Super Pokémon Rumble brings Pokémon action to Nintendo 3DS this festive season

20th October 2011 – This festive season, kids needn’t settle for ordinary toys, instead, they can encounter hundreds of extraordinary Toy Pokémon in the newest entry in the fan-favourite Pokémon™ video game series. Super Pokémon™ Rumble launches across Europe on December 2nd 2011 as the first Pokémon game created for the Nintendo 3DS handheld system, letting new and existing fans experience the world-renowned franchise with a whole new dimension. Thanks to the unique features of Nintendo 3DS, players can not only battle and collect more than 600 Toy Pokémon in 3D without the need for special glasses, but can also play together with a friend in a cooperative multiplayer mode and discover interactive StreetPass content.

Super Pokémon Rumble takes place in a world called Toyland, where players must take on the role of Toy Pokémon as they navigate a series of imaginative levels, and features more than 600 Toy Pokémon to collect, including those from the recent Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games. New Team Battle and Charge Battle modes provide fast-paced challenges that will thrill players of any experience level, while giant Boss Toy Pokémon will test the skills of even the most seasoned fans.

Players have two ways to connect with each other in Super Pokémon Rumble. Using a local wireless connection, they can play cooperatively in game areas that both players have already completed, which also makes it easier to collect more rare Toy Pokémon than usual. By using the Nintendo 3DS system’s built-in StreetPass feature, they can also challenge Toy Pokémon from the collections of other players and view customised Mii characters within the game.
