The graphics of the models themselves has improved compared to the other two rumble games, the same aslo applies to their animations and the skill animations, as many visual effects have been added. Many new Pokémon have been added to the game, and they're still featured with chibi-like 3D models. Additionally, the game sees the return of the multiplayer function, that was removed in Pokémon Rumble Blast, allowing up to four players to play the arenas together. Beating the boss will allow the player to advance through the game and unlock the next arena. The arena's can now have as much as 100 Pokémon fighting at the same time, with a Boss Pokémon battle at the end of each arena. The game has a small element of story to it, the story begins when some Pokémon capsules from a Toy Shop get thrown into a river and the four Pokémon Pikachu, Oshawott, Snivy and Tepig emerge from them and have to find their way back to the shop, battling several enemies in different arenas on their way. Pokémon Rumble U, also called Pokémon Scramble U when roughly translated from Japanese, shares a lot of mechanics with its predecessor Pokémon Rumble Blast.
Pokemon Rumble U is a beat em up game and the third title in the Pokémon Rumble series, and the first Wii U game to feature the NFC (Near Field Communication) feature, which allows you to scan Pokémon figurines/amiibo's, unlocking their respective Pokémon.
