Say it took 7 seconds to input every friend code (and considering you need to wait for the Wii to bring up THREE confirmation messages which you need to say "Ok" to AND enter the name and Mii of the person, I guarantee it has to take at least that long),
30 * 7 = 210 seconds / 60 seconds = 3.5 minutes
417 / 3.5 = 119.14 Words read per minute.
The
average is 250 to 300 words per minute.
You're either lying or retarded. Which is it?

I do understand your frustration and I do wish it was different, but I do understand and respect Nintendo's point of view. In the end, Friend Codes are just not that big of a deal to swap between mutually consenting people. Stick to the skill based auto-matchmaker if you just want to play online.
All I'm saying is that there's no reason to have a redundant friend code system for individual games, especially when Konami technically already showed Nintendo up with Elebits using the address book to send screenshots, meaning that software is NOT blocked off from utilizing the address book.
I can tolerate putting in the code for each person I intend to play with/against, but for every game?
Also, don't forget that, in a group of Nintendo fans, it's pretty likely to find 20 people who will all play the same 5 Nintendo games online.
I'd be fine if software used the address book. I still think they need to do better, but it would be livable.
I still don't understand why we can't just use our usernames from Nintendo's official site in the same manner as we currently use friend codes. If someone adds your account name to their list, they still won't be able to see you and you will have NO idea they've done it unless you register their username as well. Same system, just without the cumbersome 16 digit numbers.
