I'd like to welcome everyone to the newly rebranded NFC Generation! We are still working on a few things like cleaner graphics, some colors, icons, and Google Wallet support, but we feel ready enough to do a soft launch while we work out those finishing touches.

In the mean time, we have a quick video to show off one of the coolest new features that the site is going to offer! The video was made while this was still in production, so please don't mind the old look.



In the video, the first tap corresponds to the main logo in the upper left hand corner. This will launch the website automatically on your phone or tablet that has NFC on board. The second tap, however is a little different. As you can see I tapped the Google Play icon. If you tap the icon with your phone and the app is installed already, the NFC Generation app will automatically launch. If the app is not installed (shame on you!), it will take you to the Google Play Store so you can install it!

We hope that you will use the new technology that we have built in to share RF Generation with friends and help promote both the site and the Android app with your friends!

Super sweet!
 
This is great news! And about time too, with so many sites using NFC as their primary interface nowadays.
 
Compliment for job well done.
 
I messed around with some of the features (yes on my windows phone) and it is really cool.
Can't wait for the collection app to make it onto the MS Marketplace since Google Play obviously doesn't work for me...
 
Wow! Now I really need to get New 3DS to take advantage of all these nifty new features.
 
That's awesome. I wish I didn't have an iPhone now...
 
@wazlife: iPhone 6 and 6+ have NFC.
 
Sounds awesome!  We need a RFGen app for the Amazon phone!
 
I'm not as much into the skylanders or infinity but I always welcome a change to amiibos.  I even have NFC on my note 3 so I can't wait to try out the new functionality of the site! Smiley
 
My god, I must live under a rock. This is the first I've heard of NFC, Infinity, or Amiigo.
 
What is NFC?
 
@leej07: Near Field Communication. Same technology that lets Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Amiibo, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet work.
 
Can we please keep the blue layout?
 
About time we saw that sweet, sweet Google Wallet support.  I've only been harping on this cor like, three years or something.
 
When does the NES NFC reader come out? So hyped!

As much as the world has changed, our still somewhat niche spot as gamers has adapted to the times as well as the games. We have created our online museum of our past. We share our experiences about the present. And we will evolve together as the gaming community continues to change. I hope to write about some of my experiences with gaming, as well as on some topics that were not directly relevant to me, but to the community or you personally.
