I can respect and appreciate the need to protect young children playing online, and I even think friend codes are a good idea, in theory. However, I don't need one for every damn game! If I'm comfortable playing with this person in Brawl, what makes you think I'm not comfortable playing with them in Medal of Honour?
Although, with their 'upstreaming', and with each new first-party online game offering slightly better online features, I think we'll soon be seeing unified friend codes for all new games. I mean, think about it:
-with Battallion Wars, there was nothing.
-Then Brawl allowed you to have four preprogrammed messages for use in fights.
-Endless Ocean let you draw pictures or words with a small amount of 'ink'
-Then Mario Kart allowed you to type messages to friends between games. -Now Animal Crossing is introducing voice chat to these new players.
I think the next logical step in easing the new gamers into online play is to make it easier (somewhat) to keep playing with the same people over different games.
In fact, remove 'I think' from the previous sentence--it's true.
