Pokémon Rumble U Set to Rock Wii U on August 29

Reading Time: 1 minute

At this point my kids and I have sort of had our fill of Skylanders, and we never really got sucked into the hype for Disney Infinity. This upcoming downloadable Wii U title, however, will no doubt be a big deal in our household. It combines everything we love about Pokémon Rumble Blast with the Wii U GamePad’s Near Field Communication feature.

Pokémon Rumble U will be available August 29 for $17.99 via the Nintendo eShop, with NFC Toy Pokémon figures sold exclusively at GameStop for an MSRP of $3.99 each.

Beware Malicious Pop-up Ads
We’re in a conundrum. We ask our readers to keep their ad blocking software off, so we can get ad revenue to support our sites. But there has been a proliferation of malicious ads affecting a lot of sites over the last year, and that includes us. Beware of any ad that takes over or force-forwards you away from GeekDad, and never download anything via a link from such a page. We are working with our ad provider as they fight these malicious ads, but if you need to block your ads, we understand, and hope you can support GeekDad and GeekMom via Patreon, or in other ways. Thanks!
