Forums - Nintendo - Pokken - looking for some info

so I like fighting games and thinking of getting pokken, is it any good? Never played one, what other fighting game does it play like? I know Namco make it and I'm a big Tekken fan

It stands above Tekken 7 and all of Capcom's current gen fighters on meta, but it's been beat by Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2 on Metacritic. That's all I know xD



Yeah, I looked at the metacritic, does it play like any other fighter you could compare to?

There is a demo on the eshop.
You can try It.
I played the demo on the Wii u version and It was not my kind of game.



There's a demo you can try. Be warned, the announcer chick is very chatty in the demo but you can mute her in the full game or limit her speaking.

It's a fairly unique fighter. It has elements of Tekken as well as elements of Namco's 3D fighters. However, moves are pulled off kinda like Smash with buttons and directions rather than elaborate button inputs. It's a really solid game, imo. It feels distinct and the DX version has a healthy ammount of content.

In short, it takes inspiration from several areas but puts its own spin on them. The shifting from 2D to 3D is, imo, a pretty cool feature and the move sets have a lot of flair to them.

I would say give the demo a shot, just keep in mind it is limited in options.

Didn't know there was a demo, will check it out and at least give me an idea of the game. Thanks!

1000% WRONG! Tekken 7 stands at 82 on metacritic! *runs away laughing maniacly*



I went with DBZ xenoverse 2

The people behind Guilty Gear are working on a DBZ fighting game. That'll be infinitely better than Xenoverse 2.
