<p>Earlier this year, a leaked trailer (or &#8220;concept video&#8221; as Ubisoft called it) suggested that Rayman Legends would launch with amazing NFC capabilities in which you could place a toy/figure onto the Wii U gamepad and get help in the game such as extra life, characters and other means of assistance.</p>
<p>This feature is not coming in Rayman Legends according to creative director Michel Ancel.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t announce this officially and it was more the kind of experiment we do when working on new hardware like the Wii U&#8221;</em>, Ancel discussed in an interview with <a href="http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/44214/rayman-legends-director-wii-u-nfc-could-be-quite-innovative/">The Official Nintendo Magazine UK</a>. <em>&#8220;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&#8217;t discuss it until it&#8217;s ready to demonstrate its full potential&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>Are you for or against NFC? Ever since the success of Skylanders, developers can&#8217;t be blamed for considering almost physical-like DLC options for fans&#8230; can they?</p>
