In an example of a game system, based on saved data of a plurality of players, a plurality of player characters are generated, and based on an operation on each of a plurality of operation devices, one of the player characters corresponding to the operation device is controlled in a virtual space. The game system can set any of the plurality of player characters as a main character, set the other player character as a sub characters, switch the main character and the sub character. Then, the game system controls a field of view of the game so that at least the main character is included in the field of view. The game system generates a game image based on the field of view to be displayed on a display device.

Game system, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein game program, information processing apparatus, and game processing method

An example of an information processing system includes a plurality of game machines, a smartphone, and a server system. Game processing is performed in the game machines, and information based on the game processing is transmitted to the server system. The server system totalizes the information transmitted from the respective game machines, and transmits a totalization result to the smartphone. In the smartphone, the received totalization result is displayed on a screen.

Information processing system and information processing method

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable game program executed by a computer incorporating a near field radio communication function causes the computer to perform acts including reading, by establishing near field radio communication with an information storage medium, first data stored in that information storage medium, registering the read first data, reading, by establishing near field radio communication with an information storage medium after registration of the first data, second data stored in that information storage medium, and progressing game processing when the second data matches with the first data.

Non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer readable game program, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and game processing method

An object control section according to one embodiment moves a player object in a virtual space according to an operation performed by a user. When the player object has reached a predetermined position in the virtual space by the operation performed by the user, the object control section issues a read instruction to a communication control section. The communication control section transmits radio wave to a storage medium when receiving the read instruction. When the radio wave is received, electromotive force is generated in the storage medium, and information stored in the storage medium is read by an information processing apparatus.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having information processing program stored therein, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus capable of near field wireless communication with an information storage medium includes a reading/writing module which reads and/or writes data from and/or into first and second information storage media by establishing near field wireless communication with the first and second information storage media and a data processing module which processes data read as a result of reading of data from the first and second information storage media by a first application program executed by the information processing apparatus. The data processing module performs first processing affecting progress of a game based on the data read from the first information storage medium and performs second processing not affecting progress of the game based on the data read from the second information storage medium.

Systems and methods varying how virtual objects are used in games based on different storage medium types

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program, the information processing program causing a computer to function as a reading module which reads data from an information storage medium by establishing near field wireless communication with the information storage medium, a first processing module which executes a first application program generating second data with the use of first data read by the reading module, a writing module which writes the second data into the information storage medium by establishing near field wireless communication with the information storage medium, and a second processing module which executes a second application program different from the first application program with the use of the second data read by the reading module.

Non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer readable information processing program allowing use of data in storage medium among different application programs, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and method of controlling information processing apparatus

An example information-processing device includes: a first display controller that displays one or more objects in a virtual space; a first accepting unit that accepts a instruction to select one of the one or more displayed objects displayed by the first display controller; a second accepting unit that accepts shared information; and a posting unit that posts the shared information accepted by the second accepting unit, associated with the object selected by the first accepting unit, to an information sharing service for sharing information among a plurality of users.

Information-processing device, information-processing system, storage medium, and information-processing method

An information processing system includes an information storage medium and first and second information processing apparatuses capable of near field wireless communication. The first information processing apparatus includes a first data processing module which performs predetermined processing caused by execution of an application program by the first information processing apparatus and a first writing module which writes environmental data generated through the predetermined processing into the information storage medium by establishing near field wireless communication with the information storage medium. The second information processing apparatus includes a first reading module which reads data from the information storage medium by establishing near field wireless communication with the information storage medium and a second data processing module which processes the environmental data read as a result of reading of the data from the information storage medium caused by execution of an application program by the second information processing apparatus.
