I know nothing about Nintendo online services. How good is that actually, and how it worked before?

Well Nintendo DS and Wii both require friend codes for online gameplay. This means a code found in every game you then enter the code and add friends by entering each friends codes individually. Now rather then using a dozen codes per game to play your friends you'll only have to enter one code per friend rather then one per game.

Basically the best way to describe it, is instead of PSN Name or XBL name, we are one set of numbers. Before we were a bunch of set of numbers. Also this is actually good news for me because my friends are douches who like putting xBLAHx.

(given I want a system where I can put the names of my friends as whatever the hell I want..but their ID is their unique thing).
