Pokémon Rumble U is designed to keep you locked in and coming back for more. It’s a harmless diversion with a built in sense of accomplishment that I may not fully endorse (I’m not about to hunt down all 18 of the NFC figurines), but I certainly can appreciate the fun here.
Pokémon Rumble U isn't a bad game, but it doesn't have much to it as a complete package. It's a button mashing brawler with a bit of depth coming from the NFC figures that you can purchase (optional).

very fun and simple game to play with a bunch of people. a little costly but the core game play stays the same as the others in this series. love the new toy pop mode where you can see how rare the Pokemon toys you got are. one downfall did not have the same exploration mode as past games.

Pokémon Rumble U is extremely simplistic and repetitive, however it manages to be fun for the few hours needed to get to the end. Completists will need lot of patience and luck to get everything; kids will have fun regardless.
You can collect all the Pokémon ever created and battle with them; it's just nowhere near as fun as it could have been.
There's some fun in multiplayer, but Pokémon Rumble U is a pretty limited game, with not much depth and a lot of button mashing. Even worse: we still don't have the NFC toys in Italy.
Pokémon Rumble U is a bad Pokémon game, although it can be pretty funny for a couple of hours. It seems to be nothing more then a entree for Pokémon X and Y.
Not just a terrible video game but one conceived purely out of greed and a contempt for its audience – not to mention the hapless parents guilted into furnishing Nintendo’s coffers.
The lack of a shop to sell the Pokemon makes the game incomplete. The worst thing is that it is very repetitive by using only two buttons. It would be better to use at least the 4 buttons for the game to become less boring. The positive thing about this game is that it contains enough levels though they are similar and that this game can enjoy better playing it with friends or family and itit would be better to have an online mode where you can fight against other people. Although it shows that the developers did not put much effort into this game, you can enjoy when you have free time.

A charming game that'll appeal to fans of the series especially the original game. Rumble U centers around arena matches with fixed opponents differing to the usual 'fight through the level' style used previously (although resembling the Battle Royale matches of the original). Rumble U also makes use of the Wii U Pad's NFC features, enabling the player to buy and use the figures in-game. Although I adore having the figures, they tend to be very over-powered (especially the Kyurem figures bundled with the special edition).
Basically, if you enjoyed the Battle Royale of the original, or maybe liked the figures from Skylanders, you'll enjoy this (although it may get repetitive).
If you're looking for some sort of story, turn to the 3DS version.

In metascore I would give this a 48. The game is another cash grab for pointless and terrible gameplay and a game that is bland and repetitive. This game is very mediocre.
