The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I didn't see a thread for this, and I figured it be front page. Let me know if one's already been started.
From 1UP:
GameSpy will be providing the middleware tools for Nintendo and third-parties to bring Wii online.
Falafelkid: Just one last question to make absolutely sure I have got this right, please. If I have a friend roster in one game, that roster will not be available to me in any other game. I have to build up an entirely new list for each title, right?
GameSpy: The answer to your question is yes, for the Wii friend lists are game specific.
The optimist in me wants to focus on the wording of the question and answer, i.e. the use of 'Friend List' instead of 'Friend Code'. I'd like to think that this only means each game with have it's own friend roster, pulled from your Wii address book, but the realist in me is lead to believe that the Wii will go the same way as the DS. I know Nintendo is stubborn in their ways, but I would hope they wouldn't completely ignore the wants of the consumer.
What do you guys think?
tl;dr - Gamefly has stated that 'friend lists' are going to be game specific. I really hope they don't mean 'friend codes'.
