Nintendo of America has confirmed that those irritating twelve digit friend codes are now a thing of the past with Wii U. The company told Destuctoid that they’re being replaced with a much more user-friendly Account ID system. We already know that this will be known as your Nintendo Network ID, but it’s good to get some official clarification all the same.
“Our plan is replace Friend Codes with a much more user-friendly Account ID system, which employs user-created account names.”

Bet with ninjablade: 1 month sig control. He wins if the PS4 outsells the Wii U 2:1, I win if it doesn't. Based on the first 6 months of both consoles.

Wasn't it gonna be an ID and a code? I thought that was better cuz your code would be unique and you could have any ID you wanted, i.e. no need to add random numbers/letters at the end of your name.

Innovation at its finest. Nintendo always ahead of the competition.
