God, I had completely forgotten about that NFC feature. And I really can't think of a real use to it. It'll probably be some sort of exclusive* DLC...except that you don't download it, so it's actually be more of a 'C'. For anything else, I really can't think of a use that can't be done on the freakin' hard drive of the thing. Okay, skip that: it's probably fun for kids to take 'their' character over to a friends house this way.
Say...a question for anyone with experience with the skylander thingies...does it actually communicate easy? That wiiu fit meter can be a real pain in the ass. It usually interrupts its own connection at least two or three times before actually connecting (note that this is infrared rather than that NFC thing).
*available only to pre-orders, people who buy the extended version, people who mail order it, people who save club nintendo points, people who visit stores that sell nintendo gear and generally everyone else as well.
