Do you think....

Wii friend codes should be shorter??
I do...
I mean it's 16 numbers why can't it be like 4-8 numbers? it would be easier to remember...

 

They should have gone the microsoft way, nicknames

 

maybe but why u want to remember your wii code???

 

well they maby guess that many ppl shoud buy the wii so they made loads of codes. XD

 

Yeh a 4-5 digit code would soon run out of single idenity, over 9,999 sold and thats it. I guess, unless they used LETTERS haha.

 

No, because there are just SOO many people that they need every single number in that 16 digit code.. /sarcasm

 

I said 4-8 or maybe have nicknames like engwii said..

 

Maybe but, then they start ending up with the stars and weird letters that arnen't always recognisable. I dunno friend codes is good, it would be nice to have a personal nickname, but friend codes is more like..your wiis phone number so to say, you can't change your phone number from 0798374643 (FAKE NUMBER, JUST TYPED RANDOMLY AFTER 07-) to BOB_C_SMITH, so i think its just the same really.

 

I don't mind wii codes I just write them down on a piece of paper

 

names would have been better, and a better way to add friends would have been better something like on the PS3

 

true, names would be better, but it needs to be a unique identifier.... e-mail addresses would have been the best way i think

 

nick names would be better than codes..but whatever. the codes work even though most people don't like them.

 

Names would have been a lot better as the human brain can remember words better than numbers.
But its not like we are going to be using the codes a lot anyways.

 

Yeah, that nickname thing has happened to me many times, how are you connecting to teh net, Liister?
And you probably could change 0798374643 to BOB_C_SMITH...

...Some time in the future.


I think that it should be the original 12 numbers, mainly because I remember those easier.

 

I don't really mind, It works even though people complain about them.
