Forums - Nintendo - Pokkén Tournament Review Thread - MC: 76 / GR: 76.85%

Pokkén Tournament is set to release worldwide on March 18th, with reviews expected to roll in any day now. The game is one of the first major releases on the Wii U for the year, and is practically the first relevant HD Pokemon spinoff game (no, Rumble U doesn't count). A collaboration between Bandai Namco and Nintendo, Pokkén Tournament takes elements from the popular Tekken franchise and merges them with iconic Pokemon characters and a unique style.

Official Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Thread

You really wanted to make this thread huh? Couldn't resist

Anyways I'll add my prediction later when I update the league



Probably like 79 meta.

Reviews will like it but nit pick at things and says it strays too far from more famous fighters.

Im guessing that it will land around 84.Hope the voice of that annoying girl(the announcer) dosent take too much point out



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Im guessing around a 75.

I think I chose 86 in the other thread.... I'm not sure. Lol I'll update later if it turns out I'm wrong with my original prediction.

78 seems right. This game seems to suffer from the same things SFV did; tiny roster of characters, very small amount of play modes, lack of content and we don't even know how the online in this game will be (does it even have online PvP?)

It has more content than SFV.  You have local and online multiplayer with customization options for the match, a much longer single player mode, 19 stages as opposed to 11, and while the roster is the same (16) it does bring in 30 support Pokemon (15 sets of 2) that spice things up a bit.  It also has a proper training and tutorial mode as well as customizable single player single matches, including a special type that takes some cues from Smash (which can also be played in all multiplayer modes).  There's also a absolute crap ton of unlockables.  Most of the supports, two of the fighters, and most of the stages have to be unlocked.  Then you have things like Avatar customizations and titles and such as well as some more superfluous but still useful stuff like the cheer skills that you pick for the announcer chick.  

So with all that in mind, assuming the fighters are as varied in play style and balanced as they appear to be in videos, this would be adequate content for a new fighter IP.  Not exemplary, but adequate.  



Not sure why I need to post my prediciton AGAIN when you already made a thread like this.

84.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Around 70 on Metacritic.
