I’m going to need a collective groan from everyone on this one. Although everybody expected that the dreaded Friend Code system would be implemented in Brawl, that doesn’t make the official confirmation of this any less painful. Not only will players have to enter in a twelve digit code in order to add someone to their friends list, but we also have learned that the code will be unique to the game and will not be the same as your Wii console’s Friend Code. Hopefully, this will not initiate the trend of all major online titles having game-specific codes.
Despite the fact that the online functionality for Brawl is going to be disappointing, the game is still looking incredible. Come February, we can expect a fantastic experience overall from Brawl, but most likely not in the online department.
