Pokemon Rumble U marks Pokemon’s debut on the Wii U. Rather than making the game available at retail, Rumble U will be distributed only through the eShop.

So just how big is the download? Reports say that you’ll need 832.5MB of space in order to add Pokemon Rumble U to the system, and another 16MB of space (at least) is required for save data.

What have you always wanted in an open world game? Pig cannons? Rogue Aliens? Well you’re in luck! The latest installment in the LEGO franchise from TT Fusion and the LEGO Company gives you all of that and way more– and I mean WAY more.
