New Pokemon game available on WiiWare

Available today, November 16, for the bargain price of 1500 Wii points (Yeesh, I take back the “bargain” part), its Pokemon Rumble!

This new download installment of the beloved series has a decidedly different angle than previous titles. Users control a Pokemon windup toy, which they then use to navigate a winding maze, defeating all the other Pokemon they encounter. A free for all, last-man-standing battle mode boasting dozens of opponents is also available, along with 4 person multiplayer and a password screen to unlock “special” Pokemon. Its definitely not your typical Pokemon title, but eh, they had to put a fresh spin on it somehow, right? And anything that allows me to use the phrase “Pokemon Battle Royale” (and thereby invoke the imagery of bruised and bloodied Pokemon) is a winner in my book.

  • Hey here's an idea, let's get an attitude about it :) Since I can't find a collaborating story from anyone else confirming a lower price that doesn't link back to IGN, and since my Wii Shop Channel (I believe my own eyes more than I believe you) still lists it at 1500, for now its changed.
  • Because you are wrong and won't admit to me being right.
  • Alright, peeps, no need to ruffle feathers. Obviously IGN doesn't have the right info. It's fixed, and we're leaving it at that.
  • The Wii Shop Channel says 1,500. Nintendo says 1,500. I believe them more than you and IGN.
  • Wild, IGN said 1200. I'll check it out and correct if need be.

    Edit: it seems the original price was 1500 and has been dropped to 1200.
  • It's 1500 Wii Points.
