Sweet, though hopefully it will also be able to show when friends are playing a given game online

Here's a statement from Nintendo (taken from the VGChartz GamrFeed story)

"Fans of online play will be happy to learn that the friend codes for Nintendo 3DS are specific to each Nintendo 3DS system, not each game. Once friends trade hardware codes, at any time they can check their friends list to see which of their friends are online and what they are playing."

That actually doesn't sound too different to how PSN is now... At least the friends list part.

 

It's exactly the same shit. The only difference is that you provide your friend with a number instead of a name you picked. After that, everything can work the same way. Of course, to some it's important to try to downplay the 3DS, so there you have the reasons for the whining you see here!
