During the Nintendo Direct this morning, Nintendo revealed a new Pokemon game for the 3DS, titled Pokemon Shuffle. Pokemon Shuffle is a puzzle game, which seems to be related to Pokemon Trozei and involves moving Pokemon tiles to clear sets of Pokemon within a certain number of moves. Doing this will help you to battle the boss Pokemon at the top of the screen.
The game will be free to download from the Nintendo eShop beginning in February. Controversially, while being free to play, upon losing you must wait 10 minutes to play again or purchase extra lives from the Nintendo eShop. Items to assist in the game can also be purchased for real money. This is the first Pokemon game which will include these microtransactions which are commonly found in phone games.
You can see the trailer for Pokemon Shuffle below.
