Not sure if core Nintendo fans will take to it. I still am in that crowd that believes that Nintendo and online are light years behind everyone else.

I suppose you don't care about the online improvements that they made with the 3DS.

Actually please enlighten me (seriously). I am known as a 360 fan but I have purchased every Nintendo handheld since Gameboy. Havent got a 3DS yet, but I remember what a pain in the ass it was when playing Mario Kart DS or Metroid Prime Hunters online.

Friends codes are now basically the same as Live and PSN.  You add your friend's system code once and then you can play any online game with them without having to enter in codes for each game like the Wii.  The eshop is decently improved with demos, user ratings, ability to purchase full 3DS games (only a few are available right now like NSMB2, Art Academy and Crossword Puzzle Plus).  Added the ability to join your friends game when you see them playing online from the 3DS Friends list.  Basically, they have caught up to Microsoft and Sony in my opinion.
