So it works just like PSN and Live? You can befriend anyone... makes sense to me.


is that what you got out of that? 

Like the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U will feature friend codes so that strangers won’t be able to purposely harass dutiful gamers. You can, however, be Wii U buddies with strangers via Miiverse, according to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata. Iwata says Wii U players can friend people on Miiverse who share similar interests.

sounds to me like wii U has a 3ds like friend code system with the additional ability to be "mii verse" friends inside of miiverse.  to me that means there is an extra layer of complexity to find a person on miiverse to pre-exchange friend codes before going into a game.  in psn i can get hookup inside of a game with a random, decide they are a fun person to play with, and then friend them directly from the list of "met players".  simplier and easier.  but hey, in the right directly at least.
