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. 



??? Thats not proven at all yet. They just are talking about games that are announced. I think we should wait to after E3

i dont think they will be used as DLC.

I think it will be used as a faster way to choose the parameters of a match.

like this: you choose your character, the skin, the alternative special attacks and save it to your figurine.
and then, when playing online, you can rapidly select your character and confings by just bringing the figurine near to gamepad.

and not only characters, but also stages, game modes and its parameters, allowed items, etc.

Good idea! This would be a very smart way to use NFC figures!

This does sound good and would be something I could support. I would keep a cool looking Link and/or Mario in my basement which is also my configured Smash character.

 

Makes me wish I read the rest of the thread before making my initial post, as this sounds much more plausable.

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.

I doubt either Nintendo or Sakurai himself would allow that, as it is counterintuitive to their philosophy.

What it will do, more likely, is run like the Smash Bros "name" system that they've been pushing since Melee, now yet more portable with the custom movesets we know about, as well as custom control schemes that Brawl had, and can likely store a versus record as well, the difference being that you have to buy a certain figurine to store data for that character (so if you main Marth, Villager, and King Dedede, and want to have portable data for your control scheme and moveset for each, you have to buy all three figurines. Can't put your Villager data on your Marth figurine).

Thats a really roundabout way if storing data not to mention you could only transfer data by physically transferring figurines and you would lose your data if you lost the figurine.

TBH, the anti-otaku in me would be compromised by the fact that I would have no choice but to buy the Peach, Rosalina, and Wii Fit Trainer figurines.

The Q&A comments from Nintendo if you actually read it never actually said anything about a single game for NFC, in fact the way they showed it was the toys working with multiple games. The Mario figurine shown by Nintendo shows it interacting with three different games for example. 

So it's actually the people who just assumed Nintendo was making 1 singular Skylanders style hub game that are basically just basing that off ... nothing. Also since when does Nintendo ever just do something because that's what some other third party was doing. I think that was actually the false assumption.

Yay for physical DLC.

Yup. If people thought paying $2.99-$4.99 for a new character was bad, try paying $13.99-$15.99.


The Skylander toys are generally $5-$8 a pop no? I doubt Nintendo's toys will be that expensive. 

Skylander figures usually range from $10-$14, with it usually being more on the $14 end. Sometimes you find deals of 2 for $25 on the newer figurines.

Not sure if joking O.o I hope so, out of all companies Nintendo seems to give best value with things of Extra $$. This is no exception. All NFC toys (at least thats wat we kno of) will work with more than one game too. DLC from them have been surprisingly good and most of the time unexpensive. Lookbat FE+NSLU+Pikmin3+Sonic Lost World.

I never said or thought they would do a skylander hub world. Imo i dont think nintendo would do that, they usually come up with new innovative things. I was thinking more of a Kingdom Hearts type of game (just my prediction).

That said, your point makes sense but we still got Miyomoto's New IP. Thats where everybody is getting it from, this was from before that Q&A

Activision makes a killing selling their Skylander NFC figurines for $10-$15 a pop. I could see Nintendo asking for $15 minimum for each figurine and since they might have tranferring capabilities to multiple titles I wouldn't be shocked to see them charge $20 a pop.

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.

I thought you said UFC figures would be used in SSM for a moment :( That would be epic!!
