Kane99 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I remember when Amiibos and those Skylander figures were hugely popular, utilizing NFC tech to scan items and characters into select video games. I want to say the 2010s were the years it was the most popular. I don't think there are many games that utilize NFC technology these days, but do you think we'll see it make a comeback? I know the figures like Amiibos, Skylanders and other NFC devices were popular, more so because of how collectible they are. I never wanted to open any of the ones I bought, as I mainly just had them up on a shelf anyway. Do you think we'll see NFC tech utilized in the future in gaming? Or will it slowly die out and be forgotten like other gaming trends? I really think NFC tech could be implemented in many things, so I doubt it'll go away completely, but I think the toys and figures won't be made for a while again.

Debashis Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 While the popularity of NFC technology in gaming has declined in recent years, it is possible that we may see a resurgence in the future. The collectible nature of figures like Amiibos and Skylanders made them popular, but their production may be limited. However, NFC technology itself may find new applications beyond gaming. It's uncertain whether NFC in gaming will completely die out or evolve into something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I believe that with how the Amiibos and those Skylander figures used to be very popular, there will always be a good chance it's going to resurgence back up in the future when a good project that's going to give it the push it needs to come right back on top. I'm actually looking forward to when that's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Amiibos are still relatively popular as you do have some Nintendo hardcore fans that are collecting/have collected most if not all of them. I think it's just the media noise that's died down about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I think NFC could return, but the collectible toy craze might stay in the past. Future uses could be different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
