Wii Friend Codes Unique To Each Game?

[_skitzo_]

Blog Nintendo Revolution are claiming the scoop on today's saddest news:


"There will not be unified gamer tags or codes for Wii online games. Users will have to register with each title separately, as is already the case with the DS and the Wii´s first online title, ´Pokemon Battle Revolution´.

This exclusive information comes from GameSpy´s PR people after I asked them to go into the details of them providing the Wii´s online service."

Falafelkid First broke this story and says
"Hi, I broke this story. It´s confirmed alright. The person I interviewed is a GameSpy PR rep and checked back with the people concerned before answering. She is fully authorized to speak on the company´s behalf. In fact, there is no other way of contacting the company.

Also, Nintendo has sort of confirmed this. Eurogamer have contacted Nintendo UK and received the following reply: "Nintendo has taken this step as we believe it's the right thing to do.""
