The rumor about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon heading to WiiWare is apparently true. The three titles will hit Japan on August 4. The difference between them is the pokemon you get to start off with in each one. However, the games will allow you to share your save data across all three titles. The games also focus heavily on team cooperation by allowing your team to stack up attacks to take down an enemy together. Should your team fail, friends can "rescue" you through Nintendo's WFC connection.

Check out the trailer to see the game in action.

Surprise! The WiiWare Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, first revealed in a McDonalds-distribted flyer, are real, and are headed for Japan on August 4. Players will be able to share save data throughout all three games, so they can level up a persistent team.

The three games (Advance! Fire Adventure Team, Go! Storm Adventure Team, and Aim! Light Adventure Team!) each feature a different set of starting Pokemans. And in this game, your team can cooperate even more than in other Pokemon games, by piling up and attacking enemies simultaneously. The WiiWare game also features the "rescue" ability found in recent Shiren the Wanderer games, in which friends can revive your team over the Wi-Fi Connection.

After the break, we've embedded a trailer that details these features -- and shows off the adorable little Pokemon.

    Awesome! I'm definitely getting this! The Pokemon character design looks oddly familiar though, but I guess it's fitting for WiiWare.

      The Pokémon designs have been used in My Pokémon Ranch and Ransen!! Pokémon Scramble.
