Your friendscode is essentially your gamer tag. So I doubt it. They might integrate a system to make it easier though.

Good news, althought i never really had a problem with DS Online, since i just posted my FC in my sig, however, it will be much easier if the Wii titles just used the 'Wii code'.

It is going to be like the DS online. Probably a bit easier because of the console code instead of individual friend codes. Gamespy did the DS online too and they said that it was "innovative" and make it sound like the DS online was great, and that they are bringing that online to the Wii. Don't get your hopes too high. This is not gonna be Xbox Live material. I think it will be closer to the PS2 online. Which is just fine by me.

“Our goal is to extend our ground-breaking work on the Nintendo DS to provide Wii users with the social, community and multiplayer tools that we believe will expand the online gaming experience to the mass market.” I love the sounds of that. I can't wait for the ranking data too. I just hope they lessen the amount friend codes are needed.

Do I have to quote this for you guys to understand? this is the DS online pretty much. Just upgraded a little bit. QUOTES: Prior to this development agreement for Wii, GameSpy and Nintendo brought gamers wireless community options for Nintendo DS™. The service provided an innovative network for portable video games, allowing people around the world to link easily and wirelessly to play games. The partnership represented GameSpy’s first foray into portable games. “Nintendo has been an invaluable partner and we look forward to expanding our relationship with them in the future,” said Jamie Berger, Senior Vice President of Consumer Products and Technology for IGN Entertainment. “Our goal is to extend our ground-breaking work on the Nintendo DS to provide Wii users with the social, community and multiplayer tools that we believe will expand the online gaming experience to the mass market.” They are just expanding the DS online onto Wii.

People really aren't getting this. They've been partners with Gamepy for years now: that's where the DS network comes from. There is nothing here that indicates it will be *any* different than the DS network, friends code and all. It's another piece of evidence that it *will* be like the DS network, friends codes and all.

This is bad news, not good.

I've never had any problem with the way online play for the DS works. The only addition that might be good is chat before and after games. I don't want to deal with people cussing and randomly dirty talk during a game. I don't have any problem with friend codes either. I don't like ranked matches though. I think that's a bad idea for video games in general.

So, you're cool with a basic non-centralized service. That's fine. A great number of us would like something a bit more thought out and integrated, and the legions using Live would seem to agree that's the target. Nintendo using that for the Wii would result in yet another 'feature' that people rarely use because it's too much of a hassle and not well enough thought through.

yes, friends rosters, improved matchmaking, and ranking data. all very bad things.. why the hell would we want an improvement over the DS system? I mean, universal friend codes (*ahem* gamer tags) are the most pointless thing ever! why does the wii even have wifi, we should have to get a 56k modem adapter to play our games yea!!

yes, bad news all around that theyre working to improve an online system people have been complaining about.

Why Nintendo have the friend code thing is beyond me, what are they trying to do make it as difficult as possible to play people online! Guess I can't complain because you don't need to pay hopefully this new service will be free too

I remember during the Gamecube run that Nintendo almost made a similar deal with Gamespy. I always wondered what happened to it. Looks like Nintendo just waited for the Next Gen to do it. It's about time!! Good move by Nintendo. They do like online gaming afterall!!

This service may not be better than live at first (although it is a massive improvement on the current service) but with regular updates and stuff it could turn out to be just what avid online players have been craving for.
