What type of game will the NX killer app be?

To the OP's question I think the launch title that they are working on is Amiibo Universe (Hub-Game ala Skylanders).

The NX system's will come with a starter Amiibo and the game pre-loaded so that Nintendo can sell tons of plastic toys for the life of the system and they'll add DLC levels to this hub game with different Nintendo themed worlds over time.

Not my cup of tea, but I can totally see it.

Amiibo toys are going to be a core part of their business going forward, and they will probably have a version of the Amiibo Universe game on iOS/Google Play store also. 

Eh...

Like, I can see that too, but I don't know. As popular as toys to life games are, they do only have a very specific type of audience they target. I think it would definitely be a massively successful game, but I don't see a game like that being the Nintendogs/Wii Sports analog for the NX. I can see a lot of people tuning out as soon as they here they need to buy toys to play it.

So basically, I agree that a game like that will happen, I agree that amiibo will have a much greater focus on the NX (for fucking worse, but still), and I even think it could launch with the NX, but I don't think it'll be enough to kind of knock the NX into mainstream relevancy the way Wii Sports did the Wii. That being said, I do like the idea of Nintendo brute force launching the NX on their brand power alone, which an "Amiibo Universe" would do.

I don't think iOS devices support NFC, so I'm not sure how that would work.
