Wiikly WiiWare Wiiview: Pokémon Rumble

As long as you haven't been living under a rock for the past 15 years, you are most likely somewhat familiar with Pokémon, the franchise that took the world by storm with cute and cuddly killing machines. Over these last couple of years, the craze has finally died down, but the frequency of games in the franchise has not. So, seeing Pokémon Rumble on the WiiWare list this week should be no surprise. For many, it probably isn't even a blip on the gaming radar. However, those who are still fans of the franchise will be pleased to know that not only is there a new game featuring their favorite little monsters, it successfully strays from the typical gameplay a bit and allows you to take control of your favorite Pokémon in a free-for-all Battle Royale. 6/10
