We already know that the WiiU will use NFC, but the WiiU will include a NFC gamer card and the same exact streetpass technology used on the 3DS.

Thanks to OperationBlueWave on Facebook/Twitter for this rumor

I hope this isn't old.

Please Nintendo just let me play Smash Bros. WiiU and Monster Hunter WiiU lag-free with PSN/LIVE quality online features and I'll forgive you for this gen. :)

If they can get 3DS Streetpass to have some functionality with the system that would be mind-blowing :o

I hope there's a feature to put our gamercard onto the 3DS or at keep both in sync. I don't want to carry both around :P

Not only will you have to carry around the Wii U controller, but also the console itself:twisted:

There is no flaming, change your defensive perspective..cause it's only going to lead you into more arguments. Next time learn to ask nicely, out of curiosity. Perhaps THEN your responses will be more meaningful and polite.

Sometimes it's all about how someone comes across with a question and in what tone/manner. It's easy to take it the wrong way. :) I actually had to Google it for further info. Sounds interesting i guess.

You didn't watch the Rayman Legends video from Ubisoft that was leaked?

The controller can recognize chips inside figurines, so for instance when you place the heart on the controller in real life, you get hearts in the game!

It is gimmicky, but the potential is huge, especially with Pokemon. Isn't Skylanders doing something similar already?

Freakin sweeeet!!!! That's a brilliant idea, GJ big N. Now, make the controllers touch-to-sync so we can just touch them to the console to sync them and not need the sync button at all, which is kinda ugly.

Hopefully that 2 minute video can help you understand Near Field Communication

They were already talking about using streetpass for the Wii U "It is not expected that everyone will go online with the Wii U, so Nintendo is looking into what kinds of changes or new data can be sent to the Wii U using the 3DS'' About the NFC stuff, I thought this was known since last e3 when they talked about it.
