Wii remote controller packaging:

And the reall good news, Nintendo has decided to use only 1 friend code for all online games.

No individual friend codes for games on the Wii!

Nintendo Europe have confirmed on their Wii microsite that the Wii won't have specific friend codes for gamers to connect titles online. The fact the DS has seperate codes for each game has arguably been seen unfavourably among Nintendo fans, compared to having one user code which stays constant whatever game you're playing.

The fact Nintendo has chosen this style of online networking has us all very happy indeed. As ever, voice your opinions on the forums by the link below!

Nice, I've been worried about all that friend code business.

Edit: and that packaging looks very.... Apple.

The whole system has looked apple so far. It is just the futuristic look Nintendo is going for.

No, the giMmick is reserved for the new iPod shuffle revision.
