As we reported last month, a new Wii U eShop title called Pokemon Rumble U will soon be coming to the Nintendo eShop in Japan, making yet another entry into the Pokemon Rumble series after it has appeared on both the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo 3DS. But more importantly, the title may be support actual toys similar to Skylanders.
This news comes from the latest issue of CoroCoro magazine which apparently states that the game will be released on April 24th and will also make use of the Wii U GamePad’s NFC feature which is similar tech to that of Skylanders.
The figures, of which seven will be available at launch (6 standard figures and 1 special figure) and will cost 200 Yen which roughly translate to £1.40/$2.00.
