friend codes have ruined my experiences, i'm either too lazy or too busy, its too much of a hassle. I don't like dealing with it, so i don't. I really wanted to play with all of you. Especially with Smash bros, i have never connected with any of you. Their network was slow and didnt work for one, and two i think my window eventually passed. When i did try to play with people like unclebob they were busy, or it didn't work. I've played with actual friends, but we organized by talking over the phone. Which i think is too much for connecting online. I never had any problems connecting to play games on the other 2 systems. N64 this ain't. Its not the play with a bunch of friends console. Neither was gamecube, but gamecube had single player games I wanted to play. Actually i take that back there was a slew of fighting games on gamecube. I was younger though and my friends were a lot less busy with life. So it was easier to get together.
