General Director of Nintendo France, Stephan Bole, told French website Le Figaro that "NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros."

NFC stands for Near Field Communication, a feature that Nintendo plans to discuss at E3. Bole was responding to a question regarding Wii U's upcoming software lineup when he mentioned Smash Bros. integration of Nintendo's Figurine Platform.

Wii U suffered last year from a lack of games, with releases that were widely spaced out. The beginning of 2014 was also quiet, what will happen after the release of Mario Kart 8? 

"Many game releases will be announced at the show at E3, but you already know that we will release the action game Bayonnetta 2. By the end of the year, there will also be new Skylanders, the new Disney Infinity, Sonic Boom, Watch Dogs and Zelda Hyrule Warriors. And on the other side of games produced by Nintendo, there will obviously be the fighting game Super Smash Bros.. E3 is also an opportunity to show the use of NFC technology [used in Skylanders and Disney Infinity, allowing the use of real objects - the figurines - in video games] in Nintendo consoles. The NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros."

The last line of the quote above was later removed from the original post -- see the screen cap below. It was later re-added. Did Bole misspeak? We've reached out to Nintendo for clarification.

I swear to God if you have to buy figures to unlock all the characters I'm not buying that shit. <_<

It's only a matter of time until a WWE game is like this...
