The single friend code for the 3DS is a grand step forward for Nintendo – but for some it’s not far enough. Why not have unified friends lists like Xbox LIVE or the iPhone with Game Center? Well, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, the President of Nintendo of America, there are some very good reasons why Nintendo are persisting with this much maligned feature.
You spend your days playing with them. Maybe they’re your backup in a first-person shooter. Perhaps they heal your World of Warcraft guild raids. You count on them, and they count on you, but do you count them as friends?
Many of you have probably come across the Calloftheday’s video game boxes gone honest, but we wanted to point them out for those of you who haven’t. Not all of them are side splitters, but we enjoyed this response to Star Wars Galaxies (and really, all Star Wars games) pictured here. We also enjoyed the “Same Shit, Different Year” title for Fifa 2008 or MotoGP’s “Don’t Drive After Playing This Game.”
We also wouldn’t mind the DualShock 3 being renamed “we lied, you do care” or Nintendo’s friend codes going by something more catchy like “we want you to play with buddies IN PERSON, get it through your f’ing head already.” You say one thing, but you mean your mother.
