Additionally, the Wii U’s NFC (near-field communication) feature that lets one scan figurines in is also being put to use for another feature.

The Pokémon Company have announced more details on Pokémon Rumble U, a Nintendo eShop game for the Wii U, along with a first trailer.

Pokémon Rumble U will be the first Wii U game in Japan to use the console’s NFC (near field communication) technology.

The Pokémon beat-em-up game will be making a return, boasting 649 Pokémon from the original Pokémon Red and Blue versions, all the way to the latest Pokémon Black and White 2.

A new Pokémon game is headed to the Wii U as a download title.
