That was the response I got. The original message I sent was this:

The DS is a great system, but the idea of individual friend codes for the system is annoying at best. Now we're hearing that the Wii will do the same thing.
The Wii already has a built-in friend code system, with a built-in friends list. There's no reason, or excuse, not to use this feature for Wii's online games.
It's obvious enough that this response will be disgarded with the thousands of other voicing their disgust at this news, but if Nintendo were to ever listen to their fans, that time is now. Nintendo has adopted a philosophy of quick, easy, and intuitive, and title-specific codes go against this philosophy like a samon during spawning season.
An online plan with title-specific friend codes is one that deserves to fail. Hopefully you at Nintendo can correct this mistake before it's ever made. Maybe we'll luck out...*sigh*

Well when people seen the PS3's batarang controller and freaked out about it, they changed back to the DualShock, so complaining to Nintendo is a great idea. You should consider sending complaints often, really.Shut_Me_Up
