D'AWWWWWWWW SHIT

Have built pillar for digital, now able to take risk, think once done and bottlenecks removed can change perceptions
New Tweet!
Digital will include user to user communications and sharing
It's good to hear they have first party titles prepared for launch
So, we can relatively safely assume that we'll get Pikmin 3 and Retro's Project on launch, but are there any other Nintendo developers that could deliver a title for launch? Monolith with a Xenoblade spin off, or Arika with Endless Ocean 3 perhaps?
only checked the release schedule in america and it's not there, lower profile titles get put there most of the time. I guess there's maybe e3 for it to get officially announced.

Hopefully it's not gimped with friends codes, security stuff and whatnot >__>

I'm gonna cry...Nintendo, this is all I ever want from you. ;_;
Fire Emblem not for america
sigh
Would it be possible for them to update the 3DS to take advantage of these Wii U accounts? Because they really need to do that.

Surely if they brought over Spirit Camera then they will bring over Fire Emblem. I just can't imagine them not bringing over one of their big DLC titles.
So, you're saying for example, I could buy pokemon figurine booster packs and place them on my WiiU controller and have them do things in-game? (I'm calling this here and now.)Yeah, seems more like the Spyro game type of thing.
NFC refers to something where say it's on your cell phone, you could pay for stuff just by swiping it near a reader of some type by the cash register, if you had all the appropriate setup.
So it makes sense in the spyro figurine concept.
How so? What else you think they could do with this tech?
i don't think friend codes would work very well with the whole user accounts concept. multiple friend codes per console.,..
Hmmm, so I might be able to tap my credit card on the wii u and make a transaction. Sounds a lot easier than inputting the data by hand.
So many revelaitons tonight
Interesting.. Though likely nothing too more elaborate than what 3DS and DSi provided.Digital will include user to user communications and sharing
Imagine it as QR scanning, except the scan is automatic and there is no scan involved. Sort of like those security labels that prevent you from walking out of a store with a high-value product, in a way. It is mostly a way to send/receive data, which means different accessories could trigger different in-game events, etc.
"Doomed" Nintendo is best Nintendo.
NFC sounds like that tag or tap thing iphones can do so I imagine that means Nintendo will encourage people to bring their upads to their friend's house for local multiplayer.
Reminds me of Mobil Gas Stations in the 90s where you had that little thing on your keyring and it let you purchase gas and items by linking it to their credit card. (or what's currently in some credit cards, none of mine have the wireless symbol on them)Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimetres. Present and anticipated applications include contactless transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as Wi-Fi.[1] Communication is also possible between an NFC device and an unpowered NFC chip, called a "tag".[2]
NFC standards cover communications protocols and data exchange formats, and are based on existing radio-frequency identification (RFID) standards including ISO/IEC 14443 and FeliCa.[3] The standards include ISO/IEC 18092[4] and those defined by the NFC Forum, which was founded in 2004 by Nokia, Philips and Sony, and now has 150 members. The Forum also promotes NFC and certifies device compliance.
NFC can be used in social networking situations, such as sharing contacts, photos, videos or files ,[11] and entering multiplayer mobile games
From Wiki.
"Doomed" Nintendo is best Nintendo.
Nintendo has never said anything about it having dlc actually
The way I see it, the upad will be able to make transactions by tapping your card on the touchscreen. Nintendo will probably make an AR game that involves figurines that use the upad like a portal of power. The upad can also use NFC to transmit data between controllers if you take it to a friend's house.This is exactly it. But it will probably be the tablet that has the NFC, since many people have their systems in closed entertainment cabinets.
Most people in this thread seem to be misunderstanding what NFC is.
It's a data transfer method, much like when you "beam" contacts from one Blackberry to another. The data transmitted is easily interpreted, so rather than try to prevent piracy, it will likely transmit simple packets of data that trigger in-game events, match up controllers/accessories to the system, send credit card info, redeem points cards/download codes, etc.

iPhones dont have NFC yet.
I simply can't imagine what Nintendo's fear of the internet has been for the past decade.
Building a robust online network wasn't some big risky venture for Microsoft and Sony. It was a necessity in the modern fucking world.
Did Nintendo seriously think gamers wouldn't be interested in it? Sure, network gaming hasn't always been what it is now, but I simply cannot believe that they thought they could just "wait it out".
