What up gamers, this is Mumble coming at you with some more Nintendo news.
Watch out Skylanders, a new challenger approaches!
The popular Pokemon rumble series will be seeing the light of day again as Nintendo has announced a new title for the Wii U
titled, *drum roll please*, Pokemon Rumble U.
The game revolves around a world known as Toyland, which is full of toy Pokemon. You are tasked with saving the world of
Toyland in some shape or form, and in doing so you will embark among a variety of worlds and levels to collect toy Pokemon
of all variety to come to your aid.
Following Pokemon Rumble for the Wii, and Pokemon Rumble Blast for the 3ds, this game will boast over 600 Pokemon you
get to pick and choose to fight by your side that will range from Generation I to V.
Unlike the previous titles though, Pokemon Rumble U will be featuring some new twists to coincide with the Wii U tablet
controller.
The game is gonna spinoff of the Popular Skylander series and follow in suit with their own lineup of toys/action figures, you
must buy separately to slowly build your team. The good news is that this game, unlike Skylanders, will not be featuring it’s
own portal, but instead will use the Wii U tablet as the portal that brings these adorable creatures to life on the big screen.
The game releases in Japan April 24th, with a hopeful release in the rest of the world shortly after. The toys are an estimated
price range starting at $2 each, with the game probably ending up in the $20 range. With this being much cheaper, and a much
larger variety of toys to fill our closets, Nintendo seems like they may have the starting advantage of not requiring consumers
to put down a lot of cash for a bunch of different portals that restrict toys from a previous expansion.
What are your thoughts on Nintendo jumping in on the giant cash grab of collectible toys meet video games franchise. Do you
think Skylanders will have much to fear from these guys and will they compete well against Disney Infinity.
My question of the day for you guys is, out of all the Pokemon out there, which top 6 Pokemon will you be racing to stores for
to build the ultimate team. Be sure to leave a comment of your dream team down below in the comments and be sure to share
this among all your Pokemon loving friends out there.
This is Mumble, signing off.
