Common we all knwo what it means

NFC + pokemon = shitz all over skylanders.

Now the big question is will Nintendo do it or will they release something stupid like Nintendo dogs NFC game instead hoping to win casuals back lol.

i keep hearing people say this and it makes me laugh of bit. It sounds like its almost apologetic for Ninty to not snag up exclusivity when it could. If Ninty was going to do a NFC+Pokemon game they would have one out by now. We are three Skylanders games deep and Disney already brought there version out. you really think Ninty wouldnt have jumped on seeing how popular they got. If they ARE waiting then they are stupid.

I never said they were smart jsut saying what someone at their office in Japan is thinking that they don't need it cause they have pokemon up their sleve. But realistically it is a long shot hence the nintendo dogs joke. If they do finally release it it may be too late as the toy craze will wear off.

I do think they missed an opportunity to have an exclusive that would cater to their core audience of kids. This wuld have sold Wii Us if they couldn't buy it on competitions systems.

I agree or at the very least when they saw how well Skylanders was doing they could have been like "hey we need to get on that, we have Pokemon" could hav been a double whammy, but no I think that goes back to Ninty's archaic, foolish we dont want to copy anyone notion. Its ok to copy especially when you cant provide a better alternative.
