Pokémon Rumble World heads to retail with in-app purchases removed

Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Rumble World will be released in Australia and New Zealand on January 23rd 2016. The game was originally released on the eShop in April earlier this year but this new retail package will include the same game just minus any additional paid-for content. Always wanted to play Pokémon Rumble World but not spend a single dollar more after the fact? Here’s your chance.

Pokemon Rumble World has been ‘reconfigured’ with Poké Diamonds, the Poké Diamond Digger and VIP Cards. Here’s what they according to Nintendo;

Poké Diamonds make your adventures more fun and help you along in your mission to discover Pokémon for the king. After completing the tutorial, visit the shop to receive your allotment of 3,000 Poké Diamonds. In addition, you will also be able to access the Poké Diamond Digger. The Poké Diamond Digger will provide you with 40 new Poké Diamonds every day. Once you obtain 3,000 Poké Diamonds and the Poké Diamond Digger, a special VIP Card feature will open up. There are two VIP Cards, the Balloon VIP Card and the Timing Stop VIP Card and they can be used to more easily voyage through the wonderful kingdom of Toy Pokémon, collecting more Pokémon for the king!

Not only is all the paid content removed from the game but the game will also be launching at a cheaper price point of $49.95.
