Why All The Friend Codes

I hate friend codes. I just want somebody to tell me why nintendo makes us use friend codes. It is very inconvenient for me because all my other friends own other consoles. What about the adults who play wii do? Friends codes will be the death of online play especially if i can only smack talk on SSBB to my friends

Nintendo never forced us to use friend codes; you have a choice. You can play the Wii offline if that's what you enjoy more.

What exactly did you want them to use instead?

Are you saying you want to send messages to your friends who have other consoles? Do you know the Wii has its own email address that is w_________@wii.com (put your friend code in the blank)

no what i am saying is i don't think they're are going to let ppl chat w/o their friend code just like the NDS and i do want to play online badly rlly rlly badly. friend codes are okay when it comes to your friends what about the people you don't kno how can you talk to them ? well i don't kno how to explain it correctly but i'll just have to wait for online to play to come which is Pokemon it shudd have been Wii Sports

You aren't making much sense. How does chatting with other people have to do with friend codes?

How do people with PS3 chat with 360 users and why can't you do the same?

Look up information on how Mario Strikers online play works and you might not be so worried.

Friend codes mean that you can only connect your wii to someone elses if you both agree to it........ stops spammers and paedos having access to you.

Having to input ANOTHER code for each game does seem a waste of time.....why couldn't the software have read the existing wii code and automatically used that?

Not all games use friend codes, Madden isnt as its using that companys server. Not sure how it'll work without them mind. ANd friend codes aint that bad..if you don't want them, just play random people.

I don't know if there is online chat but it would sure suck typing with the Wiimote pointer

Madden uses the "EA Nation Persona" accounts for online play (guess its the same account used in all their older games?)

I can't see there being chat for a while. I'm glad anyway, I don't want to talk to a random person while playing Strikers...I'd just feel awkward to be honest.
