A Pokemon Battle Royale Winds Up On WiiWare

Nintendo is squeezing out one more Pokemon game before Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver. Ransen! Pokemon Scramble (Melee! Pokemon Scramble) is a WiiWare title and sort of like Pokemon Colosseum Beat ’em Up.

In the game you control wind up Pokemon toys with the remote held NES style. Matches aren’t one on one. You’re caught in a chaotic battle royale up against dozens of other Pokemon. Up to four players can join the fight and you can take screenshots to record the carnage. See who can defeat the giant boss Pokemon!

Pokemon Scramble will debut in Japan on June 16 for 1,500 Wii Points ($15). This hasn’t been announced for any other region yet, but it’s a Pokemon game so you can count on an international release.
