I honestly believe that, if executed right, Nintendo's figurine platform that make Wii U sales skyrocket. Look at the success of Skylanders and Disney Infinity, both of which required expensive peripherals. Now Nintendo is putting out an NFC platform that is nearly as iconic as Disney's characters, and will be applicable across multiple games. I feel like NFP could actually make the Gamepad seem relevant, and dramatically increase the demand for the system.

I can see it being successful but it wont have the impact of Skylanders due to Skylanders already being out, it's a shame Ninty never bought it when they had the chance.
It might be difficult to break into but I think Skylanders, DI and Nintendo's figurines can co-exist and all be successful. (And for what it's worth the Nintendo ones are the only ones that might make me buy crap like this )
I think Nintendo has the upper hand by wanting to make their figures work with more than just 1 game series
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Maybe. If they REALLY push it hard, than I can totally see that. Especially with it being apparently relevant to games beyond whatever the main NFP game is gonna be, so people have an reason beyond a single game series to care about it.
also despite Pokemon Rumble U being a complete joke with zero marketing, it's still one of the most popular games on the eShop.
It can be a nice piece, but it is going to take more than any one item. They need this, Zelda U, Starfox, F-Zero, etc. Essentially they need to start hitting on all cylinders.
Depends on how deeply it's implemented. If it's tied into Smash Bros, Animal Crossing and maybe even Kart via a patch it could be pretty huge. And by tied I mean it'd unlock some cosmetic things like a piece of furniture in Animal Crossing, a Kart part in Mario Kart or a custom costume in Smash. Or even further where a particular character when purchased unlocks a VC game.
If it's just a Skylanders type thing then..... probably not as much....
