I really don't mean to put a damper in everyones Wii fiesta, but when will Nintendo get with the program when it comes to online gaming?  Sure there will be hits like Pokemon and SSBB, but most likely it will all be done through friend codes.  I think it's complete laziness for Nintendo to do away with the random online battles.  If i want to play with any of my friends, i would simply go to their house.  And how many Ds games have actualy done such a thing? I can only think of three off the top of my head, Mario Kart, and Metroid.  Pokemon completely took a dump on the online play as well, psh friend codes.  Who needs em'?

You should try playing Halo 2 online. After that, you will be on your knees, begging for friend codes...

I'm completely fine with Xbox live, if anyone bothers me, them give em' the mute and i'll carry on.  Or just leave, but when will i ever be a able to have a 16 player match with anyone on a Nintendo system.  Come on big 'N' even Sony has a better online gaming establishment than you!

I originally thought it'd be cool to have random online gameplay with any player, but then you wouldn't know who you're facing, and you could get in trouble. With friend codes, you know who you're playing, and then you can brag a them over the message boards, lol.

Well on Xbox live you can also make parties of people who YOU actualy want to play with, you don't always have to battle random people, but with Nintendo they make it difficult to play with people who actualy want to play.  Why not atleast create your own name? There isn't a real reason why they decided to do this, there's other ways to keep the kid touchers away from the kids!

Friend Codes don't bother me too much. If I wanted to make friends, I wouldn't do it through a videogame.
