Ever since we found out that the Wii U's GamePad controller would support NFC, it's always seemed likely that Nintendo would use the technology to capitalize on the popularity of Activision's Skylanders — the dominating multiplatform franchise that gets kids to buy figurines which appear in the game on screen. It now appears that the first game to do so will be Pokemon Scramble U, a downloadable title due to be released for the Wii U on April 24th for 1,800 yen (about $19). The information comes from Japanese magazine Corocoro Comic, scans of which are floating around the internet.
