Nintendo Abolishes Multi-Friend Code Headache

Image from Joystiq
Gone are the days of having to find different friend codes for every fucking Nintendo game you own. At least for the upcoming 3DS, anyway. Nintendo did what they should have done years ago, announcing that the 3DS will have one universal friend code, with the bonus of not having to use codes if the systems are sharing the same Wi-Fi. This is the step that will finally make Nintendo at least somewhat of an equal in the online multiplayer field. It's about time that they fixed this, but apparently, they're only doing it for the 3DS, I guess we'll have to wait for Nintendo's next home console to be on par with the 360 and PS3. I guess we shouldn't be to hard on Nintendo, after all, it only took them 5 years to figure out that they had a bad online setup.

  1. Great with specifics as always and a strong argument put succinctly. However, how different in voice would you say this is from your other pieces?

  2. I normally don't get as mad as I do in this piece. Video games aren't really too worth getting frustrated over, but the previous friend code system did really limit my online play with Nintendo consoles.
