We’ve shown you different Pokemon Rumble U sets coming out of Japan for some time now, but The Pokemon Company International just announced today that Pokemon Rumble U will be coming to the Wii U Nintendo eShop on August 15th in Europe.

The game tells the tale of a mishap at a toy Pokemon shop, where Pokemon capsules are swept downriver and wash up on a riverbank, where they must make their way back to the Toy Pokemon Shop. The game features all 649 current Pokemon from Pokemon Black & White 2, with several hundred moves from the series. Players will also be able to go at the adventure solo, or choose to play with friends.

Up to four players can choose to play together cooperatively in order to defeat the enemy Pokemon, or you can choose to have head to head battles against one another.

No mention of NFC has been made for this European version, but we’ll keep you updated. North American users will have to wait as well, as this press release is strictly for Europe. No pricing information was given at this time.
