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.

Yours sounds no better lol. You completely assumed the system was just like the 3DS version. It says like the 3DS, WiiU will feature friend codes. So did the Wii and DS.
