Nintendo of America has announced today via a press release that it’s bringing Pokemon Rumble Blast to North America. The game which sees players take control of wind-up Pocket Monsters will launch on October 24th. Pokemon Rumble Blast is scheduled to be released in Japan this month under the name Super Pokemon Scramble and is a sequel to a Wii Ware title. Who’s excited?
An action-packed Pokémon adventure in 3D without the need for special glasses, the game lets players battle against waves of opposing wind-up Toy Pokémon, connect and play with friends, and collect more than 600 Toy Pokémon.
As players advance through each stage in Pokémon Rumble Blast, their Toy Pokémon will face dozens of Toy Pokémon at once, creating fast and furious real-time battles. Players must also face off against giant Boss Pokémon, whose massive size and strength offer special challenges. Certain defeated Toy Pokémon can be added to the player’s team, and players may also collect special Toy Pokémon, each with its own unique stats and abilities. Players can collect more than 600 Toy Pokémon in all, including those from the recently released Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games. Players can quickly and easily switch between the various Toy Pokémon they collect throughout the game.
– Nintendo of America press release
Soooo…it’s like Pokemon Coliseum meets Toy Story…?
Pokemon colosseum sucks!
& i’d say this is more like a bunch of pkm mini games + fisherprice™ toys ;)
“Pokemon colosseum sucks!”
I’m not talking to you.
^guy above me is gay for pokemon
More than 600? You mean ALL of the Pokemon are in this one!? YES!!
High-five!!
Who, over 600? How long will this game be, compared to the WiiWare one? I’m hoping it’ll also give you some extra stuff in the next Pokemon game.
Glad we are getting this in NA! I was starting to become depressed because of all the recent cancellations (Assassin’s Creed, Megaman Legends 3, etc.) and of course Op Rainfall.
Don’t you mean October 23rd?
October 24th is a Monday and NoA always release their Nintendo games here in America (North America) on Sundays.
I don’t really want a spinoff. I want a true Pokemon game ._.
Yeah, I would really prefer that, but I’ll take any good 3DS game during this dry spell that I can. Once we get Super Mario, Mario Kart, and others, I’ll be less apt to purchase a spin-off (unless that next spin-off is Mystery Dungeon!) as I will be holding out for that highly anticipated Pokemon 3DS. I can already imagine… battles rendered in 3D and hopefully the region itself looking Colosseum-esque with a little bit more detail.
Seems fun.
So is this a cartridge title or a downloadable game?
This will be a full-out retail game; so, yeah, it’s a cartridge.
oh shit.
it will be both
*yawn* tell me when we get Pokemon Stadium 3D, or a 3rd game in the colosseum series. but actually, i don’t care. i want them Op Rainfall games!
this game sounds adorable.
It would be interesting if you could use the circle pad as a way to “wind up” the pokemon for more HP, faster speed, etc. XD
Sounds pretty Kool
Meh. Still isn’t convincing enough to buy 3D$i.
NINTENDO 3DS IS SELLING BAD THINGS THAT WILL HELP BRING 3DS SALE UP HIGH:
1.WE WANT A YOUTUBE APP TO SEE HOW TO BEAT A GAME LIKE LEGENDSOFZELDA AND LOOK AT 3DS GAMEPLAY INSTEAD OF NINTENDO GIVING US SHORT TRAILERS
2.FREE RETAIL DEMOS I SEE PSP,PS3 WITH DEMOS TO TEST A GAME OUT BEFORE BUYING
3.FREE PICTURE THEMES I WANT 2 LUK AT 3D IN THE BACKGROUND
4.WE SHOULD GET AN UPGRADABLE MENU LIKE MUSIC FILE,PICTURE FILE,GAME FILE SIMILIAR TO PS3
4.WE NEED MORE 3RD PARTYS BECUZ THE ONLY NINTENDO GAMES I PLY IS MARIO
I can’t read half of that. Using lowercase letters is a good start.
^guy above me is gay
also, i agree, 3ds sucks.
Well, right now it is suffering, but it will get better eventually. The system is fine. It’s just what they are DOING with the system that is causing all of this criticism.
I noticed that you like to use the word “gay” a lot to describe some people.
Ya. u just Keep telling urself that, fag.
Pretty indifferent; I didn’t buy the first Rumble but I did play it, and it was fun at first but got generic fast.
Maybe I’ll get it because I’m starting to feel desperate for good 3DS games.
You “forgot” to add a comma before both of your ‘buts’; grammar is imperative to understanding the logic behind your rather confusing post.
Sorry, try again.
As long as it got Heracross & Blaziken and good gameplay, I’m sold.
nice, i`m sold already.
simply loved playing Pokémon Rumble on my beloved wii, the only downside it had was that it got repetitive with that few pokémons, but with 600 monsters i am, certainly, going to buy this one.
