Nintendo, willing to change?

Could this be a glimmer of hope, or just plain PR bull?



I actually took some time the other day to 'shout out' on Nintendo's website. My message was concerning friend codes and how detrimental they would be to the online experience. Now, one thing I can say is that Nintendo is very good at returning emails. I was pretty impressed the first time I contacted them this way and was greeted by yet another email days later, saying thank you. Anyways, here is their latest response concerning the dreaded friend code system...

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

We have heard from various others like you letting us know how they felt regarding Nintendo's implementation of Friend Codes in the Wi-Fi Connection service for Wii. I want you to know that we appreciate your passion and concern. Let me assure you that your concerns have been heard and will be forwarded along. As always, keep an eye on our website (www.nintendo.com) for the latest developments in Wi-Fi gaming as they are made available.

Sincerely,

Hmm...'forwarded along' eh? we'll see about that.
