Why Does Nintendo Refuse to Listen?

[TheMagicalKuja]

Even with all the poor whining in this topic, and even I who hardly plays ANYTHING online, I think friend codes suck.

Numbers are tougher to remember than names. To add to that fact you need a NEW number for EVERY game you make online. That's a lot of numbers, even if you don't have to enter anything more than once.

Sony has a superior online--but they were smart enough to not just be thinking about the Japanese. It's NoJ that's pulling all these crazy decisions, you're gonna have to talk through THEM first.

1 12 digit number can take seconds. But how about 32, 64 or W/e #? It could take Days or Weeks. Then you have to Point and click which also is annoying time consuming and energy consuming. Plus you need both codes to become friends.EA figured this out and made EA nation almost rivaling XBL, with no to little Lag!!!Whats more easy is just sending a friend Invite to one person so they can just click Accept and your friends. ALso if you just met online and you want to become friends with out giving out too much Info?

What game uses ****ing that many numbers?

Just because they have no experience and it would cost money doesn't mean that it wouldn't make it better. It doesn't mean that it's OUR fault. It's Nintendo's fault. I believe Sony's online is free as well, and uh...the point was that it was better than the Wii's.

I never said Sony's online wasn't better than Nintendo. I simply pointed out why all the *****ing about Wii online is butthurt fanboy bull ****. Nintendo is doing the best they can so stop comparing it to companys who not only have WAY more money than them but have more experience with online.

Okay, I'm not sure how that's "*****ing", it's a legitimate issue that I brought up. I didn't shout, whine, or anything, just said that Friend Codes are another issue.

And keep in mind that, without the use of things like SWF, you have to fight against only people you know. And guess what--I don't know a whole lot of people who play Brawl, nor who play it consistently. It's a stupid system that NO ONE ELSE USES. IT'S A USELESS HASSLE FOR THE LITTLE KIDS. IT'S NOT NECESSARY. And for supporting it, you're a moron. NO ONE likes it.

A number that takes seconds to enter that can be forgoten with no consequence after being inputed isn't a legitimite flaw. It's an annoying aspect but not one that deserves 24 hour flaming. I honestly don't like it myself but that doesn't mean I'm going to ***** about it when I understand why they use it.

Not all of us have unlimited friends who can play Brawl 24/7 just in case we get on. Most of my friends are NEVER on. And I don't have a whole lot of them, thank you very much.

If you don't have any friends online then call them and ask them to play. That's what my friends do and it works fine for us.

I think everything I brought up is absolutely legitimate. Maybe you should stop *****ing about people unhappy with Nintendo's online.

Or maybe you should get a life outside *****ing on the internet about stuff you obviously don't fully understand.

I have a fine connection. And on random matches, I can't choose who I play with/how far away they are.

And you're the only fanboy I see here. I've NEVER been happy with Nintendo's online, even when I still respected them.

UGH, blind fanboys make me throw up.

Would you preffer no online at all? Would you preffer to have to pay for online? Would you preffer no VC or WiiWare? Stop *****ing about Nintendo's online when it's better than what a company with such little experience is expected to do.

But you can only face people whom you know without the use of a forum! It takes longer than a second to find someone online and THEN input the code. I'm so glad that you have 100 people to play online with, and someone's always on when you want to play, but I don't have that fortune nor do many people.

Seriously, you're an ignorant, blind fanboy defending Nintendo on the biggest issue that EVERYONE admits sucks. Just stop.

Pick up a **** phone if your friends aren't online. How ****ing hard is that? I'm ****ing tired of all these ******* whiny little baby *****es that are complaining when they have absolutley no reason to. I'm not a fan boy and I'm not blind. Sony and Microsoft have much better online than the Wii will probably ever have. That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo's online service is way better than what it should be considering their inexperience and lack of funds to make an online experience like XBL.

If it meant that it would be improved then YESSSS!!!

Haha, that made me laugh.

Oddly enough, that first word wasn't meant be "GAYZ."

He's talking about registering 32 or 64 PEOPLE.

The next time you say "butthurt fanboy" (which is the most idiotic phrase I've ever heard), I stop listening to you. Honestly.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
So you're telling me that, with the ****load of cash they got from the casual gamers, they don't have enough money to make an online?! You're a riot.

And the other consoles have more experience because they actually tried last generation. Whose fault is it that they have no experience? Theirs. I didn't have any problem with no online last generation. But you can't say "Poor Nintendo has no experience" because that's THEIR fault.

A number that takes seconds to enter that can be forgoten with no consequence after being inputed isn't a legitimite flaw. It's an annoying aspect but not one that deserves 24 hour flaming. I honestly don't like it myself but that doesn't mean I'm going to ***** about it when I understand why they use it.

Okay, unlike the millions of other people that might complain about it 24/7, this is one of the few times I've brought it up, and it's because you started this flame war with your idiotic "GUYZ COME ON ITS YOAR FALT!" post.

I understand PRECISELY why they use it and that's PRECISELY why it annoys me even more! They're afraid the poor little 5 year-old casuals playing their games could get upset. Screw them.

If you don't have any friends online then call them and ask them to play. That's what my friends do and it works fine for us.

Okay. Believe it or not, both my friends and I have lives. I can call them anytime but that doesn't necessarily mean they're available does it? Honestly, you think I haven't tried calling my friends? I'm not an idiot, despite what you may think.

Or maybe you should get a life outside *****ing on the internet about stuff you obviously don't fully understand.

That was a personal attack that was COMPLETELY uncalled for. I don't know what the hell you've got up your ***, but leave us alone until you're ready to stop flaming incessantly.

Would you preffer no online at all? Would you preffer to have to pay for online? Would you preffer no VC or WiiWare? Stop *****ing about Nintendo's online when it's better than what a company with such little experience is expected to do.

Well, I'm going to get a 360 soon enough and pay for Xbox Live, so...yeah, I would rather pay for it.

Pick up a **** phone if your friends aren't online. How ****ing hard is that? I'm ****ing tired of all these ******* whiny little baby *****es that are complaining when they have absolutley no reason to. I'm not a fan boy and I'm not blind. Sony and Microsoft have much better online than the Wii will probably ever have. That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo's online service is way better than what it should be considering their inexperience and lack of funds to make an online experience like XBL.

Wow, you really swear a LOT.

As I said, there's a little thing called a life, and both my friends and I have one, so calling my friends to get online doesn't always work.

I have no reason to complain? Nintendo's online is far from perfect. And I don't think this complaining actually started going into full effect until you decided that you would flame anyone who even IMPLIED that Nintendo's online was bad. I didn't bring up any issues until you said Nintendo's online is perfect and it's MY fault that it sucks. You can't say it's perfect, and then get pissed when I give you reasons that it's not. Honestly, you really need to get a hold of yourself.

You are a blind fanboy if you won't accept that Nintendo's online could use improvement. Or, rather, that it CAN be improved, as you're convinced that "Poor Ninty is trying as hard as they can".

And uh...once again, as I said, I don't think a lack of funds are a problem at all. Nintendo has to be rich by now.

Are you blind, you have a 12 digit friend code right below your avatar. The Wii console itself requires a 16 digit friend code, and last time I checked Brawl can hold up to 64 friend codes, and you mean to say that you don't know what game takes that many friend codes with that many digits when when you clearly own one?

Spoiler

Brawl

They aren't doing their best, it's confirmed, read the May or June 08 issue of EGM and it should be in there, Nintendo doesn't care about online.

A number that takes seconds to enter that can be forgoten with no consequence after being inputed isn't a legitimite flaw. It's an annoying aspect but not one that deserves 24 hour flaming. I honestly don't like it myself but that doesn't mean I'm going to ***** about it when I understand why they use it.

I can't even remember any of my numbers for anything and the thought of having to go get my number, write it down, go to the computer and THEN look for people to play with just turns me off. Call me lazy but that is a terrible waste of time I could be using to actually play the game.

If you don't have any friends online then call them and ask them to play. That's what my friends do and it works fine for us.

Not everyone has a Wii. None of my friends have a Wii so this doesn't work. Don't tell me get new friends or get friends with Wiis or anything along those lines because I shouldn't have to. It's called ONLINE for a reason.

Or maybe you should get a life outside *****ing on the internet about stuff you obviously don't fully understand.

This isn't even necessary.

Would you preffer no online at all? Would you preffer to have to pay for online? Would you preffer no VC or WiiWare? Stop *****ing about Nintendo's online when it's better than what a company with such little experience is expected to do.

Cut the straw man argument. This terrible cookie cutter argument doesn't work on anyone, anywhere.

Pick up a **** phone if your friends aren't online. How ****ing hard is that? I'm ****ing tired of all these ******* whiny little baby *****es that are complaining when they have absolutley no reason to. I'm not a fan boy and I'm not blind.

That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo's online service is way better than what it should be considering their inexperience and lack of funds to make an online experience like XBL.

The first part of this quote is worthless. Why should I have to call my friends to get someone to play with online? Why not use a matchmaker service or a service with lobbies or rooms where you join or create games with different settings with filters so you can narrow down the setting you're looking for so if you want a 64 player team deathmatch with FF off you can do that instead of making the online experience some "OMG RaNdUm!" service.

Lack of funds? Nintendo? The company that makes a profit for every Wii sold? Please. Nintendo is just being silly and overprotective and it's hurting their online. They said they don't want to work on their online so they're not going to do it. It's just gonna stay FC based and barebones until Ninty decides they want their online to be worthwhile, which could be until they make another system but even then it will take them years to advance in online because it took Sony and MS years to get where they are and it's not as easy as just saying "Let's do online".

Lots of online games have it so that you can face that many of your friends/random people online. Maybe not that much. Sadly nintendo has none...

I never said Sony's online wasn't better than Nintendo. I simply pointed out why all the *****ing about Wii online is butthurt fanboy bull ****. Nintendo is doing the best they can so stop comparing it to companys who not only have WAY more money than them but have more experience with online.

You're the fanboy.

Way more money! Nintendo is beating every system when it comes to sales. Does that mean anything? No. Wifi is terrible and nintendo dosen't care about it.

A number that takes seconds to enter that can be forgoten with no consequence after being inputed isn't a legitimite flaw. It's an annoying aspect but not one that deserves 24 hour flaming. I honestly don't like it myself but that doesn't mean I'm going to ***** about it when I understand why they use it.

I visit friends and meet new people. Most of them having a wii and brawl or another game I own. Should I go up to them and ask each ones friend code and try to remember. It's something that is really annoying and does NOT get 24 hour flaming.

If you don't have any friends online then call them and ask them to play. That's what my friends do and it works fine for us.

ok......

Or maybe you should get a life outside *****ing on the internet about stuff you obviously don't fully understand.

Not ok........

Would you preffer no online at all? Would you preffer to have to pay for online? Would you preffer no VC or WiiWare? Stop *****ing about Nintendo's online when it's better than what a company with such little experience is expected to do.

For ps3 you dont pay and it's fine. The argument of "not having it at all" is a very weak one. What if they didn't add stage builder in brawl or wifi! OMG wouldn't that suck. Well if you're going to do something, do it right.

Pick up a **** phone if your friends aren't online. How ****ing hard is that?

I already explained this...thanks anyway for the summary of your post....

Even without that, it made me laugh.

*I detect the start of a flame war- Numa Dude vs. Reality*
I'm actually ok with your opinions; you are entitled to think what you want.

This was the only part that really was annoying.

STOP *****ING ABOUT FRIEND CODES! IT'S NO BIG DEAL TO PUT A NUMBER IN ONCE THEN HAVE TO NEVER WORRY ABOUT IT AGAIN!

I personally play brawl on GameBattles, and considering I play about one match every 15 minutes, my friend list fills up pretty fast. To date I have had to "clean" it up 5 times. This is just agitating. Over the course of my time on Brawl, (yes I calculated this) I have spent about 4.5 HOURS simply imputing and taking off names. That's insane.

What's odd is that Shigeru Miyamoto demands a modest salary for his work, when he should be the richest game designer on the face of the earth.
