So much pokemon money If Nintendo pulls that skylander stuff

I hope it give me additional credibility
I now i know, Nintendo's whole strategy is about the social and family interaction in gaming. I'm not concerned by that so i'm not their actual target, and it hurts! I hate Nintendo cause they're not interested in me !
But still, i'm just a little worried that they fully assume the "let's use lots of gimmick and things to buy in a smart way cause in the end, that's what makes money, not zelda shit..." But i know Ubisoft is the king for that, so them being the first exemple we have is not the best exemple, i'll admit it!
Enlighten me please!
Infrared transmitter for remote control functionality?
is nintendo even willing to put big budget pokemon games on their consoles anymore or ever? lol

NFC = gimmick
is what people are saying... when was the last time you heard that about Nintendo?
NFC maybe the most important money making thing to come out of the WiiU
so much gameplay ideas and credit card transactions
Japan will eat this up.
Dragon Quest X using NFC
MMOs using NFC
Pokemon using NFC
Boobie girl games using NFC
so SONY/MS will copy this day one no doubt

Know how you feel, I was about to lay down and then I thought "I should check neogaf before I do that" now I'm up for good.

There is no way in hell this is happening, but imagine a reveal that all Nintendo figurines bought over the last year were actually WiiU NFC-enabled.
honestly I see NFC as the future of consoles
We will keep your secret, if you make us delicious french toast. Or as you know it in your country as just toast.
Imagine picking up a couple game code cards from a retail store, coming home, throwing the cards on your controller on the coffee table, and the system automatically starts downloading the games without you ever having to access a menu. Would feel pretty boss.

If I am not wrong, Spyro Adventure and its figurine revenue has said to be pretty high in NPD threads? (and it's not even that popular if I am not wrong)

Just so I understand, you can't send significant amounts of data over NFC, right? So in this trailer, the figurines likely just transmit a key which unlocks existing game content?

NFC is going to make Nintendo a stupid amount of money in Japan.
or lazy. I like navigating menus and getting arthritis. we're going to end up like those people from wall-e one day

The figurine would likely have a chip with a code that is already in game so when the code is read an action occurs. Though this can be used for things like credit cards etc

Or like, even taking the product out of the blister packaging, depending on the product.
Yup. But games are patchable, so new content could always be added.

Got it, thanks. I assume its the same tech as public transport cards such as London's Oyster

so seriously what is the fallout from this leak? Ubisoft is too large to be in any trouble so this could have been planned all along... I want to see a game that can show us more about WiiU's power though
yeah the simple fact that it makes sales transactions easier is enough

I always am to afraid to have my CC permanetly on file, but the code cards are always annoying to enter, so your right that would be a great feature.
Yup. I think nintendo said they got the idea from japanese vending machines...?

Anyone going to pore over the footage and tell us if it's 1080p
It's pretty low bandwidth but I don't think there's a limit on what you can send. I imagine it will just unlock stuff that's in there. They won't store models and levels etc on the figurines.

Makes sense!
How about this for a use of NFC? Nintendo has a website where you can order a custom-made figurine of your Mii. Then, to log in to your account, you just place it on the pad. Handy for families
Haha I know. I imagine the "Wii U on par" threads have about 2000 more messages already.

Havent people been doing that with skylanders figures, using them in game then selling them on in mint condition unopened for massive profits?

I dont know the budget for pokemon on consoles or whatever but if its pokemon of any sort they'll probably include something like that regardless because you know.. its pokemon
wether it be the poke park nonsense, pokemon stadium like games they wouldnt be missing easy money if they didnt incorporate something like this.Hell Wii U might be the revival of collecting pokemon cards for most of us.In the end the trailer doesn't really show much new aside the game itself since the temporary footage doesn't confirm or deny anything. Nintendo ninjas may show some mercy.
Yeah NFC is really booming in Japan while its still in the infancy stage in NA etc. The idea mentioned with buying a gamecard coming home and scanning it and downloading that game is a great example of what NFC could do.

Maybe it was an intentional leak!!!!
I doubt Nintendo is THAT upset.
I have no idea what is going on really.

Remember that the WiiU version is rendered TWICE. Once in HD for the TV and once for the DRC (or uPad if you like this name better). Im talking about Rayman Legends here
I stand by my post.

Why would they say that? This is far from the first Smash Bros clone, so this situation isnt anything new.
I really dont see the anger(?) over this Battle Royale game. Yes, it looks very much like a Smash Bros clone, but there are a lot of clones of other games other there. Modern warfare first person shooters comes to mind. Are people pisssed(?) over this too? Clones are a testament to the original idea, that people believe in it.
What makes it seem like there are few characters?
I think that 3rd parties is a bigger threat here. Just look at all the Wii Sports and Wii Play clones that excist on Wii. The WiiU is launching in maybe 5 months, so it doesnt really matter much, their ideas will be revieled then regardless. It might even be shown at E3 in a month too. It is not like someone could develope the same idea in that short amount of time and beat Nintendo to the punch on this. But i understand that Nintendo (and all other companies in the same situation for that matter) dont want to announce it earlier than necessary.
Good point.
