At the recent Pokémon Direct livestream, Nintendo and Gamefreak announced two new Pokémon games coming this year. The Arcade/Nintendo Wii U fighting game Pokkén Tournament will be getting a Nintendo Switch release, and the latest main line Pokémon games, Pokémon Sun & Moon, will be getting an enhanced release for the 3DS as Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
The first major announcement at the Direct was Pokkén Tournament DX (Deluxe) for the Nintendo Switch. The game is a port of the 2015 arcade and 2016 Nintendo Wii U title Pokkén Tournament with various new additions. The game will support full online play, for both friendly and ranked matches, as well as a 3v3 mode and local multiplayer using the system’s joycons. The game will include the 16 Pokémon from the base game and will introduce 5 more Pokémon to the arena: Darkrai, Scizor, Empoleon, Croagunk and Decidueye.
Pokkén Tournament DX will launch on the Nintendo Switch worldwide on September 22.
Coming out on the Nintendo 3DS Worldwide on November 17 will be Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. The titles will be expansions to the original 2016 Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, bringing in an alternative story to the original, exploring new locations of the Alola region, and featuring new Pokémon not present in the predecessor.
