| shams said: I like this "Friends of friends" idea - if Nintendo implemented something like that for system codes (so you could automatically see friends-of-friends, and maybe have the option to add them) - that could just about fix the entire FC system. |
Except this pretty much neuters any attempt for team based online play. This isn't HVS's fault as we know, and they clearly say this isn't ideal but they are obligated to follow Nintendo guidelines. As I've said before, Nintendo's WiiSpeak implementation requiring friend codes (or friends of friends or whatever) shows that nintendo chooses family friendliness at the expense of online functionality. Given the focus this game in particular has on online MP, that's a bad thing. This is kinda sad as any game, no matter how great has to conform to these standards on the Wii.
Just as an example, if a VGC league started and it had twelve members who all had WiiSpeak, each person would have to add eleven friend codes just to be able to hear everyone, assuming nobody is friends yet. That's just absurd.
