So I asked him, "Equivilent to a gamertag on Xbox Live?" "Yeah, exactly," he said.

Also the ability to easily find friends. Rather than using friend codes, which we've had in the past, we're able to connect players in a much easier way, which allows us to have a community that's playing together in the game.

So no friend codes + user specific accounts? I guess that's one good thing coming out of this Wii U.

So that's good? I don't really understand how friend codes work anyway. I used the system like once or twice.

Oh and if it's like the 360 does that mean you'd have to pay for it? I hope not.

About time they did this. Maybe they are learning something from their competitors.

About time. Plugging in friend codes is so annoying.
