... and people wonder why Nintendo choose the friend-code system.

Well, Nintendo doesn't really have the same amount of online games that the PS3 and 360 has, so yes, I do wonder about the Friend-code system.  I mean, they should not have the friend code system.  If people don't want that to happen, use the parental settings like on the PS3 and 360 instead of hurting millions of people who just want to play games, and not have a separate code for every single game to play online.  It's parent's jobs to make sure of what their kids are doing while online.  The same way that parents can have privacy settings on the computer is the same way it's on the PS360.  Ninty just made things over-complicated.

 

 You have a point but I don't think Nintendo sees it take way.  While it's true it's the parents responsibility we all know a lot of parents are totally negligant when it comes to kids and entertainment.  They let their 8 yr olds watch R movies (at home), and play M games.    Nintendo feels they also have an obligation and want to take the burden off the (often ignorant) parents by making their system kid-friendly to begin with.
