User blog comment:BlackLodge/Smash Bros. 4, pt 2 - A Different Kind of Smash / Wii U/@comment-4237188-20120710150800

Me and my friend were discussing your blog yesterday and we came up with a pretty good idea for the NFC. It would be collectible figures (Skylanders-esque as you suggested) which would likely be the playable characters, bosses (At least Master & Crazy hand), and possibly items (Or just some like Sandbag). The tablet (Correct me if i'm wrong) has it's own "Portal of Power" built into it's screen. One would place the figure on the tablet, and then a display would come up on the TV screen featuring Quality Images and Concept art (If any exists) of the character/item that the figure is of, and A detailed background and history of the character's appearances. This would supplement the usually lacking trophy descriptions, as well as implement the figures in a way that makes them collectible and attractive but not critically important to gameplay (So as not to alienate those who don't want to buy them) This would make them appeal to collectors, die hard fans, and even us Wiki editors, who would love those quality images and detailed information. In short nintendo would make millions off of these figures.

I wish nintendo would read this.
