While I find this a good idea, I have some questions before I decide to get in:
1. What will the price of the figurines and the reader/writer for 3DS be?
2. Which / how many games will support it?
3. Will you be forced to buy figurines to play these games or are they like DLC?
4. How many will there be?
5. Will you be able to see which one you're buying from the package? I have nobody to trade potential doubles with.
I'll wait for answers, then I'll judge
(Also, I used THIS site to report the news to another, Dutch site. Maybe i got you some new viewers: http://www.n1ntendo.nl/forum/topic/21541/n1ntendo-newssubmit-topic/18#post-766657)
@shad0w-7 No, what I', saying is that ou can't just ignore Nintendo's financials. you don't have to know every single number, but you als can't pretend like them losing money is not 'gaming news.'
@unrandomsam They don't want an unified platform. They want their next handheld and console to be 'like brothers,' sorta like the PS4 / PS Vita. Making one unified console would be a bigger mistake than the Virtual Boy.
@shad0w-7 Financials of game companies have nothing to do with games. Dafuq? Look at THQ. It had bad financials results. It went bankrupt. They can't make games anymore. Saying: 'This has nothing to do with games' is like saying: 'I wonder what's on TV today' while a meteorite is falling down. You're sticking your head in the sand.
@unrandomsam SSB and LBW beg to differ. Full 60fps. Maybe you don't know, but the framerate is decided by how graphicly intensive a game is. It's not like Nintendo said: Nah, we don't want 60fps.

Re: Satoru Iwata Announces 'Nintendo Figurine Platform' to Utilise NFC for Wii U and 3DS
@Nintendude789 Actually, you have to buy a separate NFC reader/writer, a pictured in the second image. Hope it won't be too expensive...

@citizenerased Aw sheiße
Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
@Grumblevolcano Nope, that'd actually be Winter 2015.
Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
@Lobster I hope so...
Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
Indeed. Although @Shy_Guy I would say it's still early for ads. Let's hope they won't be the Happy Wii Family again.
Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
@lobster I know. But games take a while to create. Unless you're EA...
Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
@memoryman3 Do that. No one cares anyway.

Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
@Grumblevolcano They didn't say 'winter,' they said 'winter 2014,' so as far as we know it's coming out this year.

Re: Nintendo Reports Financial Losses As Expected, Along With Modest Wii U Sales Targets
@dwuuuu Eeeh no, they're absolutely awful. 2013 has been one of the worst years ever for Nintendo.
Re: Research Firm IDC Anticipates Worldwide Wii U Price Cut in Late 2014 to 2015, Increase in Retail Downloads
@123akis If the price is 'fine' how is it not selling. Seriously, I had hoped they'd make a mariokart bundle for 249.

@Ninhau The Xbone has HIGHER prices for download games than for physicals.

Re: Talking Point: What We Want To See From Nintendo's Next Handheld
@hephiroth In 2014, I don't think Nintendo has to take houses without WiFi into account. I mean, it's 20-bloody-14!
Re: Talking Point: What We Want To See From Nintendo's Next Handheld
Maybe you should do your research before you troll: The biggest 3DS game in data is Bravely Default (an RPG with metric gigatons of hours in it, I might add) with 3,23 GB. 3DS game cards currently come in 1, 2 and 4GB, however an 8GB card is also possible. Doesn't seem limiting to me.

Also, if all games you see on the 3DS are Batman and Spiderman, you have some serious eyesight problems.
Re: Talking Point: What We Want To See From Nintendo's Next Handheld
@MrMario02 Please get your facts right. That'a not a new handheld, it's just a patent. It confirms nor denies anything about the next handheld.
Re: Talking Point: What We Want To See From Nintendo's Next Handheld
@unrandomsam They have not. The next handheld and console were to be 'like brothers'
Re: Nintendo To Market Mario Kart 8 Through The End Of The Year
@Assassinated But it's still more than ONE game.
Re: Nintendo To Market Mario Kart 8 Through The End Of The Year
@Assassinated Again, HW, X and Bayo and smash. They could all be delayed (especially X) but as far as we know now they're coming out this year.
Re: Nintendo To Market Mario Kart 8 Through The End Of The Year
@Genesaur Bayo, Hyrule Warriors and X.
Re: Nintendo To Market Mario Kart 8 Through The End Of The Year
@AshFoxX There's still a month before it releases. No game ever gets marketed that long before launch.

Re: Talking Point: Is There A Future For The Wii U Without The GamePad?
@NES_Hoarder No. That's a terrible idea.
Re: Renegade Kid's New 3DS FPS Is Moon Chronicles
@Savino from what I've read, episode 1 is a remake of the original, ep 2 and beyond is all new content. so it's in between remake and sequel.

Re: Guide: Using Miiverse And The Nintendo Network ID On Your 3DS
@DreamyViridi yes. Just select 'link an existing ID' when you buy a Wii U, then fill in the one you used on your 3DS.
