to the Nintendo Switch.
The enhanced Pokemon fighting game will also include several new game modes. Team Battle mode will pit three Pokemon versus an opponent’s three Pokemon. Group Match mode will allow up to 100 players to form a group with custom settings. Players in the group can compete against one another and spectate each other’s matches. Two new battle stages — Snow Gift and Thalia Beach — will also make their way into the release.
