NFP game and figures shown at E3, 3DS will also get IR NFP reader so figures can be used across WiiU and 3DS

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hopefully will have a Wii U by my birthday in July. Unless Zelda U at E3 looks terrible or something.

Still though good news about X being 2014 worldwide.

Will launch figurine business called NFP- nfc featured platform, showed Mario figure across many games being used including saves

Now this is interesting woah megaton

[hughesta]

Including saves? It won't be this but all I can think of is a player needing an NFC figure to save their progress in a game and I'm laughing so hard.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Hopefully the figurines look good, which I'm sure they will. I probably would already buy them if that were true, the NFC features are just an added, potentially awesome,bonus.

More Frankenstein stuff for the 3DS!

I hope this has nothing to do with Smash Bros at all.

 

[Cody_D165]

yeessss that's what I want give me my Nintendo figurines

As long as there's a Captain Falcon figure somewhere down the line I'm in

 

[noobasuar]

Figurines are finally happening. Time to make a billion on those Mario toys.

 

[Soulflarz]

So happy to see SMTxFE isnt dead dead

More Mario in more games is clearly what they need.

Shit, I can actually see this being used for Smash Bros. I don't want it, but...

 

[RurouniZel]

Still hoping beyond hope for Dat Zelda Anime

I'm not.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

So..Nintendo Skylanders?

This is the hardware that was rumored then.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I DONT WANT TO COLLECT NINTENDO FIGURINES. i want to play games.

 

[Riki]

[Shard]

SO Nintendo is finally going full Skylanders then.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

@gibbogame

That's the end of the formal Iwata talk, now to the Q&A

 

[Sammy Samusu]

The figures sound cool, hopefully they look good.

 

[Oersted]

Think Skylanders like everyone here

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

What's NFP stand for? Near-Field Play?

 

[AdanVC]

Gibson sure tweets in a weird way. Probably because he is translating everything on the fly. That NFP thing sounds damn interesting and is compatible between Wii U and 3DS!

 

[Prometheus Zero]

We haven't had a console Zelda title outside of the holidays since Wind Waker, and that was only because of the U.S. delay. November 2015.

EDIT:


Wha-hooooooooaa Mariolanders

About time

So fall 2015 then.. I hope not..

 

[watershed]

And now Nintendo is 2 years late to the Skylanders craze. Not a very reassuring business outlook so far.

 

[openrob]

Does it even take that long to boot? Standby state maybe?

Maybe they meant from power on to game booting, perhaps?

 

[Tripon]

So..Nintendo Skylanders?

I think the whole idea is for the figures to support a whole wide array of games instead of just one.

So that's basically it?

 

[udivision]

So... errbody bring their smash figurines to the tournament preloaded with save data on their custom move sets... right?

 

[Somnid]

I don't think my wallet wants to hear about collectable Nintendo figurines.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Now that's interesting... What if you can use figurines to store saves and bring them to friend's houses? Do people even care about that anymore?

cross buy/save for VC games sold on a figurine? like buy a Mario and Yoshi figurine and get Super Mario World for both consoles that you can share save states with?

 

[Interceptor]

Figurines to carry arround saves instead of multiple account logins. Typical Nintendo wtf. I like it just for the lols.

 

[Pociask]

Sounds more like a memory card than skylanders.

 

[BY2K]

Nintendo-Landers, then!?

 

[HowZatOZ]

Ah shit, there goes my wallet. I was already sucked in with Disney Inifnity, but now Nintendo IPs? Sigh, no eating food again.

And now Nintendo is 2 years late to the Skylanders craze. Not a very reassuring business outlook so far.

They could be six years late to the figurine business, its Nintendo we are talking about. Their IP range is huge, and very, very well known.

 

[DNAbro]

So they going hardcore with the figurines? Hope it turns out well.

 

[Santiako]

What's NFP stand for? Near-Field Play?

Not For Pussies, so you feel better when you buy them as a grown ass man.

 

[-Horizon-]

I'm not.

So much pandering.

 

[Hattori]

I'm not.

will watch x)

 

[maquiladora]

So no QoL or nonwearable stuff mentioned at all?

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

i think the figurines are going to be a huge mistake..
