Nintendo Is Learning.

April 10, 2008 - Up until now, in order to add a person to your Friend Roster when playing a Wii game online, or a Nintendo DS one for that matter, you've had to manually swap Friend Codes with someone you've known.

Mario Kart Wii is now out in Europe and Japan, and it's been confirmed that - for the first time - players can now simply add a "friend" to their roster of up to 30 by simply selecting an option after competing against a random person online.

They then become a friend without the manual code exchange process. In further friend features, the included Mario Kart Channel can be used to send an invitation to the Wii Message Board of players' Wii Friends.

Mario Kart Wii is driving Down Under on April 24, and you can participate in discussion on the game via the forums here.

Too bad they didn't have this for brawl, but it's still cool that they're learning so quickly. :wuv:

Three years is not exactly what I would call 'quick'.

Uh, they -do- have this for brawl. I brawled with 3 people the other day, only one I had the FC for. On the character select screen, I was able to push an icon and it automatically sent the info to them and, as far as I know, entered & registered it without ever leaving the character select screen.

Stop making retarded topics.

This is for random people, moron. It's different. You can play against random people, than add them to your list without any need to be the friend of a friend or any stupid shit like that.

Lets be honest here. Nintendo is just slow on the uptake for any new trend.

edit: Oh wait this is an old trend. They can be slow with those too.

You gotta cut them a bit of slack on this; after all Nintendo is almost 120 years old. Sometimes it's enough just to get out of bed in the morning.

Times like this I wish Hiroshi Yamauchi was still The President so I could keep making fun of him.
