Forums - Gaming Discussion - Smash Bros. Wii U will have NFC figures!

Saw this at GAF.  It's from Nintendo France.

 

Chrome translation courtesty Amneisac:

Wii U had suffered the past a lack of games a year, with widely spaced outlets. The beginning of the year 2014 was also quiet, what will happen after the release of Mario Kart 8? Many games release will be formalized at the show at E3, but you already know that we out action game Bayonnetta 2. By the end of the year, there will also be the new Skylanders, the new Disney Infinity, Sonic Boom, Watch Dogs or Zelda Hyrule Warriors. And on the output side of games produced by Nintendo, there will obviously be the fighting game Super Smash Bros.. E3 is also an opportunity to show the use of NFC technology [used in Skylanders and Disney Infinity, allowing the use of real objects - here, figurines - in video games] in Nintendo consoles . The NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros.

Called it.

I don't think there is even a "main" NFC game, Nintendo's toys will just work with a variety of different games. 



Shit! Idk if I should be worried or not

Makes sense.

I mean the characters are figurines in the canon.

Yup, Smash is actually a perfect fit for a variety of NFC Nintendo figures. As long as it's not mandatory.

I am still really curious about how they will handle this. In my opinion they need a "hub" game to tie everything together but it seems like they aren't going that route...without it I don't think this will have much of an impact.



It'll be a 'cheat' way to unlock characters and also a way to store stats and the 'special moves' for those characters.

For me, it means that I'll definitely be getting figures of my favourite characters (Young Link and Sheik for sure) .



i hope they use it to unlock additional character models that could have been clone characters. For example, Fierce Diety Link, Young Link, Dr. Mario, Roy, and Blood Falcon. This wouldn't mess up the character balance and these alternate model with have their own multiple set of recolorings.



Not overly surprising, I must say. Just hope that these figurines if implemented don't lock off new characters, but we shall see I suppose.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Yay for physical DLC.
