Just one simple question.Why did nintendo make codes instead of usernames?

me:Do u have wii online

freind:Ill add u

freindWhats ure freind code?

Me:Idk i cant bloody remember it.

freind:How the hell do you **** add someone on wii?

me:umm I only know how to add you on mario strikers game

freind:I have to go check my freind code then

Why is there no usernames in nintendo?

Why?

How do i add someone on the platform not game

No wonder why wii sports resort doesnt have online

That would be way too easy.

Because having usernames would make too much sense, and Nintendo never does anything that makes proper sense.khoofia_pika

the same reason nintendo does anything,

for the lulz

I'm not entirely sure about the answer in this case, but I imagine it has something to do with security. If you give each console a friend code number, instead of letting them pick a username, at least you have a lead as to where the console can be located, or something similar should any problems arise with the network.

Also, this thread isn't generating much discussion. Should you really need to find your answer, research it. I'm locking the topic.
