Stephan Bole, general manager of Nintendo France, confirmed in conversation with French newspaper Le Figaro, has confirmed that the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will take advantage of the recently revealed NFP (minitiature plastic figurines) technology.
"Beaucoup de sorties de jeux seront officialisés lors du salon de l'E3, mais vous savez déjà que nous allons sortir le jeu d'action Bayonnetta 2. D'ici à la fin de l'année, il y aura également le nouveau Skylanders, le nouveau Disney Infinity, Sonic Boom, Watch Dogs ou Zelda Hyrule Warriors. Et du côté des sorties de jeux produits par Nintendo, il y aura évidemment le jeu de combat Super Smash Bros. L'E3 sera aussi l'occasion de montrer l'utilisation de la technologie NFC [technologie utilisée dans Skylanders et Disney Infinity, permettant d'utiliser des objets réels - ici, des figurines - dans des jeux vidéo] dans les consoles Nintendo. Le NFC sera utilisé dans la version Wii U de Super Smash Bros."
Run through Google Translate (my school French is sadly not up to translation work 15 years after the fact):
"Many games release will be formalized 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 the new Skylanders the new Disney Infinity, Sonic Boom, Watch Dogs or Zelda Hyrule Warriors. And on the output 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 - here, figurines - in video games] in Nintendo consoles. The NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros."
Maybe Bole spoke a little out of turn, but expect Super Smash Bros. to be part of the full unveiling of Nintendo's NFP plans next month at E3.
