IGN? Can't be true, then.

Pretty much.

 

Would be nice though...

I never understood why you couldn't use just the console code itself, actually.
Then again, I don't see this happening anytime soon.

Wii Connect 24/WiFi Connection. Wii Connect 24 is a passive connection, and is a mostly separate network. WiFi Connection is an active connection, but one that is totally uncentralized, merely serving as a method for networking each game individually.

 

It's structural problems that hold it back.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Nintendo getting a grasp at the 21st century? *gasp*

So by not following the PC model for online multiplayer, they are stuck in the 20th century?

It's been available for a long time, why making it complicated with archaic technology?

Meh, why am I even asking. They used cartridges for a long time before switching to CDs/DVDs, so I'm guessing it's not rare of them to be a little bit behind the newest technologies out there.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I would love if that were true. Should be a unique name tied to your Mii for all games.

Well, I'd prefer they'd ditch Wii Connect 24 then. Or whatever. As long as they get rid of the friendcodes.

i'd actually play online with people if this was true

Mario Kart Wii doesn't count, i play that game even WITH the damn codes, though i've probably never played with the same peson twice.

That's not true...unless you mean something different by it being uncentralized?



I thought the 360 system of adding friends and such was easy, but once I got to saving games and moving information from one 360 to the other,things got terrible.

It is a confusing and frustrating thing wen you have more than 2 profiles on any 360. If this friend code abolition thing actually came true, and a single "system" code was the main focus, I would jump for joy......

Well, my Rockband 2 data has been overwritten and my Live account/profile is all over the place. The stuff shouldn't be this complicated.....
