The only horrible thing Nintendo did for it's online was that danmed WEP security connection for the DS - who in hell uses that shit, even in 2004-2005 when the DS launched. Not using WPA is the thing that made me use the DS online just a handful of times - literally.

I don't care much, don't like online very much, but other than that, all things they done are ok... not the better, but acceptable, like the 3DS and Wii. Nobody will die because of friend codes.

Er, wow. Is it bad that I've had a DS since launch and had no idea it had online capability all this time? Maybe I'm just forgetting..
