Pokemon Rumble U NFC Figure Unboxing September 11, 2013

Nintendo released a slew of NFC equipped figurines to work with the new downloadable Wii U game, Pokémon Rumble U.  The NFC figure interacts with the reader built into the Wii U controller, which can read and write data to the figure as you use it in-game.  The figures are sold only at GameStop and cost around $3.99 US.

The downside of the NFC figures are that every container is random and unless you’re buying a figure secondhand from someone who knows what they already have, you’re going to be buying a random figure every time you buy one at GameStop, and there’s a chance you could buy multiple figures of the same type.

In this unboxing, lets see what Maniac caught.
