Nitendo should make the smart decision and make the Wii have gamertags or ID's like the 360

friend codes are longer are anoying u cant remember them and u dont carry it around in ur pocket

gamertags are easy to remember much shorter than friend codes

and u also have a different code for each game and with a gamertag u just have one for everything

and also it is hardeer for friends to play on the wii because you have to wait for registration to play that means u both have to b on at the same time and both have to have eachothers codes in

Just think about it you have a friends list for everything not for certain games you dont have long and anoying codes and how much easier it would be to play wit ur friends

they dont need to be called gamertags they can call them Wii ID's

It would be nice if they had tags, but now that it's been out for almost 2 years, they might as well stay. I've got a few friends already added on all of my wi-fi games so I'd also hate having to delete them all after adding them. I've got around 25 on Brawl alone and my MKW is growing pretty quickly as well.

Definitly change it to gamertags. That'd be much better, and easier.

WRONG, WRONG, I remember them, and I do carry them in my pocket in case I forget. Got them all on this secret thing that I call a cell phone, google it. Also, personal opinion in regard to FCs being annoying, which I don't think they are.

EDIT: Just in case you decide to call me a fanboy and a hater that doesn't know about the ease of gamertags, look at my sig first.

Nintendo had their reason when they created FC and I don't think it was to protect children, I guess we will find out sooner or later

No, the Wii's service is the only one that's for adults

We don't need to change it to the junior high level.

I also hate phone numbers, long annoying things that you can't remember and can't carry them around in your pocket.. but you can carry words around in your pocket? I'm pretty sure if I look in my pocket there are no words in there.

Dude, stop complaining. Wii Friends Codes are fine. If you want friends then message people on Gamespot. Ask them for theirs and give them yours. It's twelve numbers. Of course it's gunna be difficult. But use resources. Paper and Pencil? Cell Phone? Text on computer? I don't think it takes much to take a picture of your friend code on your phone. That was you always have it on you. It's not hard and it's already been like this for two years. I'm use to it. It doesn't bother me.

I get what he's saying though. If we could get something similiar to gamertags, it would be easier to communicate to friends. But at this point, the Wii's online is so vastly different from the other consoles that we would be making a pretty dramatic change.

Nintendo online sucks really bad. Friend codes are pathetic. Don't get me wrong...I play MK online a lot, it's just not what it could be.

Lack of voice chat, gamertags...makes me feel like I have no identity online.

Why can't the friend code be exclusive to the console? You're right. It should be. I don't want 832 friend codes for 832 different games. 1 friend code would be fine even, IMO.

A universal code would be great.I'm still scratching my head as to why Nintendo has an address code for the console itself,yet every game has its own individual code,as well...

You're not the first to say this, and you won't eb the last. Nobody likes friend codes, (except Jaysonguy, but we wont go in to that), but Nintendo are totally oblivious to how online should work in this day and age. Maybe in 10 years or so we'll have a service to match the competition, but for now just put up with what Ninty is trying with.

Although Gamertags would be great the Wii has been out for too long for something like that to be made.

I think gamer tags would be better because they are easier to remember, you would never have to write them down.

I wouldn't mind Wii ID's. Codes are okay, but it's kind of sad like when you play with someone online like in a Team Battle, they help you and do pretty well and act nice towards you. You want to add them, but sadly, you can't unless you knew how to find them out online.

Gamertags type of style would be nice, but a unverisal friend code would be even better. Asking your friend for thier Wii, SSBB, MKW ,Endless Ocean code, GH3 is kinda annoying

Truer words have never been spoken. Unless you've said that before I guess. There is nothing inherently wrong with FC's. Any slight inconvienience to you people gets your panties in a bunch.

a universal friend code would be helpful but the only thing is it can be that long it should be a bit short
