More On: Pokken Tournament DX

EVO 2017 kicks off tomorrow, and Nintendo is inviting all attendees to try out for the Pokken Tournament DX Academy. If you plan to attend EVO this year, you can drop by the Nintendo booth to play the upcoming game and sign up for the Pokken Tournament Academy, which will add you to a mailing list for exclusive tips, news and strategies for the game. Best of all, you'll be entered into an on-site drawing for a Nintendo Switch console. Considering the Switch is still pretty scarce in the wild, it couldn't hurt to throw your hat into the ring. EVO runs from July 14th-15th, and Pokken Tournament DX launches on Switch September 22nd.
