'The Conduit' Team Looking For Alternatives To Wii Friend Codes

Posted by Brian Leahy - Wednesday, October 29, 2008 1:43 PM

High Voltage Software, the developers of The Conduit, are reportedly looking for an alternative to Nintendo's Friend Code System on the Wii.

The Friend Code System has come under fire from gamers and the press for being needlessly complicated. It makes multiplayer gaming with friends a chore on the Wii, unlike Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network.

Chief Creative Officer of High Voltage, Eric Nofsinger, says that, "It’s something where we need to continue to work with [Nintendo] closely, and figure out something that does hit what they need, but also hits what we need as gamers, you know?"

If they find an alternative, and Nintendo utilizes that in other games...

Hope so.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

They would need to use a server to avoid using friend codes. Does SEGA at least have servers of their own?

Doubtful. Sega does not have its own servers. (Chrizum)

Maybe they can come up with something though like what VV did with GH:WT and SD cards.

^^^^ they had servers setup for the gamecube game Phantasy Star Online : Ep 1&2 don't see why they can't now. Think they ran their own servers for some of the 2K series game too .
