“As the first Pokémon game created exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system, Pokémon Rumble Blast gives fans the chance to experience unique, fun and fast-paced Pokémon battles in 3D without the need for special glasses. As they explore imaginative levels filled with Toy Pokémon, players can battle and collect more than 600 Toy Pokémon in all – including Pokémon from the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games. For added social fun, players can use a local wireless connection to team up, battle and collect Toy Pokémon together, or use the Nintendo 3DS system’s built-in StreetPass feature to challenge other players.
Product Features
-Pokémon Rumble Blast includes more than 600 Toy Pokémon to collect. Each Toy Pokémon has its own unique stats and power levels, and players can decide which one is best suited for each battle.
-Simple, intuitive controls make Pokémon Rumble Blast easy for new and experienced players.
-The giant Boss Pokémon which are much stronger than typical opponents add a unique and intense challenge as players battle their way through each stage. In Battle Royale, players strive to be the last Toy Pokémon standing in a fast-paced free-for-all where Toy Pokémon attack each other. My son likes anything with an attack mode!
-Two new battle modes add excitement for newcomers and veteran Pokémon fans alike. In Team Battle, players are joined by two of their own Toy Pokémon as they battle numerous mini bosses in a quest to defeat a Boss Pokémon. In Charge Battle, two large battalions of Pokémon collide in an explosive event that challenges the strength of the player?s team.
Two players can team up and adventure together over a local wireless connection. In this mode, friends can play together in normal game areas that both of them have previously completed. This mode also increases their chances of befriending defeated Toy Pokémon. I do want to add that the multi player ability is something we do not yet engage in. My son does not use the wireless connection feature with other kids at this stage of the game.
That being said, my son could not put this video game down (although that is how he is with most of his gaming). He is a huge fan of Pokemon, I would say the built in market for this game is already huge, who isn’t a Pokemon fan? I am and still have no idea how they work!
Also, at 8 years of age, my son does continue to change back to the 2D mode. I keep an eye out anyway as I do not want him to get dizzy from that feature, but he enjoys the game in either mode. He likes to go back and forth between the 2D and 3D modes, so that keeps me quiet.
Yes, I did set up this picture! But my son’s intensity is what I wanted to capture, he is not a poser, this is really how he gets when paying a game he enjoys!

Your son sure is lucky! I would love to review some games for you if he gets bored. 🙂
