Just imagine if these are future proof to other Pokemon games on the Wii U

I want less angular figures next time :X

Artistic choice. And having played both the Wii and 3DS games to the end, I can assure you the 3DS game was far more substantial content-wise, but it did use the same graphic style and gameplay, and why wouldn't it? It's the same series.The game looks awful. Why did they just reuse models from the Wii game? It will probably have the same exact gameplay too.
Wii U is about to do Wii numbers in Japan.
The toys are so angular ... why?
Oh god. Nintendo just saved the Wii U in Japan. IT'S THE PACHTER EFFECT.
$20 downloadable game that connects to seven cheap, small toys? Nah, not yet. Something big is probably coming, though.
I hope they have a like, 1/10000 chance to have a shiny figure.

The art style for Pokemon Rumble is supposed to resemble old tin toys.
Games in the same series almost always improve their style over the course of a single iteration if able. Why would this be an exception?
I will not believe that the designers intentionally kept the models low poly. Last time I checked toys don't look like painted razor blades.
Not even oldschool tin toys look like sharp death traps.

As far as I'm aware, they're being kept low poly so they can have hundreds on screen this time.

Hello Kitty NFC? Digimon NFC?
lol oh man that would be incredible and utterly sinister
of course the figure itself won't be shiny -- it'll show up as a shiny colouration in-game once you actually use it.
Considering you now get online booster packs for the TCG when you buy real ones, we're halfway there.Someday we'll have Pokemon TCG. Someday.

Uh oh.
UH OH.
I think you're confusing style with resolution/polycount. The 3DS game actually did look better than the Wii game IMO. They used the same models, retaining the series art style, while using extra visual effects/etc to polish up the graphics. I'm sure this will be the same way on Wii U.
Low poly does not automatically = bad graphics. Whether you like them or not of course is your opinion and you're entitled to it.
And I'm pretty sure GameFreak has higher polycount models of many Pokemon since they did the 3d Pokedex and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on 3DS and X/Y, so at some point they obviously made a conscious choice to keep the low poly models for Rumble.
if they can have a full Pokemon game and keep them that TINY and for $1.99 each they can have Skylanders beat
it will still cost you over $1,400 if you have 700+ to buy
but serious $2 tiny like micro machines (takes up less space) 700!

And could they not keep the game updated through the years, holding the models, sound clips, etc for the Pokémon in the NFC figure? $2.00 expansion packs to keep it relevant until the Wii U is retired next, next generation. Imagine generation 7 and 8. Like, 1,000 figures.

this is a stoopid amount of money nintendo is leaving on the table
they are starting off with 6 tiny figures lol for $2 bucks each
they really need to get cracking on a Wii U game that uses a full roster and create 1,000 tiny pokemons to sell at $2
So the complete game will cost over $1000?
So the complete game will cost over $1000? That's train simulation territory.
It will be very interesting to see Nintendo tap that Skylanders market, and see how the cost and content will be handled i.e. Pokemon becoming pay-to-win.

That would be awesome. Seriously, this has to happen.
I also wish Nintendo implemented this in a more robust Pokemon game with better-looking figures.
"For example, we can create cards and figurines with NFC and design our video games to work in conjunction with them," Iwata said of the first possibility. "Also, an increasing number of arcade games are utilizing IC cards which can read and write data in order to record users' scores and it is possible for Wii U games to connect with them." Nintendo is working with "several" developers on ideas like this, "and, by the end of this year, we will probably be able to show you some output, tell you about some more concrete examples of the possibilities or even let you try out some tangible examples."
"With NFC, that's a feature that everyone that owns a Wii U can take advantage of," Shigeru Miyamoto told Polygon in an interview this afternoon. "So that's what we're putting our priorities right now. We're hoping that in the near future we'll be able to show you something that will take advantage of the NFC on Wii U and people will be able to enjoy that."
