The title was [[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/688014397051170818 announced]] for a UsefulNotes/WiiU simultaneous worldwide release on March 18th, 2016, in the regions of Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia.

In June 2017, Nintendo announced ''Pokken Tournament Deluxe'' for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, which released on September 22nd. This rerelease adds the four former arcade-exclusive Pokémon (Darkrai, Croagunk, Scizor, and Empoleon) and one new Pokémon, Decidueye (with two more Pokémon — Aegislash and Blastoise — being added later as DLC), as well as a new 3v3 team battle mode.

Added DiffLines:

* MultiSlotCharacter: Mewtwo and Shadow Mewtwo are treated as two separate fighters. The regular Mewtwo is unlocked after clearing the Red League and defeating Shadow Mewtwo, while Shadow Mewtwo is obtained after clearing the Chroma League. Shadow Mewtwo can also be unlocked early by tapping his associated amiibo card. The ''Pokkén Tournament DX'' Switch re-release has Shadow Mewtwo available to play at the start. Both versions are {{Lightning Bruiser}}s, but their movesets and playstyles are different: the regular Mewtwo has [[MightyGlacier a higher health pool and can tank damage]], while Shadow Mewtwo is a [[GlassCannon more offensive-orientated fighter with less health]] and [[CastFromHitPoints moves that consume his HP bar]]. The game's story mode reveals [[spoiler:Shadow Mewtwo and Mewtwo are the same Pokemon; [[SuperpoweredEvilSide the latter being corrupted into the former]] by saving Anne from a Shadow Synergy Stone (which is embedded in its shoulder). It takes the player and Anne working together to defeat Shadow Mewtwo, which sees him reverting back into its uncorrupted form]].

* MarketBasedTitle: ''Pokkén Tournament'' is used in all regions... except in Germany, where it is called ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InkAh6hpZtQ Pokémon Tekken.]]'' This is because ''Pokkén'' is identical in pronunciation to "Pocken" (the German Word for smallpox).
