Rumor: 'Major' online Wii game ditching Friend Codes

Lemmiwinks casts a long, sad glance at his under-used copy of Brawl and dreams of what could have been...

About fricking time!

Now Nintendo needs to use their infinite money to make a time machine and have this be the system for all games from day one.

At least this proves there are people who care out there.

Welcome to 2001, Nintendo.

could it be this?

the tmnt smash brothers like game? (online, september 2009 release)

ubisoft - publisher
ex-team ninja members/some gamearts members - developers

That would be a great precedent to set!

Honestly I don't mind the friend code if it was limited to JUST ONE FUCKING CODE.

My bet goes on a new Zelda online title developed by an outsourced studio. Alpha Dream still going?

Well it's not surprising that a title will opt to not have friend codes since EA has already done it. But then again, they had their own servers rather than the ones used for Nintendo's service.

Its pretty much going to be Monster Hunter Tri. Capcom has mentioned in the past that they were going to model Tri's online off of 1 and 2.

How about a patch for Smash Bros.? Might actually get me to play it.

I don't understand why they can't implement some sort of way to use the Wii console code to link players together. I can fire up Metroid Prime 3 and see people on my Wii console friends list... even if they've never even played MP3. I can even send them something through MP3. Sure, they'll never get it... but the connection is there.

Their system is so ridiculously complicated. The Wii itself is all about bringing in 'non gamers' because of the intuitive controls, but their online system is almost like brain surgery.

I am surprised nobody mentioned CoD:MW2

Look the deal is friend codes wouldnt be needed if you guys would just stop trying to rape children..

Welcome to the real world of online gaming Nintendo... you know... the one where we want an easy way to meet up with our friends.

"But clearly you DO care johnny otherwise you wouldn't have spent your precious time away from your piece of shit 3 to explain it us lesser mortals..."

Ok then same goes for you and your 360 & Wii. Every minute of every day can't be spent playing games. That's just a stupid thing to say.

"Furthermore you say you don't care you yet you consistently reply to my posts and other people's posts here."

I reply to everyone's post you idiot. I was referring to not caring about you & Moptimus opinions in reference to me calling out Vagina. Do I have to spell out every fucking word for you to understand something?

"You also cry when you remain at 2 hearts and bitch/whine/moan like a little child when you GASP 1 heart and OMFG what's this!? HALF A MOTHERFREAKING HEART! Oh my goodness what is johnny gonna do with himself!?"

When do I ever mention anything about the heart system? I never even bring it up. You have seriously gotten delusional tonight.

"Bottom line is that you're an asshole. Always have been...always will be. I'm just glad you're not hiding it anymore so we can address each other with pure honestly and in a quick minute without none of the usual bullshit."

I'm just me. If you think I'm an asshole there's nothing I can do about it. I think your taking things way to personal and misinterpreted my post. You calling anyone else an asshole is laughable. All you do is come on here and talk shit to people who like different pieces of plastic than you. Why would anyone care for you when your always such a negative prick. At least when I argue with other fanboys (like sk8monroe81 who I respect unlike you) we can come to common ground and admit our faults - not you. You just continue to act like the exact stereotype you try to accuse everyone who owns a PS3 as having. Your just a big immature baby with serious anger issues.

"And yeah your family emergency must really be important since you're still on joystiq acting like an asshole. However it must be having some sorta impact since you've clearly gone over the edge...."

I don't even feel the need to respond to that trash.

Grow up you fucking baby.

Animal Crossing: Ultimate Revenge - Crossed One Last Time edition, online multuplayer FPS?


See you at Slider's! The 'K.K.' Is for Kill! Kill!


Well... Probably not.

Monster Hunter 3 or some other new game, which will be major when it is announced, maybe some new fighting game, or a new shooter. But my strong guess is Monster Hunter 3

It's Medieval Games!! Duh!!

Didn't EA do this with a bunch of their sports titles already? You use EA's own playername system instead of Nintendo's friends codes.

Final Fantasy Wiiniverse

I wish friend codes were universal and linked to the Wii console (but then again if you ever sold it then whoever bought it would get access to all your stuff....hmmm).

I dont know if anyone mentioned this but ff echos of time has a wii and ds wifi online set up. Square has been busting the fire wall for a while.

Also sonic and the black knight has a wifi tag when i went on gamestops home sites those are my guesses.
