Any plans to update games and support? This is one of the better technologies which do not take much resources to produce.

Just read that Nintendo made the cartridges taste absolutely disgusting so kids wouldn't eat them

Well, the problem is you post so much that's you kind of have to question the origin. This IS a fair point, but it's tough to take your posts seriously. And just because you might ding Nintendo correctly here doesn't mean other things you post are "correct."

However, this is confusing because:
1) They specifically said they were done with Friend Codes, and you didn't need them for the WiiU
2) No other media person has found this until now, that's strange
3) When people say "Friend Codes" they generally mean the limitations of the old friend codes, which don't seem to be present here
4) Maybe we were all wrong because Nintendo does view this as a portable? I don't get the fits over friend codes. Yes they are tedious, and unnecessarily so, but eh, they don't affect the gameplay.
5) MAYBE the app makes this process WAY easier. Maybe that's JUST for the console. We don't have enough info yet to react. We do know the app is going to have a lot of social features, maybe easy Friend add is on there.

Edit: On Point #2, looks like this came in with the update. That explains no one finding it. Ugh, I hope this is not true.

Some people have 8-10 digit user names to search for (uhhhh me). What's another 1-3 digits? That's the way I look at it.

More clarifications:

quote:

So I gave someone else my Friend Code and had them send a request over. Once you receive the request, you get a notification with their Username and Icon. You then have the option to Become Friends, Decline Request, or Block. If you Become Friends, the connection is done. It doesn't look like you both have to trade codes.


From Neogaf. So it's one way maybe?

Like I said, old limitations...you both had to have a friend code and input it into the DS.

I'm amused over the fact that you can't turn the system off via remote. That seems like an oversight.
