Nintendo is threatening its fan sites all across the internet. Nintendo is trying to close these websites down because of copyright infringements.

http://digg.com/nintendo/Nintendo_Sh..._Own_Fan_Sites

Nintendo has already threatened two websites:

http://nintendo-play.com

And my home,
http://friendcodes.com

Whether this is an April Fool's joke or not is unclear, but yield to the possibility that this site may be closed down.

I think it's a joke, but the admins and all the staff over at Friendcodes is taking this seriously. I just thought I'd spread the word across the other Nintendo websites that I'm registered at what's going on.

No
But im used to PRANKS by games mags/games sites/games companys
Gose into Okish attrenoy mode



There is no substanshall evedence
  • Its not from Nintendo own site
  • If there was no ware for people to get FCs it whould be pointless
  • Its not a offical nintendo site
  • Wheres the linkage to the press realese
  • Site that clames its true
The fact that the peson that posted it on the site linked said he got a email and dose not picture it
It all adds up to a big fake April fools

Sadly, I believe you. I was once a former member of Nintendo NSiders before it was shutdown. On that forum, there was absolutely no FC sharing allowed. It could get you banned in a flash. So, I really wouldn't be surprised at this.

If it were anyone other than Nintendo, I'd have dismissed it as an early April Fools straight away. But they really are paranoid about online gaming, and their copyrights.

I don't know if the admins can do this, but back up all of the forum.
Second, lets make a secondary forum. It won't be used but it will be a place for us to get back together if the site does get shut down...

Nintendo: "We're against globalization...lolz"

If you ask me, this is a poor move on their part as the sharing of friend codes will not harm anyone.

Regarding WiiChat:

From my understanding, unless an email is sent to i0n regarding this issue the friend codes exchange will be kept going. However, if i0n does receive an email regarding the issue of exchanging friend codes it may come to us as a striking blow as many of our newer members join for the purpose of making new friends and exchanging codes.

We could use a legally distinct term ("Console numbers"?) instead?

I would agree.... However, even the Nsider forums had a rule that prohibited the exchanging of friends codes between members. Thus, any member seeing doing so would be possibly banned.
