Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

They can't really restrict any significant content to NFC as the figures won't be sold globally.

Very true, that also. I wonder how impossible it will be to get them all. I also wonder if they'll actually be supported outside of japan, unlike the KI:U uprising cards. I don't want to do my NFC shopping on ebay.
 
And not the NFC part that they also haven't announced?

It was just sarcasm there.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say any NFC support in Smash will be nominal, at best. Maybe easter eggs and the like, but nothing significant.

here is my quote from other thread.

I would guess that it's more likely to be figurines that would hold the saves (records; customized move sets, etc) so people can bring it over to their friends' houses, etc.

I think the Link this is being based on is the new LoZ link and not Hyrule Warrior (which was considered spinoff if I remember correctly)

I hate NFC as much as the next guy, but a trophy is like the lamest possible award for buying one.

That's the problem I see with NFC: they can't (I hope) lock anything crucial to the game like a character or a stage with NFC, but stuff like trophies and alt colors just doesn't seem worth it, unless they're really cheap.


What's weird about Smash Link is how inconsistently ugly he is. He looks fine in the pics on the left and hideous in the ones on the right. HW Link looks great in every shot I've seen. Bishie powers increased by 200%

I think his face is... too round?... in smash bros. In HW, his face is much more rectangular.
 
Buy "Red X" figure and use it on the Wii U gamepad to turn off all items.

Buy "Flat Plane" figure and use it on the Wii U gamepad to add platforms to For Glory mode.
 
actually, it's $0.99 for each item figure, or $5.99 for a bundle of 10 random item figures :P

Pokemon rumble figures were 3.99 each, and they were random which ones you got.

I hope that with this, they ARENT random (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NINTENDO), but I don't expect them to be cheaper than 3.99 each. If anything, they'll be more.

Edit: oops, misread that you said "ITEM" figure. Either way, 3.99!
 
My guess, as other people have been saying, is that NFC will be used for something not integral to the central gameplay; that would kill the couch multiplayer aspect if everyone needed to have a bunch of figurines. If they were just used for saving custom move sets onto for use on another console, though...that could work. Just buy the figurines for your mains and have them in case you're going to a buddy's house.

NFC will be as important as this was for the N64

Some games actually did need that.

The Rumble Pak would be a better comparison.

Some games may actually NEED NFC. Smash brothers will use it like killer instinct, or something, where it saves some info, like high scores, settings, etc, but nothing really important.
 
Wait so NFC figs for smash and the 3ds version delayed? Man bad news for my wallet but the delay would give me a chance to save some cash for figures

Hope my wife doesn't kill me lol
 
This has the potential to be a hilarious beatdown.

inb4 the biggest snub of the tournament beats the winner of the tournament

Fly all the way out to LA for a chance to get DESTROYED in front of an audience of 3000 Live and MILLIONS streaming worldwide. Win the world's biggest embarrassment of a lifetime!
 
As much as I'd like impa as a playable character, and I've supported the idea since the beginning, I think at best she will be an alternate costume for Sheik.

I'm betting on them working as simply fancy looking memory cards that will save specific character data and moves and will also work on other games as well. In fact, I can't think of much else they'd be useful for.
 
The Thursdaytons are real. Like I said before, really glad they are promoting their Super Smash Bros E3 plans over a long period of time now. As well as their other stuff, but Smash is the biggest game at E3 this year.
