Iwata: Nintendo is working to improve Wii Friend Code System
The Wii’s online Friend system isn’t the best thing to happen to the gaming world – let’s just say it’s not perfect. Agreed? Well, Nintendo’s own Saturo Iwata thinks so too, and he says that they’re working to improve it. More in the full article.
We all have our gripes about the Wii’s online Friend code system. It’s just not a friendly system, really. It’s like I have to memorize credit card numbers. Let’s just say the system is far from perfect, yes?
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s big boss, doesn’t believe the current system is perfect either, and says that they are currently working to fix it. However, he does say that he wants to maintain the sense of security the system gives:
First of all, I don’t think the current system we have with friend codes is perfect. However, if it’s an online world where you can get access to anybody without any restrictions, I as a father do not feel like allowing my daughter be engaged in that kind of world.
So for Nintendo, especially in terms of the people who have never experienced online video games before, we think that it’s still very important to create a world where we can assure that there will be no harassment for these online beginners, and we really want to assure the security and safety for them to do that.
So we will be studying this on an ongoing basis in order to improve Nintendo’s own circumstances where people can freely and safely enjoy the communications through the net.
