Please I hope more developers tell Nintendo how fucking stupid and pointless friend codes are.
I hate friend codes as much as the next guy, but I would hate even more if every game had its own system for online.
Wii Player1: "Hi WP2, lets be friends, what's your friend code?"
Wii Player2: "Well my friend code is 734723438743, but if you want to play Madden my name is WiiPlayer2, for Mario Strikers is awesomeStriker2, for Awesome Cool Game XXI it's coolGuyGamer2.
I want madden's friend code.
I want to hear him talk shit over wii messages.
"Good game, you played good d, had a good head on your shoulders. Made all the right plays. I expect you will be sucking on my left nut again sometime in the future."
I'd never thought I'd day this, but well done EA.
i guess the ds and wii aren't perfect.
but eh, they're [/url [url=http://wii.destructoid.com/]close
re-do!
they're close
EA is doing whatever the hell they want to,
I guess since they've been around as long as
they have they get to do whatever they
want to. Fuck Them
they rock!
Yea I thought I would never say this but congrats EA for not using friends code... But after reading the interview I find it interesting that you can draw on the screen, because I would write like you suck or WTF on screen instead of circles and x's...
Wait, will the in-game chatting allow use of a keyboard, and thus the first actual use of the USB ports for more than charging PS3 controllers? Been wondering why no peripherals have been made for the USB ports yet, but the Bluetooth and add-on plug on the Wiimote kinda covers the majority of peripheral needs.
This is excellent news. Not because I care about Madden, mind you, but because it means that playing Wii online CAN be done without Friend Codes. Hopefully others follow suit.
Nintendo should just let EA run the online ID's with EA nation for everything
that way you have a GOOD simplified online ID like a Gamertag or PSN ID
@ Nick: "built write in" --> "built right in"
Also, "He also goes on to confirm that while the game won't be supporting voice chat this year." ...yes? Do go on. :)
Sorry to catch you on a double-whammy. :)
That is too bad to hear that a game I probably won't play won't have features that I won't use. Maybe Madden 2009 will use the DS to draw plays and, since it has a microphone, we won't need an extra peripheral.
You cool kids and your BB code. With your embedded URL tags, and your beat-boppin' and your hip-hoppin. Stop making us un-cool kids look so bad! DO NOT WANT!
More developers should *threaten* this, so that Nintendo will revamp their system.
lol
pappadukes, i'm sorry
