<p>As we reported last month, a new Wii U eShop title called <em>Pokemon Rumble U</em> will soon be coming to the Nintendo eShop in Japan, making yet another entry into the <em>Pokemon Rumble</em> 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 <em>Skylanders</em>.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s NFC feature which is similar tech to that of <em>Skylanders</em>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Does this interest you in anyway?</p>
