The beginning of something that will hopefully become a healthy trend with
Wii games. One of the
Wii's major online games set for release this year will be shipping completely without the need for Friendcodes during online play. This of course could mean that players can add their friends by entering a user name and even allow for voice chat with random players.
While there was no clarification on what game it is, signs seem to be pointing to
the Conduit, which already promises voice chat, beautiful graphics and a robust online mode. We will keep you posted.
