Starting this fall, Pokémon™ fans will be able to experience the
franchise’s battle-based action and adventure in a whole new dimension.
Nintendo of America has announced an Oct. 24 launch date for Pokémon™
Rumble Blast, the first Pokémon game created exclusively for the
hand-held Nintendo 3DS™ system. An action-packed Pokémon adventure in 3D
without the need for special glasses, the game lets players battle
against waves of opposing wind-up Toy Pokémon, connect and play with
friends, and collect more than 600 Toy Pokémon.

As players advance through each stage in Pokémon Rumble Blast,
their Toy Pokémon will face dozens of Toy Pokémon at once, creating fast
and furious real-time battles. Players must also face off against giant
Boss Pokémon, whose massive size and strength offer special challenges.
Certain defeated Toy Pokémon can be added to the player’s team, and
players may also collect special Toy Pokémon, each with its own unique
stats and abilities. Players can collect more than 600 Toy Pokémon in
all, including those from the recently released Pokémon Black Version
and Pokémon White Version games. Players can quickly and
easily switch between the various Toy Pokémon they collect throughout
the game.

Pokémon Rumble Blast offers two ways for players to
wirelessly connect with each other. Using a local wireless connection,
they can enjoy a cooperative play mode that allows them to battle
through levels together and more easily befriend defeated Toy Pokémon.
Using the Nintendo 3DS StreetPass™ feature, they can challenge the Toy
Pokémon of players they pass in their daily travels and view other
players’ Mii™ characters in the game.
