Ancel on Rayman Legends’ NFC experiment, believes the feature can be innovative

Before Rayman Legends was officially announced, an internal video leaked demonstrated how the game could take advantage of the Wii U’s NFC functionality. This feature won’t be making it into the final game, but Rayman creator Michel Ancel does believe in NFC’s promise.

Ancel told ONM:

“We didn’t announce this officially and it was more the kind of experiment we do when working on new hardware like the Wii U. We had prototypes of this and we believe that having real objects manipulating gameplay could be quite innovative. But again, this was a prototype and we won’t discuss it until it’s ready to demonstrate its full potential.”
