If you're looking for a huge online community filled with gamers searching for new people to play over the internet with, exchange data and general interaction with others who own the same console as you, The Wii is probably not the best console to go with. At least in terms of using the actual console for these purposes.

Speaking in Forbes, Nintendo of America Presiden Reggie Fils-Aime tells us that Nintendo has always had a vision of an online community.

But many will ask: what could they do? Well for starters, they could bring their community up to code like the other consoles. And then branch out from there. Either way, you can't ever predict what Nintendo is going to do next.

Community. Right.

Because I want to identify my friends by a freaking number and not by a name.

Die, Reggie.

I hope you realize he's talking about a future community and not the state of it now? For all we know Nintendo could, in fact, developer a better community than the other consoles.

Sure, I doubt it will be good but I'm not being totally pessimistic. I'll be totally pessimistic when Shigsy leaves.

Don't forget that they got rid of the n-sider forums when they redid the website. Yeah. It sure makes sense to get rid of their only, and biggest community when a console that needs that more than anything is out.

I'm highly doubtful Nintendo can redeem themselves. They screwed up, and the promises leaving Reggie mean nothing.

Step One: Get rid of the fuckin friend codes

i cant even predict anything, Nintendo has been all talk so far with its Home console. DS is where the real success is at.

I like the uniqueness thing. Let's just hope it's for the better rather than the worse.

Hey, how's it goin' 4553-9638-9373?

Wait a second, doesn't the Bible say something about people being numbered? OMG! IT'S THE ANTI-CHRIST!

Is anyone's friend code 6666-6666-6666?

So, John revealed that the number of the devil is in fact six thousand six hundred and sixty six instead of six hundred and sixty six?

Not bad, 2613-3295-3834-2783. Thanks!

I always take the safe road, and that is the road that leads me to not believing anything Reggie says.

That's just the road if you ask me. Believing Reggie is the unfinished concrete.

Online community? From Nintendo?

Fix'd.

Lol @ this and happynoodleboy. Owned.

They could scrap the multiple friend code nonsense. One code per system, not per game.

Scrap codes, enable Wii Speak on ALL games

Even though Friend Codes are fairly new as they came in with Nintendo's online service (if you could call it that. Well, it's free, so yes), they already feel primitive.
