I hate NFC as much as the next guy, but a trophy is like the lamest possible award for buying one.I would prefer figurines just for trophies.
I want to be able to purchase any alts or new characters digitally without physical stuff I gotta throw away or store somewhere.
They can't really restrict any significant content to NFC as the figures won't be sold globally.
And not the NFC part that they also haven't announced?
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.
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 agree.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.

I dunno. They locked all E3 threads right now. I guess it's too early for e3 hype threads.

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%
Use NFC to upgrade Link's facial model
I think his face is... too round?... in smash bros. In HW, his face is much more rectangular.
Because there's more to hyped about than just Smash Bros.?![]()

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![]()
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.

Oh, man! Let the competition, begin...
Some games actually did need that.
The Rumble Pak would be a better comparison.
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.

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.
Oh the delay is possibly a misprint?Yes and no. It's likely not delayed, but it is likely to have NFC.
We're all hoping at least. They changed it back. I'm thinking it's a staggered release, with Japan as early as August and Europe in October.Oh the delay is possibly a misprint?
Ah makes sense. I was hoping for a worldwide release for everyone.We're all hoping at least. They changed it back. I'm thinking it's a staggered release, with Japan as early as August and Europe in October.

Guys like sriously, go look at any video of link in motion in smash 4, he looks fine.
