Re: Nintendo Takes it a Step Further with Wii Codes! Yay!

The Wii is a waste of money and space anyways, sell it and buy something better with the money.

Then you're against the majority of this world. Because.... well... Just see the charts for yourself.

Thank goodness it isn't mandatory to enjoy Online Brawl.

Anyways, I can't wait to try out the Stage Builder: I know I'm just going to spend hours on end tinkering with it; whether I can send them to others or not, I don't care all too much.

Funny how people still need to bash on other systems for no reason what so ever :p

Usually the people that bash a system for no reasons are the same people the deep down really wish to actually own the system, but wont suck up there pride and buy one.

Raydeus, well, it is a game that you either love or hate.

I mean, the only people I'VE ever met that hate it are godless communist killing machines, but hey, I'm sure you're different.

I agree, Smash Bros., particularly Brawl, is like, the gamers' game. Brawl is like, ultimate fanservice edition of the universe. I suppose I can understand if you don't like it, but I'm sure that means you kick puppies.

You can't prove anything! <_<;

yeah at least I have reasons why I don't want a PS3 or a 360 -.-

PS3 = cost to much and has unneeded tech (blue-ray)
360 = shotty hardware ( yeah I said it)

I mean come on.... a system that costs way to much for unneeded tech, or a system that breaks on you every 6 months -.-

but anyway back on topic ;p This new feature to make our own levels so great ^.^

Friend Codes are evil. I can see why Nintendo wants to protect kids, but it's just way over the top. At least make the bloody things universal so that you don't have to re-register your same friends for different games.

I could counter with plenty of reasons the Wii sucks, but I own one so it wouldn't do much good.

Both good points, but Nintendo's lack of focus in a number of areas, particularly online, is their glaring weakness. I had hoped for eventual building up of a more proper network over time, but quotes such as this have me concerned.

But the way that we think about friend codes is, when folks are online, and they want to play, they typically want to play with their friends. And so, they want to keep it to groups of people they know. We've seen, in the feedback we've gotten, that people don't mind the friend codes. They like them, because it keeps them playing with the friends that they do know, and it keeps their games "undisturbed," if you will.

This was in response to an inquiry about Capcom's Monster Hunter 3, which was recently moved from PS3 platform to Wii. Not to sound like a party pooper for the millions more Wii owners out there to get the chance to experience the Monster Hunter franchise, the addition of online play to the series (finally) is going to be extremely hampered by the crapfest that is the Friend Code. Imagine having to enter friend codes to play with people on Phantasy Star Universe or Diablo 2.

Not to disagree with you (because I don't), but I'll say I don't think I'll ever "miss" the experience of joining a game of Diablo 2 and getting insta-spammed with textchat "................. ......................... ..................." and "TPTPTPTPTPTPTPTP". Long-time Battle.Net players will know what I mean.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean, but I can't imagine playing a game like that and being forced to play only with people you know, or playing with random people you've never met coupled with absolutely no communication. I sincerely hope Nintendo has a solution to the problem they've built for themselves in respect to that game, or the online functionality will be broken.

I am sure the online for MH3 will be the same as it has been for the first 2, Nintendo said that third party companies do not have to use FCs at all, they just encourage it. but yeah I hate FC as well -.- they suck
