Nintendo says we like Wii friend codes.
lollercoaster \| 10:09 PM on 10.28.2007	8 comments

In an interview with Gamasutra, Nintendo of America's Public Relations manager Eric Walter, had this to say about Wii firend codes when asked about their use in Monster Hunter 3.

"We're still discussing that; we don't have anything to announce today. But the way that we think about friend codes is, when folks are online, and they want to play, they typically want to play with their friends. And so, they want to keep it to groups of people they know. We've seen, in the feedback we've gotten, that people don't mind the friend codes. They like them, because it keeps them playing with the friends that they do know, and it keeps their games "undisturbed," if you will."

Yes, 'undisturbed' is certainly one way to describe my Wii games.

I guess that's what the millions of Live subscribers have told them. Also, it is easy to make online games undisturbed when no one plays Wii games online 'cause the implementation is completely half-baked and back asswards. (No mic support? Are you fucking kidding me?)

He's right, though, my Wii in general is undisturbed. It's sitting under my TV collecting dust. I let it do what it's good at.

I have nothing witty to say. I think their success is getting to their heads. Meh, I guess it's just another PR spin. All companies do this.

Very Nintendo of America-ish.
