Dear Nintendo, We, the fans, are sick of having to exchange friend codes with each other in order to be able to play with friends on your online service; especially with the recent launch of Super Smash Bros Brawl. Also, being randomly thrown into games when you don't want to play with friends can be quite aggravating, and finding new friends is very difficult when you have to pass out 12 digit numbers. It's just simply distressing to see Nintendo operate with what is widely recognized as the worst online system out there, and we want to help fix this. A new system needs to be worked out, something more along the lines of an account/usernames system would be better and would keep the fans happy, and would help future Nintendo games with online compatibility thrive and be more successful. Please consider this petition seriously and enact some changes for the future. Thank you for your time!

I am genuinely floored by how many of you have shared your frustration about these codes because I really thought I was the only one struggling to connect with friends. Your stories in the comments are helping me realize just how much this system is holding back our games. I am working on putting these thoughts together into a formal letter to send over to them.
