Gaming Pokkén Tournament demo out now on the Japanese eShop

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Kinda fun but already had my go at it with the WiiU version and didn't hugely enjoyed it all that much so the demo will be enough. Pokkén is by no means a replacement for Tekken on the Switch though some may think so.

As in graphical improvement, I suppose it has been but looks more or less the same to me as it were on the WiiU, it's another one of those cases like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart 8 it can look better but only if you look close enough.

A bitsy important none: The demo has a 15 limit use but there's a way you can get around it. Read it here. Credits to Nintendo Everything.

@jt_1258 you asked.

Why limit users like that? It's a fucking Demo, let users play it to their hearts content. Stupid Nintendo being Stupid yet again.

Well, they want the customers to buy the game but implementing these limits can be a deal-breaker as a first impression.

First time trying the game, I have very mixed feelings about this game.

Combat feels stiff and very basic even when compared to the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series.

Phase shift over complicates things but not in a good way, roster is very limited even though each and every Pokemon in the Demo plays and feels uniquely different.

In fact I feels ARMS has more fluidity and better strategy planning when compared to Pokken DX, the thing that don't like about ARMS is they over complicated the input mapping on the Pro Controller otherwise I feel ARMS is the better game gameplay wise.

And that's what Pokkén's gameplay is all about. It can be fun but once you realise that the gameplay is sort of Rock/Paper/Scissor in 2D and 3D there isn't a whole lot to expect from it.

I'm going to get Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 (it plays a lot like ARMS) instead because while that's a button masher it doesn't force players into R/P/S situations unnecessarily.

Going to wait for Super Smash Bros. for the Switch, it's all but officially confirmed by Nintendo at this point...the only question that remains now is when's the release date in 2018?

Yeah, it's a very scripted fighting game without much freedom.
