Switch Online Subscribers Can Play Pokkén Tournament DX For Free Next Week (Japan)

Good game. The Dlc added to the Switch version was welcome, but I'd hoped it would be the first of a series of waves rather than the one-off it turned out to be.

@JohnnyC Ditto. At least mention a possible sequel.

And once again Japan gets the good stuff, just like the My Nintendo Store that they have, and the rest of us can just scratch.
Thanks for looking after your fan base Nintendo

Another $60 Wii U port with only one real new addition, barring the paid DLC. Good game, bad prices.

@JohnnyC I disagree, not every game needs to be a series. Keeping them fresh.

@sanderev I meant the Dlc, not the game.

I absolutely love this game. I have it on the Wii U and I am waiting to buy it on the switch. I will try to play it cos I really love it.

Is there anything in the full game that's not included in the demo (besides being able to play as much as you want)? I'll probably just stick with the demo.

I picked this up cheap for the Wii U, so I think I will live without the free week. However, I feel like Nintendo of America needs to step up it's game compared to Nintendo of Japan.

@mjharper Not sure what''s in the demo, but I quite liked the story mode.

I think Nintendo should make a few of their first/second party signature games free to play on a monthly rotation for subscribers. It would add a ton of value to the sub.

@mjharper I guess there is the DLC in the full game

@shoeses Would have been nice if it were cheaper, but at the time of release, MSRP on Wii U was still $59.99, so it wouldn't have made sense to release the Switch version for cheaper.

I could never change the region on my main account, (option is greyed out) so the work around won't work for me.

Well, I already have this game. Gotta admit that while it's fun, there's just not enough in it to satisfy me.

@roadrunner343 'At the time of release'? Nintendo's First Party games only ever go on sale temporarily, never permanently, so I call BS on that excuse. Pokken on the Wii U along with every other $60 First Party game will be $60 until the day they pull the plug on it's eShop. That and you have blatant proof of price gouging with DKC Tropical Freeze - a game that was $50 on the Wii U which they bumped up to a full $60 release on the Switch.

NOA continues to disappoint as usual.

@shoeses Not sure what you're going on about. Not defending the price or criticizing the price. The point was solely that the game was STILL $60 on Wii U, so of course they're not going to launch an updated version of the game at a cheaper price. Nintendo does wait forever to cut prices, but they most certainly do permanent price drops as well.

Tropical Freeze is irrelevant here, though I'll agree the price was high and is the reason I didn't buy it. We could discuss all day what the price of ports should be - I likely would have bought several more at $29.99 or $39.99 even - but that wasn't part of the original discussion. Merely pointing out that it would make no sense to release an updated port on a brand new system for less than it was currently available.

It's been announced for Europe in the Switch news channel.

You can play it for free in Europe for a week starting 29th July. It’s on the NOE Twitter.
