In fact, after several hours played, I would say that the greatest similarity is in the style of fights in three-dimensional arenas, which generates a different dynamic from games like Street Fighter, who prefer fights to take place on a two-dimensional plane. Initially, this fighting game was only available in the arcades of Japan, which served to refine the game, but will arrive this week on Wii U.ĭespite some similarities with Tekken, Pokkén Tournament has mechanics that make it a different game. This is where Pokkén Tournament comes in, a new fighting game produced by Bandai Namco that borrows some elements from the Tekken series. Turn-based battles are strategic and require intelligent use of each Pokémon and its attacks and abilities, but fail to capture the show portrayed in the animated series. The fun lasts only a few hours.įor more than 20 years that Pokémon battles have been conditioned by turns, at a pace that I now attack and then attack you. The concept of Pokkén Tournament is convincing, but this first delivery lacks content.
