Poll results: Do friend codes ever keep you from playing online?

Posted Jun 6th 2007 12:40PM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: Nintendo Wi-Fi, DS Fanboy poll

A week ago, we asked you how you really felt about Nintendo's friend code system on the DS, and it turns out there's a real difference in opinion out there. It's particularly interesting to note that nearly a third of our readers who voted definitely spend more time gaming online on other platforms. Maybe these are the kind of numbers Nintendo should be looking at when they evaluate the company's online future, instead of these numbers.

Thanks to everyone who took part!

1. Speaking of being online, has anyone bought or tried out the US Opera browser yet? It was released this week and seriously got pushed to the side. I'd really like to buy it but want to know if flash was added. Thanks.
