Time flies when you’re having fun! It seems like just yesterday I picked this game up in Tokyo, but it’s already launching in English now! Sadly, because I have a Japanese 3DS, I won’t be able to play in my mother language. Still a blast (haha) in Japanese anyways though, not a language reliant game in my opinion. Hope many of you picked up a copy, I really do recommend it!
[UPD] I (Oh this is ozy btw. :p) just got back from my local GameStop and was planning on playing Rumble Blast right this second, but I’m not. And why is that you ask? Well, apparently the game isn’t coming out until tomorrow. (?) Long story short: I went up to the counter, asked for the game and the lady (who is also the manager of the store, so I guess that makes it more legit?) behind the counter said that the games ship today, but they will be in stores tomorrow. I’m not sure if this is just for my local store or area or something, but regardless, just a word of warning so people don’t get totally down in the dumps because they didn’t get their game today. Ok, back to regular broadcasting:
If you *have* picked up a copy, I have begun my game coverage. You’ll notice a new “Rumble Blast” section up top and our first part is up that covers ‘Toy Town’ 1-1 through 1-3. I will finish 1-4 tomorrow, I’ve got to sleep for college tomorrow morning, have already spent almost two hours on this. I’ve been going through the locations with my Japanese games in order to get the information. Will be checking with Serebii because I’m getting different costs for the move vending machines, hmm…
One of my goals for this site is to become a content source, not just a news blog 🙂 This is one of our first steps in providing more thorough game coverage, and hopefully many more pages will come soon!

ps- beta “Passwords” page is up, but it’s just me testing things so currently there’s only the US Pikachu code up.
Seriously cannot wait for this to come out on the second of December (yeah I live in the UK) but on a different non-Pokemon realted note, I can also get Mario Kart 7 at the same time as Pokemon a day after Japanese release… take that Americans! =P
Buy Super Mario and Mario Kart. That way, Nintendo still gets your money, but you get better games. Than wait a month or two for Rumble Blast to drop in price. ^^
Well PJ, is this game worth it? My RL friends with 3DS’s are starting to sway me towards accepting the system, but I’d like to know that there are decent games to look forward to before investing in one myself. :/
Thank you and have a nice day!
I’d definetly say Rumble Blast is worth it. 🙂 I gotta play around with my friend’s Japanese copy and it’s awesomeeee! 😀 It’s simple and easy to play, and it’s amazing for people who can only play in short time periods (Like me, when I have to take the bus to my college. >< ) You can read our full review here though btw: http://pokejungle.net/2011/10/19/pokemon-rumble-blast-the-official-pokejungle-review/ As for buying a 3DS, DO IT. Now, more than ever is the best time to buy it! You have Ocarina of Time 3D and Rumble Blast already out and awesome games like Mario Kart 7, and Super Mario 3D Land coming out around the holidays. Not to mention the firmware update that's happening soon that'll add new puzzles and Find Mii 2 to the 3DS so you can actually use those play coins. :p So you'll be busy with your 3DS for a while. :) And that's only stuff at the top of my head. ><
I had the same issue. I know for a 100% fact that it comes out today. I have a few sites I check. They lied.
It did come out on the 24th, but unfortunately the stores have no control as to when they get their shipments from Nintendo 🙁
I come from the land downunder.
-starts to weep-
There is no up and down in the universe, so maybe we are the ones living down under?
Ok. You can have Men at Work. We never really wanted them.
Oh yay, I love Men at Work! 😀
Still don’t want it.
Gonna save my money for a Vita (and some other 3DS games, I’m no fanboy of any company)
im also saving for a Vita… yay… I have about £175.00 saved up for a 3G model… £100 more to go until 22nd February here in the UK!
I really wish it was for the DSi as well…… I bought mine just 2-3 months before the 3S released, so I won’t be getting any of this anytime soon :'(
