Adding to the Friend Code fire is a claim from producer Justin Dowsedell, of Next Level Games, that Friend Codes on the Wii will be Mii-specific. When you go online in Mario Strikers Charged, for example, we know you choose a Mii to represent yourself online. The Friend Code that is then generated is based on that Mii. What does that mean? It means that assuming you use the same Mii to represent yourself online in every other future Wii game that uses it, you’ll have the same Friend Code. It’s almost like your Mii has a screenname.

Dowsedell isn’t from Nintendo, but he’s close enough to the inside to have an idea of how the whole system will work. We’d rather hear from Nintendo, of course, but in the mass confusion as to whether or not Friend Codes will or won’t be game specific, this is good news.
