Hmm, I think I see why Nintendo keeps Friend Codes...

As a parent with young children friends code are a godsend, I know who they are playing against and I'm much more likely to endorse on-line gaming.

Nintendo have it right, friends codes avoid the x-box live situation with those idiots.

As an adult i want to play with everyone all over the world. Nintendo should make this friend code system a parental control option. Even though i love both the Wii and the DS i HATE Nintendos Online policy.

Most parents aren't smart enough to do it themselves

Well I am, and I'm sure you are too.  Your kids are probably going through much worse at school than could ever happen in an online video game.
