According to 1UP, Iwata also stated that Nintendo would attempt to streamline the matchmaking process in Mario Kart Wii. We'll go ahead and put in a "second" for that "no friend codes" request, futile though it may seem.

Let me be the first to say, "Fuck off, kiddie". The site doesn't need any of you dumbass 'firsties'... really, no site needs them, and I don't understand the logic behind posting 'FIRST' anyway.

I'm sorry. Nobody gets to pick any cool characters until I'm done with all of them. And if I happen to like all the characters, you'll have to let me do the first race solo to test out a track. I got dibs man. And I can SENSE if you play without me.

I feel like I already knew this. But still, I'm really looking forward to this game, too. The Wii is finally getting some big games.

Glad to know that there's actually an attempt on Nintendo's part to make the online experience a bit better. I hope Voice Chat is included, because I'm speculating that thats one of the things Brawl was delayed for... boy, I hope I'm right.

Snaking is the one feature of the Mario Kart franchise that I desperately hope gets left back with the pit crew.

I honestly don't see what's wrong with it.
Why does no one else complain about all the similar moves in Melee?

I stopped playing Mario Kart DS because of snaking. I used to race under the name Snake=D/C
I know that I could have snaked as well, but it just wasn't fun to me.

Oh, YES! Online Mario Kart just became more awesome. However, there is a bigger online Multiplayer on NWC than this: Metal of Honor: Heroes 2.

I am happy they didn't make it 16 players as that sounded a little chaotic and confusing. I cant wait for this game and the battle modes. It sure has been a good week with all the announcements.

"Largest Mario Kart effort" yet? 16 Player Double Dash with the LAN adapter was pretty large, and it was a very good time.

Still don't understand what exactly is wrong with friend codes. You can add a nickname when you enter it in, it's not like you need to memorize the code or anything. I just don't see the issue here.

Seriously, and it's not like you NEED friend codes to play online, just to find your friends. And since you've probably added your friends' system codes already, even if just for the Mii sharing features, for most people this won't be an issue. I'm pretty sure there are no per-game friend codes except for that Pokemon game, and that was only so it would be compatible with the DS versions.

I think friend codes are annoying and unnecessary. Something like the Xbox Live Gamertags makes much more sense. However, that doesn't stop me from being ridiculously excited for this game and its multiplayer mayhem!

Umm... surely Medal of Honor's 32 player multiplayer is a bigger effort than Mario Kart's 12?
