Wow is it just me or is Nintedo being TOO safe now?

Well, Friend codes I dont mind them, they are passable and I can accept that Nintendo wants to be safe about their online system.

But the yesterday's release of the Check Mii Out channel the is starting to push it.

Individual Mii codes?!?1 That just ruins the whole point of searching. Also you have to put initials on the miis? Cmon Nintendo what possible harm can come out of searching a Mii's name? Also what harm can having a full Mii name displayed?

I don't know about you guys. But im starting to think they're going a little to far.

People would have been putting stupid crap like F-you b&*$. But yeah does it really matter?Duckman5

I know what you mean but I can see Nintendo's reasoning behind it. It may not have been the best decision but it makes some sense.

yea what he said :P

why do people complain like this?

we got a free channel thatmay not perfect, what did you expect

Definitely going too far. I mean entering initials? What kinda crap is that?Sants412

What's MASATOG? :?

The whole concept of friend codes is flawed to its very core. People just go on forums like these and its even more dangerous like that. The fact that people are still playing and communicating with strangers is what FCs were supposed to stop. So we have a restricitive online system that doesnt even do its job while having a completely shallow experience online. So that leaves us with a lose lose situation.

I really think they should reevaluate this because there is tremendous force by the fans to stop this madness. They should just make a regular online system which involves only one username for all your games and you can search and send friend requests. Many trusted sites and gaming systems use it and with the parental controls on the Wii, Nintendo is not liable for lawsuit by really bored busy body mommies who got Nintendo to stop this in the first place.

At the very least let us talk to our FC friends. Like say MoH2 your playing a 32 player match and your friends are in it, at least make it so we can message and voice chat with them. At the very least appeal to us Nintendo!!!!

It's like that but not quite as dynamic as my example. I know the Wii already restricts games with certain ESRB ratings, I say the Wii should be able to restrict online modes too if those features are enabled by parents.

thank you. I remember writing something like this that you stated when the Nsider forums were up n running. It will just encourage "young ones" to go to un-safe sites and look for codes.

the ch. is already becoming lame. From the stupid dancing in the parade to the numbers for miis. Nintendo really likes numbers. Tjeremiah1988

Oh COME ON!!! This is just crap fc are ok but this AGHHHHHHH!!!

i agree....its starting to tick me off.....well!, at least no friendcodes in medal of honor tommorow! lolgreyfox08

Hysterically, the word "Nintendo" is banned on Xbox Live for your motto. :lol:

Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I agree 100% with the topic creator. Entering all of those numbers is such a hassle, It cripples the weak online even further. I might as well get used to it, the Wii is my only next-gen system. I play single player mainly though.

But Mii-codes, C'MON NINTENDO! really?

I reckon all those who complain, are pedophiles. Admit it.AzzoLovesBirdy
