Are you sure?

From the site: "Wii friends who have registered one another’s names can play together freely."

That seems to imply that people on your Wii friend list will be connected already.

The friend codes in that one screen show 12 digits versus the Wii's 16...

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #30 on:** September 18, 2007, 05:48:11 AM »

Oh crap, and the button says "Enter friend code".

Unless they're planning a firmware update which will wipe out the Wii menu friend code system, then it makes no sense to be doing this.

...or they are adding a 2nd place to input friends codes, so you don't have to quit out of your game to enter one.

Very optimistic now, aren't we? :p

In all seriousness while I am happy that online mode is FINALLY confirmed Nintendo will probably mess it up one way or another, whether it be the use of friend codes or lack of options.

Hate to be a party pooper but Nintendo has messed up online play before, why would Brawl be anything different?

Because it's impossible to mess up Brawl multiplayer. Items are unnecessary as are multiple fighting options. All we need is the ability for people to get together and fight and it's good enough. Even if there is a reduced number of stages that can be fought on, it won't matter because the only ones worth playing with other people are the ones with the least amount of frills.

I wish that were the case, but as Bill pointed out, the code entry in the screen is 12 digits whereas the Wii codes are 16 digits.

what? I thought all the games of the console used the unique friend code list of the console, thats so lame.

good news still, but I don't see the appeal of going online with a fighting game (yes I know I'm very alone in that), something like the vouchers of MP3 is perfect for my internet needs.

I will give it a try anyway probably.

So? Screenshots don't always reflect reality. There are several explanations that come to mind

There are plenty of explanations. Some good some bad, but I think it's silly to assume how friends code system works internally until they come out with the "Friends codes were built wrong" daily update.
They might very well be using the OFCPG (One Friend Code Per Game, or 'Offkepig') but I don't know, and on top of that, I know I don't know.

Boy is someone going to be severely disappointed if its confirmed that friend codes are required...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #40 on:** September 18, 2007, 09:27:03 AM »

So disappointed to be taking a minute or two to put in friend codes...He could eat a hot dog in that time! =(

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 18, 2007, 09:34:01 AM »

Oh the friend codes thing doesn't bug me that much since I was planning on playing against my friends anyway. I'm just making fun of the fact that he is very positive that there is an alternative to friend codes to the point where he posts fake screens to prove his point.

It reminds me of back when the secret Melee clone characters were announced and people were angry as hell. They kept saying that the screens were fake and that the models were from an Unreal mod. The point is that they tried to cover up stuff with extreme positive thinking, which was just silly.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #42 on:** September 18, 2007, 09:35:29 AM »

I didn't say YOU could eat a hot dog in that time...

Imagine how many hot dogs Takeru Kobayashi could eat in that time.... Think of how disappointed Takeru Kobayashi must be.

I'm not saying they will use system codes OR they are using OFCPG codes either. My point is that I don't know, and getting my hopes up (or down) is pointless.
Internally (in my mind), it looks like they are using the OFCPG method, however I'm not going to say "Gosh dang it!" until I have some real evidence to back up my cynicism.

One could easily input friend codes while eating a hot dog.

I don't want to start up the argument again, but I just don't want to have to put 50 friend codes in for SSBB, 50 for Mario Kart Wii, 50 for Animal Crossing, etc. when my Wii already KNOWS those 50 people.

Just doesn't make sense, is all.

Wow, Matt at IGN needs to calm down. When everyone is excited that they get to play Smash online for the first time...and is generally overall positive, Matt starts bitching about no voice chat in Brawl.

He can't understand why Nintendo would create this limitation and how it overall sucks that Nintendo would do this to him...he seems to take it personal.

Well, you know what here are some things to think about Matt.

1)Voice chat would be one more think taking up the bandwidth possibly slowing down the game and making it unplayable in 4-player mode.

2)Sure voice chat among your friends may have been cool, but voice chat with people that aren't your friends = royal suckage.

3)Nintendo still needs to protect itself. This is why friend codes are still used, and why voice chat is being delayed. The fact is...it doesn't matter if gamers have to put the friend codes in themselves, if parents find out their kids are talking to strangers online...Nintendo will be attacked by special interest groups, out for blood.

4)Who has time to chat when you are kicking ass and taking names.

Ok, I will admit that voice chat would have been cool, but I think it is an overreact to blog and complain about such a minor issue, specially if you don't know all the decisions behind it.

Last, he complains that the text taunts are archaic and he is upset that you can't know the names of the random people you play online. Well I like the fact I can go online and play anamously...and the text taunts can be great humor. I personally can't wait to write my taunts for in game play.
