Nintendo Wii friend code privacy problem
How do you feel about the Nintendo Wii friend codes? Do you think there are problems, well Nintendo think so and have said friend codes aren’t perfect.
They would love to add features that many of you may have already suggested but have one major problem that involves children using the Nintendo Wii.
Privacy online is a big issue and even more so if we are talking about the younger gamer, Nintendo know this and it’s the one thing stopping them improving Wii friend codes.
They do not want children getting harassed and Nintendo want to assure people that safety and security of the gamer comes first.
The Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 have universal I.D.s across all online games, but the Nintendo Wii takes security more seriously and makes gamers insert a 12-digit friend code to play friends online.
If you wish to play strangers on the Wii it will be without the use of codes, we are hearing that improvements will be coming soon to the friend code system on the Wii. You can view other Wii News here.
What would be a good way for Nintendo to protect gamer privacy and encourage community on the Wii?
