Basically it's just a card you scan with your WiiU gamepad. Nintendo did reference the old gameboy e-reader cards when talking about this. So maybe we'll see the return of this card based way of sharing info with the WiiU gamepad NFC.

Very interesting, for the people like me who don't really give a **** about the figure itself, but how they actually work in game, this is amazing lmfao
