Activision has made a killing with Skylander series. Although a greedy company, Activision sure does know how to make money off videogames. The premise of purchasing of toys and summoning them in the TV screen is a stroke of genius, and they should be applauded for their success.
NFC will be the new DLC of the industry. I’m calling it right now. Publishers will be pushing NFC toys aggressive in the future, gamers will hate them, and people will buy them. Disney has jumped on the bandwagon with the upcoming Infinity series. Nintendo has Pokémon Rumble U ready for the Wii U later this year. And I suspect that EA will join the NFC craze (because we all know how much they love money).
Remember "toys"? Those things kids used to play with back in the day, before video games? Well Disney and Nintendo sure do. AUTOMATON's Graham Arthur reports on NFC toys, new and upcoming developments in the field, some of the issues they've faced so far, and some of the issues bound to arise. (Part 2 of 2)
Scanning amiibo for games they're not intended for produces some rather interesting results, as one fan's experiment shows with Pokémon Rumble U.
Wow I almost forgot about this game.... hmmmmm it seems we might have pokemon balls coming soon?
This article is about the special discount Nintendo will be giving to Super Pokemon Rumble and Pokemon Rumble U starting tomorrow. The article also briefly goes into detail about the two games and what makes them stand out.
I really dislike the way people call console/PC software apps now. Can't we just leave that for tabelts and smart phones?
This game is looking good, though.
The similar term 'Killer App' has been used in video game circles long before tablets and smart phones came around.
