I could have sworn last week they confirmed that you can send about a 2 line message to friends

Reliable source? I do not know them, but thanks for the link. I guess we can have a discussion about if it does allow messaging or not :D

I dunno if they are reliable, I mean it says so on the 3ds wiki as well. I guess we really just have to wait for confirmation at this point. But lets hope we get it!

Well good enough for me... olus I was going around and saw this... I know its wikipedia, but hey, use what information we have

Nintendo is so good at appeasing parents potential fears. Remember the news segment about pedophiles on pictochat in malls trying to lure children? They don't want us talking to anyone or texting anyone. We can all be alone together on Nintendo's internet.

This topic of my quote.. thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard.. The same could be said about cellphones and laptop/internet and the 360. No where is really safe anymore.. Unless parent put their child in a plastic bubble and background check everyone whom ever talks to him/her then chances are somewhere in that childs life there is going to be a bad person.

and why would you even need a chat feature on a handheld gaming devise anyways.. if ya wanna chat it up then get a cellphone or pda or something that was designed for chat/text.

Added (almost forgot) .. as for the indocator light on the 3ds that tells ya when friends are online/their 3ds that feature was added stricky as a way to see whom is on their ds when you are so you can play multiplayer games with them, since with the 3ds only 1 friend code is needed (instead of like before where each game needed its own friend code.)

One of my favorite things with new consoles is the abiltiy to message your friends. It makes you feel more social. This really sucks. I hope at the very least you can mesage in game. I hate games where you can play online but cant communicate at all. You might as well just play bots if you cant talk to who ever your playing with. Why would they not have online chat? Is it that difficult to add it to the system built in?

Just as Nintendo starts getting things right, they add back in MP3 support, the possiblity for in game music, and one universal friend code, they take a step back.

No messaging system at all to contact your friends. That means, it doesn't matter if you can see your buddy playing Street Fighter online, if you don't have their phone number that means nuttin'!

Ok, I suppose the game may have the ability to send you to their match, but more than likely the friend playing street fighter won't be in an open match, since its 1v1.

Pretty disapointing if you ask me, makes the friends list pretty pointless.
