Skylanders could use the Wii U’s NFC capabilities one day
No firm announcements but they are look into it.
It wasn’t a shock to see a new Skylanders game announced on Tuesday and the game will be coming to the Wii later this year. But what about the Wii U and it’s fancy NFC technology built into the console? Speaking to Joystiq, the CEO of the series’ developer Toys for Bob Paul Reiche III has said that “In terms of the Wii U, we’re looking at it, All of the details about the NFC technology haven’t been released to the public yet, and it’s really interesting,”
The technology in Skylander toys isn’t NFC but in fact RFID. The two technologies are very similar and it could open up some possibilities with the new system. So what could they be? Reiche unfortunately can’t go into any detail at all, keeping coy on the subject with a “I can’t talk about that, I’m afraid.”.
Well at least that’s not a denial.
