Serebii Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 So I take it the codes that were announced on the ND are the replacements for the toys? Nope. The passwords existed in the Japanese one too
Hero-of-Time Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Nope. The passwords existed in the Japanese one too Thats good to hear. Is there still a chance we will get them then?
Serebii Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 Thats good to hear. Is there still a chance we will get them then? Well the footage has the NFC bit when it the character select screen
Hero-of-Time Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Well the footage has the NFC bit when it the character select screen Yeah, just weird how we have heard nothing about how they are getting distributed, especially so close to launch as well.
S.C.G Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I'm reviewing the game for the site, I haven't been told that I'm particularly embargoed or anything but I don't see the harm in confirming that the NFC option is definitely present in the European version of the software at this time of writing along with the passwords as well. In other news, the game is an absolute blast! I will try to keep you all updated as and when I can but I suspect that Serebii has blown the game wide open by now being that he has no doubt been relentlessly covering the Japanese version for his own excellent site.

Yup, it's all over the best Pokemon site
Serebii Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Yup, it's all over the best Pokemon site Fun fact. Their location section is identical to mine from April 26th 2013 before I put the translated names on. I intentionally held off on the individual stage names to see if I could catch people out. They also lack the challenges I missed at that point. They still lack those things. Fascinating, eh?

If you need a hand: http://www.serebii.net/rumbleu I'll be ploughing through it on Thursday, thanks to my massively overpowered Mewtwo figure, to get the English names
Mandalore Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Maybe they'll put the NFC figures on the Stars Catalogue for Europe.
Serebii Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Maybe they'll put the NFC figures on the Stars Catalogue for Europe. That's a distinct possibility
Tamazoid Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Maybe they'll put the NFC figures on the Stars Catalogue for Europe. That's what I think, like how they put those Kid Icarus cards up on Club Nintendo. But then that would be Club Nintendo would be relevant and useful.

To you...
Serebii Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 To you... Have I told you that I hate you recently? :p
Nintendo Fan Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) It's almost time! Maybe they'll put the NFC figures on the Stars Catalogue for Europe. I hope they don't or if they do, at least have them available in shops. Still no news on the figures? Edited August 14, 2013 by Nintendo Fan
Serebii Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 It's almost time! I hope they don't or if they do, at least have them available in shops. Still no news on the figures? Only word we've got is that they removed all mention to it on the official sites in Europe, and made no mention of it in the Nintendo Direct
Serebii Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Ahead of its release in Europe today, the UK retailer GAME has announced that they will sell the figures for £3.99 each. This confirms that all 18 figures match the ones in Japan and that there are the three shiny figures of Pikachu, Genesect and Eevee. In addition to this, GAME have announced a special edition of the game for sale for £19.99 which includes a poster, a figure and a special bonus Black Kyurem or White Kyurem figure. They also have a download code. Not sure if it's live now
Dcubed Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Good to see that we are getting the figures after all, but £3.99 EACH!? Ouch! I feel sorry for your wallet...
Serebii Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Good to see that we are getting the figures after all, but £3.99 EACH!? Ouch! I feel sorry for your wallet... I have all the figures already. All I'm going to do is call GAME up this morning to see if they have it since all I need is the Kyurem figure :p

Serebii Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. Is this hitting the GAME stores today? Would assume so. Calling mine when they open at 9 since I need the Kyurem figure
Hero-of-Time Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Would assume so. Calling mine when they open at 9 since I need the Kyurem figure Just seen the topic on Gaf and it says sold out on the website. Weird. I will give mine a call as well as I wouldn't mind that limited edition pack myself. I will probably pick up a few figures if them have them as well.
Serebii Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Just called and they don't have it in store
Hero-of-Time Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Just called and they don't have it in store Well that sucks. What about the figures? So is it a web exclusive then?
Ike Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Wow, talk about last minute on the figures. Glad we didn't miss out in the end.
Serebii Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 No idea. Bought the download code on GAME, but they haven't sent it yet...if it comes after the eShop puts it up, I'm screwed -_- With every other game, it has been sent instantly...
