Hooray! Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Rumble U will be released on the WiiU eShop on 15th August. It’s a really exciting game, because it’s like Skylanders, but with Pokémon!

The game is already out in Japan, but is coming to America and Europe next month. In Rumble U you have to scan Pokémon figures with your WiiU gamepad to activate them in the game, much like in Skylanders and Disney Infinity.
