Nintendo: Friend codes are here to stay, no hard drive planned

http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=22282

Yep. Kinda sucks they dont have plands for Hard-Drive, but... to be perfectly honest, are there complaints on people getting their Wii’s bloated in info? I mean, I have over 12 Wii games and my internal memory still hasn’t filled up, when it does, there are always Memory Cars like SD and Micro SD cards. The GC didn’t require any hard drive...

As for the friend codes, i can’t really comment but, dont you use this to get info on friends and not having random people in ur list? They are saved as Mii’s arent they? so it would be the same as having a nickname.

Besides, many games coming out for the Wii have online with no friend-code reuirements, but rather optional (e.g. Brawl).

i hate frend codes...it’d be easier just to have ur own name and when ur frend is looking for u they just type out ur name and add u...


well at least it says some games wont have frend codes...

Well I’m still hoping for each mii to have its own individual friend code. But right now only one game has used friend codes that is tied to the Mii, MSC. So if BWII use Miis then we’ll see if the Mii single friend code thing is true.

Oh and in spite of NIntendo a Hard Drive is going to come. Most likely packed in with Nintendo’s first MMO game, developed by them. Don’t quote me on this but you heard it first here.

Alrighty then.

Yep.

Sure.

At least some of the online games coming to the wii are not part of the FC problem like MOHH2.

I don’t really have a big problem with friend codes, but that’s probly 'cause I’m not online much, or I don’t have enough friends. lol

The online games for Nintendo are still very fun, I just think they should give the option of FCs by just having someone on your list as a fighting friend by meeting them randomly by seraching and have the FCs just for exchanging most info with each other like personal playing records and other wi-fi titles they play.

Well Nintendo isn’t going to do away with the friend codes but its obvious Nintendo created a free market, meaning devs have the option to create any kinda online setup. I actually like that as it allows for developer creativity.

the no hard drive i dont care about, i had what 60 gamecube games with only 3 memory cards....no hard drive.

alright the clans are back!!!! Lets revive the game section!

Still have SD cards which now is plenty enough room for you average Wii functions. Not to mention if you are crowded with VC game storage simply delete the games. I mean once you download it on the Wii Shop channel its yours forever. If after you delete it you want to play it again then simply go download it again, but its free still cause you already payed for it. Basically meaning you can have an infinite amout of VC games at your disposable and never run out of room.

its the same on Live when you buy something once its free from now on, of course on that particular profile.

I know that’s just such a nifty little feature to have as you never have to worry about running out of room. Kudos to Nintendo and MS.

i wonder what its like on sonys online network.

It’s like trying to swim through a sea of crap, but it’s set up so badly, it’s almost not a sea, like almost a large flat mound.
