Nintendo introduces NFC technology in Wii U controllers

Yes, apparently, the next-generation Xbox and Playstation will not be available soon. And there's nothing to be done - you have to wait. But Wii U is already there, and now developers are trying to do everything to improve this console. Recently, it was announced that Near Field Communication (NFC) technology will be built into the controllers of this gaming console. So with the help of the controller it will be possible to make small payments.

In general, since it is more a tablet than a game controller, the imagination of developers creates more and more new ideas about how to use these devices. Now - added NFC, maybe in the future they will come up with something else. Unfortunately, now NFC is not yet very widespread, even in the “homeland”, but soon this system will obviously become more popular. Moreover, an increasing number of developers are introducing NFC into their gadgets.

By the way, the idea of ​​introducing NFC into the game console is quite interesting. After all, a gamer will be able to carry out micropayments necessary for the game, without interrupting his device. In this case, there will be no threat that someone out of teenage gamers used a mother’s or father’s credit card, and spent many thousands of dollars on some virtual accessories.

So far, there is no more detailed information on the NFC in the controller, but Nintendo developers soon promised to provide all the necessary data.
