Well this is a surprise, Nintendo has put up Pokemon Shuffle live on the Australian and New Zealand eShop this afternoon. The game before today just had a ‘February’ release date and went live in Japan this morning.

Mixing two of the biggest addictions in the world, Pokemon and free-to-play gameplay Nintendo have created a ‘modern’ take on Pokemon Battle Trozei. It’s a match-three type game but with free to play twist we know from every single mobile phone game ever.

You will start the game with a limited number of hearts, lose them and you’ll have to wait some time for more of them to regenerate. Of course if you don’t like waiting you can just pay. Knowing Nintendo this won’t be too bad and nothing like you’d expect.
