Pokémon Rumble

[¡No Hablo Inglés!]

I haven't seen any topics about this yet, so I thought I might as well make one.

Pokémon Rumble (Japanese: 乱戦！ポケモンスクランブル Melee! Pokémon Scramble) is a WiiWare game released in Japan on June 16, 2009. It was released on November 16 for North America. It can be purchased for 1,500 Wii Points, and currently a free demo is available as well. A prototype for North America was shown at the Wizard World's Big Apple Comic Con.

"Introducing a new kind of Pokémon challenge, available exclusively to the WiiWare service! Pokémon Rumble is an action game in which you control Toy Pokémon (referred to as "Pokémon") and take on wave after wave of other Pokémon in a variety of stages.
Befriend some of the defeated Pokémon along the way, adding them to your collection and granting you the ability to use them in battle. Switch between collected Pokémon at any time, taking advantage of the fact that the amount of damage you deal depends on the type of move used and the type of Pokémon hit. Be the last one standing to gain the right to compete in the Battle Royale and test your skills against many Pokémon at once.
Or team up with three people for some multiplayer action, working together to take down tough Bosses and earning points that can be used towards recruiting or training Pokémon. You can even save your favorite Pokémon to your Wii Remote controller for exchanges with friends.
Combining beautiful cel-shaded graphics and exciting game play features with the world of Pokémon, this is one Rumble you won't want to miss!"

tl;dr - Top-view Mystery Dungeon style Pokémon game for Wii.

Unfortunately it hasn't been released in Australia, nor is there a scheduled release date, so I haven't had the chance to play it myself and I doubt I will in the near future. In theory I think this game would be great, but it all depends on how it's executed, it would either be fantastic or tedious. Even so, from the videos I've seen it looks quite well done.

So, do you have Pokémon Rumble, or have you played it?
Did it live up to your expectations?

How has it not been released in Australia? It's been released in Europe which the Australian Wii shared its firmware including the Wii Shop Channel with.

Yes, I own Pokemon Rumble despite being a resident in Australia which contradicts what you said. I've only played the very first part of it and I got bored. I prefer the classic turn-based Pokemon games.

Spoiler:

Sorry for mini-modding...

I think Pokémon Rumble is one of the best Wii Games I have, I really like it :D

Eh, clearly I fail.

Firstly, I was just going by Bulbapedia's release date, which had "TBA" under the Australia section, I honestly haven't gone near my Wii in some time, so that's the explanation for that.

Secondly, I can't believe I missed that. *headdesk*
If any mods happen to drop by feel free to close this on account of my lack of observance.

I think it's pretty fun. :D But I did get bored after I beat the entire thing... and it seems that Nintendo stopped making passwords for it, which really sucks since they stopped by around the first month it premiered? :P
