Did he just say 'FRIEND CODES ARE BACK' oh NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said they were different in relation to what 3DS offered due to its primary user base being younger. However, that does not mean WiiU will use them as I am confident Nintendo's attempt is to push it on the more mature market.

Additionally, having a single number tied to a user for all games is no different than having a gamertag or PSN ID with the exception being your personal creativity. However, with Nintendo's approach, you'll probably have your Mii Character (tied to a number) that is automatically tied to each publishers/devs online solution, based on Nintendo's comments that each dev could define their online experience.

Personally, not an issue FAR better than friend codes per game as well as fully capable to match or exceed any feature in PSN/Live.

With a name like wii U, I doubt they are even trying. Why a number? Is it that hard to make them into letters?
