NE: "The Wii U has its first Pokemon game. "Pokemon Scramble U", announced in CoroCoro this month, is heading to Japan this spring. It will be available exclusively through the Wii U eShop."
"The debut Wii U Pokemon game isn't a poorly made game, but rather, a game derived from poorly made decisions.
Pokémon Rumble U is the third game in the Rumble spin-off franchise, with the first two launching on WiiWare and Nintendo 3DS. I really enjoyed the first two from start to finish, spending many hours with both. At heart, the Rumble games are simple-to-pick-up brawlers starring toy Pokémon that have one or two abilities. They aren't overly complicated and like most brawlers, are pretty repetitive. Still, I sunk an amazing amount of time into them. With that in mind, I was really excited to play Pokémon Rumble U and enjoying that same simple-yet-fun experience. What I got instead was disappointing.", writes NintendoWorldReport.
Even if the game is mediocre, with the right marketing and a retail release on disc with some of the NFC toys included for like $30 would move some systems for the kids IMO
Even if that were true, it's not a good thing. We don't want people buying a system for this game and having a bad time, as if that's their first experience of the console it could taint their opinion of it.
I'd rather people waited for a decent version of the game and actually enjoyed it, as it would be better for the console in the long run.

It's a decent idea-
But I thought it would be better if they used the cards instead.
I'm sure Nintendo has cards in the pipeline. But toys make a lot more sense right now.
I agree completely. The potential revenue in this is vast. This can push Wii U sales thru the roof with the younger crowd.
Not many can actually argue this isn't quick cash-grabbing from what Activision has pulled off.
Yes i'm getting it my 1st pokemon game ? a cheap way to experience pokemon might as well try it out.
They better bring it to the UK!!!! Nintendo always delay for Europe (Not Fair)
Someone needed to print some money. In all seriousness, I am glad to see Nintendo make moves like this because their sells have been terrible. But it is early yet and a lot of great games are coming.
Another mediocre console spin-off game? No shit.
Nintendo, unless its called "Pokemon Stadium 3" or "Pokemon Snap 2" my level of care is below zero for any spin-offs in this series.
im getting playing black 2 got a level 50 horse waiting for x,and y.
