demonmike04 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Source: Go nintendo http://wii.nintendo.com/wifi.html Wifi page, Friend codes confirmed. ALSO A Virtual console page, doesnt work, but im guessin this site is ready for an update. http://wii.nintendo.com/games.html Alternate wii software page, Fire emblem and wii music added. Fire emblem doesnt work, wii music does, but the link to the page says 'Wii party'
Hellfire Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 We already knew that, we just don't know if it's universal or not.
InvaderElmo Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Great find. It should be noted, though, that the friend code system may still be a universal friend code this time around rather than different codes for each game. I believe one of the Nintendo gods had previously used the words "friend code" in conjunction with the Wii console, so it isn't too surprising. I think the "Wii Party" link is the most interesting find. Either they are going to release Wii Music as a game or they are releasing Wii Party. Personally I think it would be cool to see a Mario Party type of game with a Smash Bros. cast of characters, complete with unlockable characters. I realize that Mario Party has gotten very stale over the years, but it has consistently sold well and the Wiimote and a completely overhauled cast (and gameboards from Hyrule etc.) would definitely breathe new life into the series. Perhaps the name Wii Party is to let everyone know that this version is going to be different than the past iterations.
mike-zim Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 i hope wii party is the new mario party it would be really good we will party for sure.
demonmike04 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Im sure Wii music (or party) is the music compilation (Remember, they had drums at E3 too) so this could be a very popular title.
Ten10 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Yes, I would prefer a universal wii friend code and username. That way you don't have to keep typing in the codes of your friends each and everytime, in what would probably be a slower format of doing so than on the ds.
DCK Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Nintendo can't do seperate friend codes. One code is complicated enough. You can't give a console three letters in the name and then expect your players to remember 12 digit codes for each game they have.
Helmsly Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I hope we won't have to use Friends code with every game. If a game like Phantasy Star Universe came out on the Wii, Friends codes would ruin it.
demonmike04 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 First link doesn't work anymore. Yes it does..
triforcemario Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Yes it does..It just gives me a error page each and everytime.
demonmike04 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 You are talking about the wifi page right?
Demuwan Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 It just gives me a error page each and everytime. Nintendo have taken it off for some unknown reason?
demonmike04 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 Not for me, and its not loading from memory either according to the loading bar.
The Peeps Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I can't get on either, it comes up with an error.
Tellyn Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Not for me, and its not loading from memory either according to the loading bar. Can you put up quotes?

That page was a bitch to copy and paste... And it seems to only be working on my AOL browser..i guess it is stored in my computers memory. Also, the images off the page.. (Thought i'd include them)
Ike Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/ ^ NoE Wii page Seems to be the same as NoAs, but the NoE has a area to sign up for a newsletter and Super Smash Bros Brawl has a info box instead of just a link to the official site.
dabookerman Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Friend codes suck no matter what system its on.
Cube Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 So, does that mean Smash Bros is Confirmed to be online? edit: http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/?site=wifi.html&l=enGB I'm glad they are going for the same system as the DS, miles better than the CS:S system.
arab_freak Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 The pages give me 404 errors. I would fucking hate Nintendo for the Friend Code system. Why can't they just have both? A username+password for adults and the FC system for kids.
Cubechris Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Those who have it in your cache, post screenies plz.
Kazzahdrane Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I'm glad they are going for the same system as the DS, miles better than the CS:S system. Do you mean the Steam Friends system? ...what is there not to like about it (at least now that it's actually up and running again)? I'd much prefer an Xbox Live Friends-type setup than having a Friends code for every single online-enabled Wii game I buy and have to hand that code out to all my Wii-owning friends on the chance that they get the game. Much better to have an online Wii profile and Friends list, and then be able to see which friends are online and what they are playing. Then go "Oh Dave is playing Smash Bros", stick in the Smash Bros disc and go play with him. I may have misunderstood your comment though, apologies if I was actually agreeing with you or something :P
